Though I haven't been to every one of them, I went with Seattle. Though it does rain quite a bit, I would rather deal with that than the traffic issues in southern California. The fish market, the needle, the UW campus, etc are all great.
I will say that the mountain region where Boulder/Denver is located as well as the Salt Lake City area are also very beautiful.

The new, about 5 years old arena and its weird looking floor, and Voodoo Donuts.
Seattle is also a great town, but I have only been there for the Pac 12 Tournament, not a home game at UW.
Colorado is a beautiful campus, but I prefer not to deal with the snow.
Haven't been to Pullman or Utah's campus.

| Berkeley is a good way to visit the Bay Area but also avoid renting a car and the Bay Area traffic by taking BART. The campus is right next to a BART station and BART now goes to the airport.

I think the Pac12 has the best assortment and variety of college towns/cities... after that, maybe the Big 10 or the ACC..
By the way, I voted Boulder..
Pac12 college towns/cities: Boulder, Seattle, Tempe, LA, Palo Alto, Berkeley, Eugene..
Ugh, If I could do college all over again I definitely would go the Pac12 route (probably Boulder or Seattle.... Palo Alto and Berkeley if my grades permitted)

My brother and sister-in-law lived in Pullman for 15+ years. I think they were glad to leave finally. They're in western Montana now.

I shall refrain from voting, as I've only been to 4 of those locales so I can't
judge fairly, but....Seattle is one of my all-time fave cities. And I'm not a city-lover, by nature.
