Best markets to start a career?
I have decided that I want to pursue a career in commercial real estate.  I am looking for jobs in sales/brokerage and with development firms.  My first choice is to get into sales.  I am wondering if anyone knows of any great resources to analyze markets.  I am pretty geographically flexible, but I am interested in the following cities:

Seattle, WA
Portland, OR
Denver, CO
Salt Lake City, UT
Burlington, VT

The pacific northwest and rocky mountain states really appeal to me.  Does anyone have any advice for picking a location and finding a job?  Any ideas are welcome.  Thank you.
