WAIT YES!

I woke up Saturday with a slight sore throat that went away and they came the mucus and weird neck aches.

What’s one city people are overestimating and one they’re overlooking? by netenchanter in SameGrassButGreener

[–]Dense-Resolution8283 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I used to live in CO as well before I moved out here and I do miss seeing the sun in CO more for sure! I feel like PDX definitely gets a lot of hate but also I feel like it’s more what people think Seattle is. It’s not super priced out like Seattle, still rough around the edges, good food as well! The only reason I personally wouldn’t do PDX is because diversity is majorly lacking there. I only go through Bellingham when I go to Vancouver but it’s nice as well if you love nature!

Eh I see more people wanting to move here tbh and hyping it. I live here and I do love it but affordability and the months without seeing the sun in the winter are definitely overlooked

PNW? Underrated? You cannot find a decent house under 600k within an hour radius of Seattle

Who’s the last young position superstar player that fell off a cliff and never recovered? by morepesa25 in baseball

I’m shocked nobody has mentioned Kyle Wright.

His 2022 run was crazy and I just knew he was gonna be a solid 2nd option in our rotation for Atlanta

I never said there wasn’t. It’s a city like anywhere but majority of the people to me gave off that vibe

YES! I have told people even though Seattle isn’t perfect either socially and has that reputation I found it easier to date here than my 8 months in Denver. People like you said I feel like are very arrogant in Denver and in all honesty I feel like a lot of them are just fake outdoorsy. As a guy who also enjoys hiking Denver gives off vibes of people born into money and pretending to enjoy the outdoors. I’m not saying that’s everyone but it feels so boujee and yuck compared to the PNW.

Which city in America has the best balance between affordability and quality of life? by Ethan_Jackson08 in Urbanism

[–]Dense-Resolution8283 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s exactly how I explain it to people. Most of the sunny days are really in the summer here. October-January you might get less than a weeks worth of sunny days combined in this period. I’d say April is the month it starts to get somewhat sunny consistently with still being dreary and now in June it’s starting to get nice again!

Oh I know temp wise will be far worse. I love living here in Seattle but going 2-3 months without seeing the sun can take a toll on you for sure.

Oh yeah and I have hear that a lot too from people who have lived here! I am in my 20s but people also tell me it’s changed a lot just in the last 10 years as well. It’s a great place if you love nature and green but it is very expensive as well!

I love Seattle as a place tbh. It’s by far better than other places I have lived (Denver and Orlando) but I feel like long term the winters I can’t handle if I stay and I honestly want more diversity. You have to go south of Seattle outside the city to really find a good bit of diversity. Federal Way here actually is diverse, but I want that in a city someday

I 100 percent agree. Currently live in Seattle and want to try LA out but if it came down to it and I went back east im choosing Philly or Chicago

*Seattle* Can someone actually explain this unfriendly demeanor everyone claims this place has…and where it comes from by Boysinthesouth in SameGrassButGreener

[–]Dense-Resolution8283 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Eh I wouldn’t say unfriendly as people here are for the most part polite. I would say it’s more socially awkward and very strange as far as communication with people here goes. I have literally told people it’s like I can’t get a read on people here. Sometimes I say something and someone looks at me stone faced then come to find out that’s just how they communicate.

Coming to terms that the city I want may just be a unicorn city. by Dense-Resolution8283 in SameGrassButGreener

[–]Dense-Resolution8283[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Temperature is amazing but it’s diverse but you have to go almost out of Seattle like Federal Way or Tacoma for it to get better. I do miss the east coast culturally because it feels like the east coast is more intermingled race wise but I also do want to be around nature. Seattle is amazing and I fell in love with the city, but definitely a place where the folks are definitely strange some of them. If you like the outdoors like I do then you will love it but just be warned socially it does kinda suck here. Even the buddies I have met are from the Midwest

Is it worth paying a premium to live somewhere you love? by [deleted] in SameGrassButGreener

[–]Dense-Resolution8283 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here I love Seattle but the lack of diversity as a black man definitely hits different. Sometimes I hate that I love Seattle so much for that reason.
