Do you take advantage of the nature in the PNW?
Are you in an O+G related field?
The biggest advantage for Calgary is the ratio of Salary to Cost of Living is really good for those that remain employed. Taxes by Canadian standards are low for those with higher incomes.
From a livability standpoint it’s pretty good. Good airport, Good restaurants, Arts scene is good for City if it’s size. It has your basic metropolitan stuff at an okay level. A solid Tier 2 city.
Where it shines is nature. If you are an outdoors person it’s pretty awesome. The 2nd or 3rd best Mountain range in the world. If you like Summer and Winter outdoor activities Calgary is hard to beat.
It does lack lakes. Have to drive into BC or North for those.
