Great video! I was born in upstate NY, but transplanted to Oregon when I was 3. Stationed at Fort Lewis when I joined the Army, and got every bit of Seattle lingo correct. It helped that I had a very good friend who was a U Dub grad. We went to a number of Huskies/Ducks games together, this back in the 80s when the Huskies usually prevailed. So "the Ave" instantly clicked for me.

The tour of home #3 would have been awesome!

As someone who works with Seattle people this was awesome, thanks deeply!

Yeah there's lots of decent paying work in 'the trades'. And most are driving 1-2 hours into and out of the city each day (2-4hrs commute), because none of them can afford to live in Seattle.. Crime is booming, freeway shootings, drive by shootings, shootings at closing time, drug dealing and using in public, shoplifters galore, homeless, graffiti, crackheads and derelicts riding public transit all day. Relieving themselves in public. People want to 'defund the police'. Go to a bar or restuarant, 8.00 for a beer, 20.00+ for cheeseburger and fries. Everything is special. There's no parking anywhere. 1 million+ for a home. 3000.00 a month for 300 sq ft studio. Everyone is so 'cool'. Rains 9 months a year. Don't come here..

Apacheland against Christians

I’m still trying to figure out what neighborhood is best for me 😭

Don’t plan on going to Seattle, never been to the US so idk why I watched this but it was interesting, love it man!

Pronunciation. Nothing screams newbie like someone stumbling over city names

Seattle is the worst city in the US and WA has the worst drivers. Every non Washingtonian hate WA

The "CD" or Central District. Or the South End or Rainier Beach

I'm from Seattle born and raised and I say U District

Why you telling people to move here guy? This aint an "up and coming" city. You are unknowingly adding more people to the category of, "its possible YOU wont even make the MEDIAN INCOME to live here..." There aint no housing IN the city or neighborhoods from SEATAC all the way to Northgate. WE have MORE overpriced apartments then we do HOUSES. I listen to more people complaining everyday in my neighborhood saying they cant afford to live here and they cant live in this state. So why would you go on KZbin, asking people from other states and to move? You aint no MAYOR! We dont NEED people here to keep Seattle going.

You forgot Costco among the major employers! Consistently rated one of the best places to work. I've worked at their headquarters for 24+ years.

I thought I’d chime in and emphasize that it rains all the time here. And that Mt Rainier is an active volcano. As in “the volcano is out!”

I grew up in the "soufend" and we definitely get called out when we're hanging out in Seattle.

Wait, freeway is lingo out here? 🤔

Oh wait, I just read the description. You are a real estate agent, from Ohio I'm guessing.

It can not be done. The coolness can not be related. The only way to know it is to live it and feel it. There are very few that are from here. I married one of them, 37 years ago.

6:48 What is your deal? I take it back, you're clearly not from LA. You don't have the glam. I'm not sure but I feel like I need to meet you. Are you a Ballard guy thinking you can somehow relate the coolness of Seattle to the rest of the world via KZbin?

You sound like an LA real estate agent selling the "feel" you found up here. It's raining, get your umbrella! Lol!

7:37 It's simply "the market". There's no other one to confuse it with.

If you are actually in the city, on foot and in the area. We usually just say Pike Place, too lazy to add Market.

Seattle sucks. Total sausage fest. If you come already in relationship or married then it's not too bad.

