Only have experience with the Michelins but i will say they had great performance throughout the life of the tire
I went Michelin AS4, and they hold their performance at a big temp and condition range
I ditched the run flats and switched to Michelin cross climate 2, and that improved the ride quality significantly over stock.
If you deal with snow and don't want dedicated snow tires the CrossClimate2 is a great choice. I put them on last month and took a slight range hit but they have done great in a couple storms as well as longer trips to warmer climates.
They really are amazing tires.
I have the cc2s on my highlander and camry. They get about 45k miles on them. I have driven them on gravel and grass fields. Where they excel in my opinion is when you hit a deep puddle unexpectedly at high speeds. You don't lose control. Also, very good on slushy/icey roads and in the rain.
I do have CC2. Not to be overlooked--CC2 are also very good in the rain, not just snow. That may be of value in Seattle. excels in the rain, offering excellent wet traction, impressive hydroplaning resistance, and significantly shorter wet braking distances, even stopping shorter than competitors when worn
I have the CC2's and they are awesome.
They'll suck on hard packed snow and ice and anybody who says they are the equivalent to a snow tire is dead wrong. But don't take that as they are bad, they are still good, just not what people hype them up to be during the winter.
I've been selling tires for two decades and I've never driven on a set of X-Ice tires I've liked. Continental Viking Contact 7 & 8's are great, as well as Bridgestone Blizzaks, have always performed better in my opinion.
