I think that maybe more accurate for entry level developers. Housing is an issue to work around for sure.
Seattle - Yes (but also quite expense)
Austin - Yes to a less degree
Portland - Maybe.
All of these are great cities with plenty of dev jobs. You really need a strong CS program to build around if you want think about not moving to Silicon Valley. University of Washington totally fits that bill, as does University of Texas- Austin, but I would have to guess that Portland has a good local university (but I'm not familiar with it from afar like the others)
