If you would like to be in Seattle eventually I think that makes the most sense naturally. However the optionality you get by starting your career in a gateway market can be very valuable. I think Boston especially is really underrated as a place to start off. It's got a great combination of interesting, driven young people from all walks of life, a strong local economy, and a real estate scene that is filled with both local players and institutional capital. Since you are a sophomore I would suggest that you don't get too fixated on specific geographies and try something you don't think you will be able to do later in your career.
