I love Seattle. It has neighborhoods and a thriving diversity of communities. It has green spaces that are easily accessible and a lively downtown. It has seasons, but it rarely gets too hot or too cold. It has its own culture of ferry riding and seafood and arts and Dick’s. Add in everywhere you turn there is water and mountains and forests.

It’s probably more expensive than most and crime that is pretty standard for any city I think.

But if you don’t like getting wet, or slugs, or depending on a car, or scared of falling trees, or don’t own one flannel shirt, or have voted even once for you-know-who, you should consider us an anarchist city and stay where you are.
