Are Reading and Seattle similar?

Overheard on the Thames Valley Park bus this week: “Seattle is a little like Reading.” 

I’ve not been to Seattle before.  Apart from grey weather, Microsoft campuses, other technology companies and perhaps, even, the Starbucks influence (the coffee corporation is headquartered in Seattle and has opened several outlets in Reading), what do the two places have in common? 

Any ideas?
