Not so sure about not talking to the cashier, I don’t think I have ever experienced that. The Seattle Freeze is SUPER REAL! We stick to our friend groups and it’s hard to infiltrate our groups. That being said, in Seattle there are so many transplants that I think you’re seeing this change to some degree. December, you gotta get out into the mountains and out of the city! There are a lot of holidays events and things to do though. Just be ready to deal with the grey days. Our weather isn’t extreme but the lack of Sun is what really gets to people. The rain is not nearly as bad as it’s made out to be. Also Seattle is basically a shell of its former glory. The city politics really have messed up a beautiful and safe city. I hope that we are going to see real change but so far the last 10 years has been a downward spiral. The Eastside, Redmond, Bellevue, Kirkland and Issaquah area is how Seattle was before as far as cleanliness and less crime. I love the PNW but there is a big part of me that is ready to leave because of the self inflicted problems that have been created.

Hi Keith! Again another awesome video with some helpful tips, loved it! Thanks for sharing, you are so delightful and inspiring... can't wait for the next one, cheers:)

Thanks for your review of camera technique and the disadvantage of digital over film. Its a real art to compose digital photos that dont need editing. It would be interesting to hear your tips on how to do that. I'm guessing it has something to do with lighting. That film emulation feature sounds interesting. I've had to resort to using Gimp to fix up digital photos, but if there is a better way, and I am sure there is, it would be good to know how to do it.

Omg this hit me like a TRUCK. Exactly a wlw Situationship turned me into being so non chalant and apathetic. You weren't alone at all:))

hi all. I just moved to Seattle 2 weeks ago. I am looking for friends. I have been trying to make friends and it hasn't been easy ;(

Love that you went to Bainbridge! My husbands family is from there so we go almost every weekend to get away from the city and it’s so relaxing. I definitely recommend checking out the towns past Bainbridge like Poulsbo, Port Townsend, and Port Angelos. That side of Washington is sooooo beautiful and will be super cute in the fall☺️

I only discovered my bisexuality at 21. I also went through the insecurity of not having experience. To counter that I hooked up for a month straight. Since then I haven't had any sex now that I don't feel insecure yet

So much as changed for the better, there is a new vibe in this video. Lively as never before! Seattle is really good for you :) Should plan a trip in Canada soon, you will love BC!

Okkk why I'm late for this!!! You speak 1000% for myself 😭😭😭😭😭 I'm now in the dating delay, I'm a baby gay!!! 🥺 Are you on social media so we can follow you???

Hi Keith, I just watched your video and loved it! I moved to Seattle myself last year, so I can totally relate to your experience of moving across the country to chase your dreams. It’s great to see you’re settling in and enjoying the city! If you’re up for exploring Seattle together or just hanging out, I’d love to join you. Let me know if you're interested!

Hi Keith, stumbling upon your channel was a lovely surprise! I'm in the midst of apartment hunting in Seattle myself, and was wondering whether you would recommend the current apartment you moved into as of 6 months ago? Any and all information and experiences you are able to share is extremely appreciated!

Welcome to Seattle! If you ever need a recommendation let me know!

Hey Keith - I'm glad to hear you're doing well and happy! I'm still in la, hanging out with hs friends and family which is really nice. But I'll be moving back to sf in september and was wondering - what did you do differently to make your experience in seattle so much better than in cali? I thought new grad life would be slower-paced and lonelier, but it sounds like you have a lot going on! Was it just the pedestal mindset shift, or did you actively make other changes? If so, what did you do?

An insightful update on your first year in Seattle. As a former Seattle-ite, you captured in a few words the culture of the city, and the darkness that prevails in the long winter months, quickly forgotten in the brief summer months, that end with Bumbershoot. So many wonderful experiences in just 6 months. Its why Seattle is such an unforgettable place. Thank you for sharing the happiness you have found there. I look forward to hearing more of what you discover about life there.

Hi Keith, Thank you for sharing your experience so far! I visited Seattle in April 2023 and ever since then I’ve wanted to go back. Just like you, I’ve always wanted to live in Seattle, hence the first visit. After visiting and coming back home to Florida, I’ve had this feeling inside me like there’s something missing. I honestly feel like I left a piece of my soul in Seattle. I’ve been planning on getting ready to move there, hopefully May2025. And just like you, I find myself doing the same thing of putting Seattle on a pedestal. Like when something happens here in my life right now that I do not like, I’m always like, well I’m not going to be here for much longer. Anyways, I’m glad shared this video and looking forward to seeing more from you.

I’m moving to Seattle literally tomorrow🤭 and been obsessed with watching vlogs like this. Aiming to have that main character energy you’re putting out in this vid :)

I watched a couple of your videos that just happened to catch my eye since I'm planning to move to Seattle in the Fall. Moving from the Bay Area in Cal. Your amazing & I love your content, thank you for letting us all know about Mr. West. I will plan to stop there some day! And I've had my eye on Bainbridge for a bit too, planning to take that tour as well. Look forward to your next video :) Keep enjoying the Emerald City. What's a favorite evening outing to pick from that you could share with us... Cheers Jenn

How much was the studio?

found this cuz im moving to seattle soon & watching move-in vlogs, i love ur vibe!! underrated channel

I love your video! Make more ❤ It was definitely fun to watch!

