Does anybody else think that Seattle is totally awsome .

What do you guys think is the best about Seattle? ,
For me it would be the space needle and the mountains around it.

It's awesome there. I hardly ever go up though because the only reason I ever go there is to see family. I hope I'll go again during winter break like I did two years ago.

too big.  too much traffic.  too hectic.  too far from mountains.  I go there for sun.


sorry I'm just not a fan.  I like the Bellingham area and also Hood Canal.  but the city is just too much.

so many good things about seattle. whoever is complaining about rain is a tool, as that's the reason everywhere in the area averages over 450 inches a year. and it's Pike Place, sorry for being the spelling police. seahawks are pretty cool too.

in the summer it is delightfully sunny and usually very very dry. strangely enough it is raining now, and will for a couple of days.
and while it is gray and rainy in the winter... well... cool. lots of snow. In general though, western washington has got it all

The best thing in Pike Place-Crepes de France. number 15, nutella and strawberries.

and while seattle is awesome, I'd have to say that Bellingham wins, skiing wise. I mean, Baker. However, I think Bellingham's best for college kids, and i can't go to Western. It's just too close to my parents.

Well guys to be honest i only lived in seattle till i was three, and starbucks always feels so much like seattle when i go in , and i like that ,also i dont buy anything from there apart from the occasional frappuccino, which are kinda pricey in Scotland , so they do kinda suck i guess, also there are some other coffe shops here but , i cant be arsed chekin them ,cos coffe aint ma thang

sorry to post 3 times. i just keep remembering things.

does anybody remember the days of the sonics when they played the bulls in the nba championship with gary peyton and all them.

and when the mariners were the shit with jay burner, edgar martinez, randy johnson, griffey, a rod(before he was a douche yankee), some other people i shouldnt be forgetting.

the library is awesome. its so... ostentatious. probably the coolest in seattle, especially since it just pops up on ya in downtown.



and the mariners were best without all the players that the mariners are really known for (save Ichiro). 2001 was like... the year, except for '95, which was THE year.

seattle is one of my all time favorite cities. i love the skyline, i love pikes place, i love the green tortoise hostel, i love how close it is to 2 killer national parks, love boating on the sound, love the record stores and coffee shops, love the mariners. the list goes on and on. if i had to live in a large-ish city, it would be seattle for sure. great city.

it's super easy. there's tons of well known hitchhiking spots where you can just drop off your car. and instructors are really good about picking up people, as well as locals here in general.

i guess you dont know how good something is until you don't have it anymore.

weather is probably some of the best (a bit gray in the winter, but otherwise its super neutral), traffic sucks anywhere, there is SO much to do (not even funny), and yea.

Evo.

the traffic's not horrid...it's easy to get everywhere. too bad the skiing's bad. nobody come here.
Where I live sucks, same with thepriceisWRONG but the actual city of Seattle is the shit for the reasons peeps listed above and for just the overall vibe. If you want to be fit, have a super laid back city, and have plenty to do, then hit up seattle. if not...well you're missing out.

seattle is a legit city as long as you're not in a car. but once you're on the outer suburbs it sucks finding things to do. you kind of need a lot of money or a real good job so you have time to get out to the mountains or ocean and explore. winter is good tho.
