Private health insurance sucks ass in WA, but other than that it does look good :)
That and the transportation. Otherwise, Seattle is probably the place I like to live in the states the most. The traffic and lack of good public transport options is a serious negative :(

But yeah, the other forms of transportation (including plodding your own car through the traffic) kinda suck.

What is a "fiber transmitter"?
There are laser transceivers for use in open air, but they don't work particularly well in rain or fog. So not great for Seattle.

I'm moving to Seattle in January and was already planning to sign up with CondoInternet. Seeing as my to-be neighborhood is one of those they say this will be offered in, I'm now wondering when this will be rolled out. Awesome news though. Edit: "Gigabit Squared will be aggressively building, with eyes towards beginning services in the Fall of 2013."
it is just getting better and better to live here in Seattle. Legalization of weed, same-sex marriage, and now high-speed internet

I wasn't aware of any place that was particularly ~good~ for private health insurance.

Granted, there's currently no subway, but within the city there's light rail, a decent bus system, streetcars, and generally bike-friendly infrastructure aside from the steep hills. There may be a lack of an excellent public transportation system, but there's still a good one in place.
I've been using a combination of Zipcars and Uber for my other transportation needs.
Awesome news. Comcast's monopoly on broadband in certain neighborhoods has produced nothing but sub-par internet access. This should greatly improve things.
