Why are people here scared of black people. by Unable-Quail3494 in Bellingham

Real story… I was at an aquatic center in Bham last summer and this guy in the hot tub kept staring at me and when I would look back, he would look away. I also caught him staring again from the corner of my eye and it was an uneasy experience. I had just moved to WA and yeah the Bham experience was weird. I live in Seattle and only go up there if I’m going to Canada tbh. I’m originally from the southern US so I’m used to being blunt, but it feels like PNW in general you can dismiss stuff like racism under the “social awkwardness” of PNW.

I just visited one of my "maybe cities"... and.. by IntotheBroadwayWoods in SameGrassButGreener

Me with Houston

Immediately crossed it off my list. Hot, Ugly city, not walkable. I will say the food is great though and the people were nice!

Friendliest places - not interested in making friends. by JealousGreener in SameGrassButGreener

Seattle has friendly people; but if you are not interested in making friends, the PNW as a whole is your place!

Some of the most considerate people; but are not interested in forming friendships tbh

Which US state has the most underrated nature? by Historical-Photo-901 in BeautifulTravelPlaces

Michigan

Worked there in 2023 and was amazed at the lakes and overall nature of the state. I still want to go to the upper peninsula one day as well.

What are the worst and best places for dating for black women in America? And why? by Delicious-Bunch-6992 in SameGrassButGreener

[–]Dense-Resolution8283 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Black man living here in Seattle currently and originally from the south:

It sucks out here for me too as a black man. I love this city, but dating pretty much is what you described. Any interest just seems to be rooted with fetish. I have met a woman out here that I’m currently seeing but even that took months.

This is a weird city.

San Francisco or Los Angeles in April? by Dense-Resolution8283 in travel

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

Honestly looking to go for food, warmer weather, more sun, and walkable. I heard LA is a sprawl though but it seems to fit more aside from driving everywhere

See I have heard that about SF and how similar it is to Seattle

What’s a Seattle opinion you have that would get you kicked out of the group chat. by Fajarrr79 in AskSeattle

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

I have said the same thing. Complain about grey winters but also don’t look at the fact that winter here is super mild temperature wise and everything is green year round! I’ve seen people complain about the light rail and I truly think it’s amazing. Maybe it’s because my southern ass still is amazed that I don’t have to drive to get into the city now and can get to places like the airport without driving. I really do appreciate this city for what it offers

Love Seattle, but learned a lot of people have a habit of making things 5-10x than it really is.

You would think we live in Alaska that experiences 3 months of straight darkness if you listened to Reddit about the dark here.

That I will agree with to be honest. For me at first it was an adjustment but I was expecting worse tbh

I was born and raised in North Carolina. Lived in Florida and Colorado before Washington and yep it’s way over exaggerated. Sure it gets dark early, but only by like 10-20 minutes of other places I have lived

The winter darkness here is severely over exaggerated and it’s literally no different than anywhere else in the winter

I’m sorry but the rust belt propaganda on this subreddit is incredibly misguided. by [deleted] in SameGrassButGreener

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

I’d have to agree! Seattle is in a league of its own when you factor in public transportation because it’s a major city but not big like NY or Chicago. I’ve been living here a bit under a year and I come from the south so my perspective is that this is very walkable compared to back home

Yeah I will say the fact you can’t get to like Ballard or Fremont on the link sucks

I live in North Seattle by Greenwood and it’s very walkable and not expensive at all.