Moved to Seattle in the seventies after college. In the old taverns a draft beer was often called a "Schooner" and my new locally born and raised Seattle friends used to call a 12 pack of beer " a Half rack". I do not hear these terms anymore plus I moved to Eastern Washington over 24 years ago. Seattle also pronounces West Seattle as if it is one word as in "Westseattle". They also say the suburb in the Southend (All Suburbs directly south of Seattle and roughly north of Tacoma), near the airport, very differently than what people in Iowa call their capitol, Des Moines. Old Northwesterners pronounce the S in Des and the ES in Moines. In the old days none of locals ever said just "Boeing". They liked to put an s on the end of it, "Boeings". As an example, you would hear someone say, "Boeings is hiring". The funny thing Eastern Washington people will say is when they are driving over the Cascade Mountains to anywhere in the Puget Sound area they will say "I am going over to the Coast". Aberdeen and Ocean Shores are on the Coast! Seattle is on an inland body of saltwater called the Puget Sound. Again, this is mostly said my older residents and I feel its use is slowly dying out as more and more new people move into the area. There are so many new people who have moved into Washington that I think it is losing some of its local charm. The population has doubled in the 47 years I've lived here. I do think Washinton has an accent. Ask a multiple generation resident who is in the 40-70 age group to say, "Right On!" They say it unlike anywhere else. Fact checking. Mt Rainier (and locals pronounce it "Ray near") even though it is very impressive, it is not the highest mountain in the lower 48 as the host of the video says it is. Mt Whitney in California is the highest and Mt Elbert, Colorado's highest peak is also higher.

Don't mind the debbie-downers. Lots of great reasons to move here. Downsides are similar to other major metropolitan areas.

King county is a disaster

As a brief addendum, the only exit that gets referred to by number is Exit 38 along I90, and that's due to the tons of climbing and hiking right around there.

How about the Lake Union Tram? That’s what they all want us to call it but we know it was originally named the SLUT(South Lake Union Tram) until they realized their mistake and my friends and I still call it that! 😂😂😂

Loved this video except one thing, many people call it cap hill!

As a local that is driven crazy by 90% of daily conversations, it's really simple to fit in, just say the dumbest things possible that make the least sense in any given situation and nobody will be able to tell you just took a contract job at Microsoft.

Dont move here, for your own sake, Don't.

Everyone thinking about moving up here, stay home.

I think you hit most everything, but I think "Cap Hill" is becoming a local slang. I've lived here since my folks moved us out here in the 80's and myself and others that were born here have been calling it Cap Hill for quite a while.

Dude this isn't how to sound like a native. It's how to sound like you're sixty years old. Nobody under 40 says "the mountain is out"

I can always tell if someone was born in the PNW or if they're a transplant by how miserable they are if it starts raining and they dont have an umbrella.

Say anything and you sound like a transplant 🥴

You forgot about 'The Fair' for the Washington State Fair

Don't forget that S at the end of Des MoineS

Mt Whitney is tallest mtn in lower 48 boo

i live here and watched this to test myself lolol, I feel smart now

What person in any city anywhere says exit numbers from a freeway vs street names? I’ve never heard anyone anywhere do that.

Capitol Hill is also our historical gay district (before WWII it was Pioneer Square), and Seattle is one of the most proportionally LGBT cities in the country. Cal Anderson Park is posthumously named after our first publicly out gay State Senator, who was pivotal in securing lgbt civil rights in WA and sadly passed away from HIV complications in 1995. There is also an AIDS memorial at the park’s northern end dedicated to him and other victims of the epidemic.

West Seattle is not called the "peninsula" that was a made up name by someone at the liberal left wing west Seattle blog....West Seattle for ever!

"The Blade" from The Market and 1st up to the Freeway and back down Pine. For the way it looks like a sword blade on the map. Also, Seattle Art Museum is just Sam. Bumbershoot is an umbrella. "Hackey Sack" is Footbag. We play it all the way into our 60s and if you see us doing it at the ferry terminal we wont hate if you jump in the circle. As long as you dont suck.

Also First Hill = Pill Hill because of all the hospitals. Mom said that to a bunch of transplants at the German Club in Olympia and they didn’t even know there was more than Harborview 😂

The street in front of the market is Pike Pl

Rainier is not the tallest peak in the lower 48, it’s the 5th tallest following Whitney in CA and three 14ers in CO

Don’t forget about UPrep, in the U district!

Lived in the Seattle Metropolitan area my whole life, never been to Capitol Hill. I’ve just heard that it’s rly dangerous 😅