I am amazed at the honesty, so clearly spoken. Maybe that's why it seems being alone on that special day is uncommon, when it might be a common disappointment? Just a note on that day can be heart warming, and it doesn't take that much effort. I think a lot of people have had that experience, and have kept it inside. Thank you for being so open, so articulate.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this social issue, and for asking how your viewers approach this issue. Like you, I was initially concerned to wear some kind of protection, and I finally settled on a face shield as being more effective and practical due to the side effects of a mask( steaming up my glasses, restricting breathing, not protecting my eyes from exposure to pathogens, etc.). Now that time has gone by and we now have a more realistic assessment of utility of those paper masks (mostly limited to particulates like dust, etc.) it really comes down to good hygiene, a healthy diet, lots of clean fresh air and sunshine. Those disposable paper masks turn out to have no real benefit against nano particles, likely increase risk of infection by forcing you to accumulate toxins and breathe them over and over again, and when the mask is disposed it becomes toxic waste. Ordinary UV radiation from the sun is an effective disinfectant. I like your idea of showering after being in a place that is unhygenic. That probably does a lot of good in staying healthy.

Its wonderful that you chose to treasure these memories for the future in the form of a conversation.

I never thought i can share so many common feeling about such a topic with someone from the us as a person from turkey. I am currently in collage which is like one of the most progressive in my country and everyone looks way more accepted thyself than me. I tried to catch up them in my first year and it was just... not good for me. And i experience so many similar situation that you mentioned in this video(having great dates without any physical connection due to anxiety and thinking you are the problem etc.🤦‍♂️). I really appreciate that you took it. It is the only video so far i felt like it's, i mean feeling like what i feel right now, is OK. And even someone from a country that lgbt people's lives are so different than my country can feel like that. Thank you🙏🏻

A pointless experience imo...just wait 😅

I fully agree with you about the longer dates. If you're looking for something other than just sex or a hookup, dates that last longer tend to be the most memorable and give you a better impression of the person that you're spending that time with. It helps you see if there is a connection or not easier. I do prefer first dates / meetings to be at like coffee shops or something casual. I don't necessarily like the dinner and a movie type of first date / meeting because then you feel obligated to spend a longer period of time with person that you may not click with. That and movies don't really allow you to converse with a person to get to know them that well. The dinner portion may but the movie portion tends to be you sit in silence for about 2 hours with a person. But if you go out for coffee, if you click you can turn that into a dinner or dinner and a movie later that evening if you guys clicked

beautiful video :) thanks for visiting <3

Thanks for your videos, I know the effort needed. Its great that you are willing to share and let others know they are not too different from others. Hope you find a good date, but my recommendations is to have good friends and the date will happen along the way.

A hilarious parody of a business presentation, with a side-splitting documentary on Queso Dip. Most Chili's restaurants serve queso. They have their origin in TX, but they are in every western State. Have you tried Chili's?

Most intimate conversation on dating, sharing feelings that are difficult to put in words. You have a gift for writing and speaking from the heart.

Lovely view of Seattle life. I lived in Ballard when I went to UW, and have many good memories of life there. Thank you for sharing such an intimate portrait of your life in Seattle.

Titanic - me too! I was a girl child about 1977. Did you see the mansion on line the White Star dude abandoned in grief for his family when it went down? Everything about Titanic is gripping. I'd repeatedly draw full sailed sailing ships really well when I was 9 too. The Edmond Fitzgerald gives me a glitch too.

Love the video! Moving to Capitol Hill in June with my boyfriend from Tennessee. Definitely recommend Pegasus Coffee House on Bainbridge Island if you’re looking for a new spot to try out. Also - for bus, ferry, light rail - you can get an ORCA card at the light rail stations and auto-reload it on your phone to have one card for every transit system. It especially makes getting on the ferry a lot quicker!

Looks like a cool place to live.

CHARLIE'S BOOKS MENTIONED

Adorable.

Hi Great video! I know what you mean. When I was your age I wanted (and still do lol) want something serious but in University 90% of the gay guys just wanted casual s*x. I still have issues finding men who want that when I am 38! You are very attractive though so hope you get better mental health or see therapist.

Congrats on your move!! I'm also moving to Seattle as a new grad - what neighborhood did you end up choosing?

dating apps are only meaningful for 2 groups: the top5% Gigachads and women. do you dont belong to one of this groups? stay away. Addendum: ....as a straight guy.

As a 21 yr old who came out 3 months ago… this video clicked on so many levels 🥲

so glad i was recommended this video :)

welcome to seattle! im actually moving back to seattle at the end of this month from school in Oregon. Its a really great city and I don't doubt you will meet some awesome people. don't believe in the seattle freeze it will only harm you from making connections. i came across your 'dating in college being gay' video and it really resonated with me. that being said, theres so much to do in Seattle and the spring/summer will blow you away! godspeed <3

Sorry to be critical, but if you want more subscribers you really need to have better lighting. The old hippy projection colors in the background are bit nauseating. and just don't suit your content. The dim light does not make you look endearing. It makes you look a bit ghoulish.

The way you talk is similar to Mina Le

Imagine adolescence at 33. 😮

Ur so real for this ❤

You have no idea how valuable and meaningful your videos are. You're just so genuine and relatable and sincere and as a young gay guy navigating through college i really must thank u for that. You're the best!!

I feel like every gay guy (myself included) has a situationship that destroys them at 20 years old

Loved the vid. I too will be moving as a new grad, and this is so relatable
