seattle fucking sucks... don't come here..

but seriously, i love it here. best state in the usa if you ask me. skiing wise, we have the snowiest mountain on earth, so many huge ski areas and plenttyy of backcountry. we also have really pretty campsites and hikes, such as rainier national park really good spots for mountain biking, whitewater kayaking and desolate lakes for cliff jumping, paddleboarding, any outdoor activity you can imagine can basically be done here. the city is big and has alot of hidden gems, with sunny beaches and lively markets. and thats just the mainland. the san juans are one of my favorite places in this state. the culture there is so laid back and people are really friendly. there are no cities or towns in the islands, just harbors where people have settled. definately the place to be if you just wanna chill.

WA fuck yeah.              /documentary

It has every sort of person and every sort of neighborhood, beauty both natural and manmade, access to industry and nature with equal ease, and absolutely beautiful summers. whoever's in the seattle area this summer, let's kick it at the h dock in leschi some day.

Sales tax > income tax

Puget Sound > Willamette River

Mt Rainier > Mt Hood

Seahawks + Mariners + Sounders (cant believe I just said Sounders) > Trailblazers


I could go on and on and on

I live 2 hours north and FUCK Seattle.

When UW, a school in that city starts taking MORE out of state students and SAY, in a newspaper article, it's because they make more money off of out of state students and the only other options in the area are private schools or Evergreen State fuck that city. (I know UW has nothing really to do with Seattle other than it is there but fuck it)

Lol Evergreen. My dad went there for his masters before getting smart and going back to Dartmouth for his PhD. Place is a joke, even to a lot of us liberals in Olympia.

Shut the fuck up man. The fact that a city has a large concentration of people that you politically disagree with is not a valid standard for judging it.

Uh, yes it is.

Why you ask? Well, who do these super libs & hippies vote for? What do those elected people do?

THAT HAS A MAJOR IMPACT ON THE VIABILITY AND NATURE OF THE CITY BITCH

It impacts the city's politics but that is only a small aspect of the city as a whole. What i'm trying to say is that even if you disagree with the politics, there are a lot of other factors that are a lot more important

Well for one, it doesn't impact just the city's politics, but many other attributes that are affected, be it directly or indirectly, by politics.

Also, notice I said "The only thing..." That would imply that the character/intangibles of a city are comprised of many things, not just one element.

Yeah it impacts other aspects the city but can you name one way in which your quality of life would actually decrease because the liberal politics?


Fair enough, I guess I didn't fully consider that modifier in my first response

Just moved from Seattle to Portland... Seattle has way more to offer. The skiing in Oregon sucks vs. WA. The city is shit, its mall and is laid out terrible and the traffic is terrible. The whole river thing sucks to no one wants to look out over a river when you can have the puget sound.

I miss WA.
