Private Equity/Hedge Funds based in Seattle?

I'm currently a first year investment banking analyst and am beginning to think about upcoming recruiting for PE. While I know I want to stay on the west coast, I wanted to get an idea of whether there are any strong exit opportunities in Seattle (what industry, what firms, etc), or if opportunities will be mostly limited to LA and SF. Ideally, I would love to live in Seattle, but I'm not sure if it's a strong option based on what I want to do. Thanks in advance for any information!

 

Just curious would you ever think of starting your own PE firm? take a salary to live on and fundraising out of the equation, what would stop you? would you want more experience?
