West Coast Hedge Funds?

Part of me wants to head back to the NYC area, but for a myriad of reasons, mostly personal/family, I am forced to stay out West. Seattle and Denver are my two top cities with SF being the third. 

Any insight into the HF scene in these cities? Top funds (Seattle/Denver)? Thoughts? 

Obviously I realize I am kneecapping myself. Thanks
