Seattle

Seattle is a growing city in the Northwest of the USA. I have lived on and off in Seattle for about 15 years.
Seattle is growing in some area's pretty quickly, not always too intelligently though, our suburbs sprawl out north and south for miles and miles.
Hopefully as Seattle grows, the city retains its reputation for being a mostly polite and friendly place to live and visit.
Seattle is the largest city in the Northwest of the USA, so its somewhat front and center for many services, such as embassies or federal offices.

*Special* Crazy people in Seattle

1.That guy that for 5 years has stood outside the Pacific Place Mall protesting his eviction 5 years ago from an apartment unit. Accusing the apt/police being devil communist satan worshipers.

2.The homeless guy that walks 50 feet, rotates 360 degrees, walks 50 feet, rotate 360, repeat.

3.People who move here from warm, sunny, clear places and are surprised it actually does Rain in Seattle.

4.That lady that threatened to jump off the bridge and instead waited for 5 hours, holding up traffic for miles.
Until Finally people said "Just Jump B-tich"

Pros and Cons
  • Pros:Big City, Lots of activity, Mild Weather, Good Winter sports
  • Cons:Traffic, Expensive Housing, Short summer
  • In a nutshell:Yes. We really did vote to tax latte's, it didnt pass.

    The Olympic Mountains, the lake...and you also have a sort of "rain forest" in the city...this is just the sample of a great state like WASHINGTON!;)

    Hola, great pages! If you want to teach English somewhere, why not come to the Canary Island like me. Its not quite as exotic as Thailand, but still an amazing place to live. Greets from Santa Cruz de Tenerife

    Real men don't use umbrella, just walk thru the rain??? Hmmm, no wonder it's the land of Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Alice in Chains and the likes...
