Back in Seattle | Do I miss living in the city?

[@allisonanderson]

Do you live in a big city? What do you like/dislike about it?

[@orozcoaj69]

Love Seattle, been a couple of times. Live in LA, talk about big cities, expensive food and traffic 🥵

[@topherw]

I live just down south in Tacoma... it’s like a tiny seattle lol

[@laurendefrank7380]

I live in Chicago. It is a beautiful city, but I agree with you. It is extremely expensive. Chicago has the highest sales tax in the country, it is crazy high at 10.25%. It has excellent food and sites but actually looking into a slower pace city and a city with better weather year round. Chicago is my hometown, but change is good. Love your video Allison! Cheers 💕

[@rachelhaywood833]

I live in Fort Wayne, the second largest city in Indiana. One thing I've actually learned to love about the Midwest as I've grown up here is getting four seasons in one day. Our city is constantly buzzing, and it's surprisingly entertaining for younger people.

[@lindseysmith5107]

Love Seattle ♥️ I live in Houston and love all the variety in the city. So many great places! Since transitioning to working from home, I’m considering moving to the ‘burbs to save a little money and get a change of scenery since commuting is no longer a major consideration. P.S. your ‘mouse’ comment made me lol... that’s so me 🐭’s or 🐭 🐭 🧐

[@natatatt]

I know Seattle (and my city, Vancouver) get a bad rep sometimes for being so rainy in the cooler months, but I love the green, misty look of Pacific Northwest winters.

[@MyFocusVaries]

And as I tell my siblings, who live in central BC, we don't have to shovel rain!

[@AshishDavidOfficial]

You bring in life, and the vibes of the places to your videos every time! Fan from India since your Alaska video. Cheers!

[@starrypunk20]

I would love to see more like this! I may never see Seattle in real life but would love to see through your eyes in your amazing videography 💛💛

[@topherw]

Love how you showed off how beautiful Seattle is even in the winter... people think it’s so crappy and rainy here. Hopefully you visit Tacoma sometime!

[@elizabeththecity9674]

I’m from Seattle and just moved to New York! I used to take the ferry to Bainbridge island all the time and it’s so beautiful. So cool to see someone else from Seattle :)

[@Courtney6]

Love this. I grew up there and I’m in San Diego now. I miss the puget sound so much. So many great memories on and around it. 🤍

[@LovaLova808]

I named my dog Puget💙. He was a pug. I got him shortly after my brother died who worked at the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard in Bremerton. 10 yrs later, after Puget died, I took my first trip back to Seattle. I stayed at The Edgewater, I booked a room on the first floor with a balcony over the water. I wanted to be as close as possible to Puget Sound. I sat on that balcony for hours everyday, taking in all the salty air. I also took the ferry to Bremerton and visited the Navy museum. There is something eerily beautiful about that Sound. It still has my heart.🖤

[@EricaUrr]

As somebody who just visited over Thanksgiving break, I am having MAJOR SEATTLE FOMO! I miss it already 😔

[@bamapdub]

Loved this video. Reminded me of my trip to Seattle 2 years ago. It was my first time on a plane and I was super nervous, but the city was such a treat overall. Parking, like you say, is HORRIBLE and the meter/payment system is a pain in the a**. Thankfully, Pike Place Market, the Sound, cute little places with live music, and Piroshky Piroshky made the trip worth it!

[@TravelTourTaste]

Hello Allison we hope all is well . We love seeing places from all over the world as we are a travel channel . thank you for sharing this wonderful city with us . Take care Stay safe Love and Light Sarah and Glenn

[@BakerMadness]

Loved it! I got all in my feels when you were on the island talking about $15 sandwiches , but the mist and the view and the PNW-ness of it all. I actually said "Fifteen Dollars" right before you did! 😁 Thanks for showing off the good stuff :)

[@MrThend]

I miss living in Seattle so much

[@hollykarra]

Great coffee and chocolate chip banana bread. Yes, we can absolutely agree on that!

[@happycanayjian1582]

We loved our time in Seattle. We’d pack up and move our family there in a heartbeat. Also, it would help if it wasn’t so expensive. 😁

[@livinginseattle206]

I love Seattle. This video is a great tour for people who wants to visit Seattle. Kudos!

[@allthehui]

omg umi has the BEST sushi happy hour!!!!

[@Caroline1ie]

Seattle is one of my top bucket list cities! Looks beautiful! xxx

[@richauntylex]

Los Angeles born and raised in the center of the city (West Adams/Midcity). But currently living in the desert. I definitely miss all of the conveniences that the city offers..like if i want a pastrami sandwich at 2am I can totally make it happen. Entirely do not miss the parking situation or traffic. Its like a bad joke.."you know youre from LA when" someone invites you out and your decision on going is entirely based on the parking situation. Would love to visit Seattle one day!

[@shannonpflueger8608]

If you ever make your way back to Vancouver, please also check out Gibsons and the Sunshine Coast!! It sounds similar to Bainbridge and I think you'd really enjoy!

And im thinking I need a logitech mouse now. Also your tech gift guide was amazing btw

[@Hanaabc]

I love Seattle! ❤️

[@AJK0119]

Unrelated to this video, but you should do a video on "gift guides" or how to handle holidays for people who want to be more minimalist. I'm really picky about the "things" I'm buying right now, but it's no fun for friends and family if I just send links. I want to let them have fun and pick things out for me, but I really don't want more things I don't need! Thanks!!

[@youknowwithMartyKauffman]

You can’t go wrong living in the PNW

Don’t ask me why, but the brief detour to Google the plural of computer mouse cracked me up 😅

[@bluecrystals2398]

I live there so cool every thing you showed me I saw before

[@Timanator]

Just 1advice to your Seattle tour, I loved the fish ladder when I lived there. :)

[@lorrainecalvert4635]

So many questions, is that your office or is it like a WeWork situation? Do you still have your apartment? I may have missed a video? I admire you so much for your solo travel, but often find myself wondering about your husband. Where is he? What's he doing, working? Sorry for all the questions, but inquiring minds want to know. ♥️

[@rachelhaywood833]

You just missed youtubers Kara and Nate by a few days! They might still be in the area but I think you three could do a cool collab video! You both have similar cinematic vlog styles.

[@SamElle]

people rave about seattle coffee all the time and I just dont know how good coffee can get... call me a skeptic HAHAH

Greetings from Sweden. I have plans visit Seattle next year 3-4 days how much can a budget be on thoose days (includes visit Space Needle and tour to national park) ??? /Anibal :)

[@rrentertainmentstudio8582]

Super i love this video from India 👍

[@mariazak37]

love love love ♥ the city I wish and hope to visit one day....probably the first one after this crazy pandemic will be over!!!! I live near Rome, Italy in a small city on the lake, it is not far from Rome where I work in a travel agency in the city center near Pantheon and Trevi's fountain (sad time for us....) I love the views, the architecture, the historical and beautiful buildings but not the traffic....however I use a scooter instead of the car, the best solution ever!!!!!

[@max420thc]

I love Italy, I wish I could visit. I would never live there though. For many reasons. Some of the little towns would be awesome but the taxes and expense is outrageous, everything in the US as far as shopping is only about the third the price of Italy. 1.90 a gallon for gas(3.8 liters) Or 45 -50 cents a liter. Just a example. Pair of Tommy Hilfiger jeans, 30 dollars, Italy 100 dollars. Just a couple of examples.

[@mariazak37]

@@max420thc correct, exactly the taxes are scandalous for not having exactly all the perfectly functioning services like a nation belonging to the g20 should have! however we have a very precious thing that is worth part of the taxes: good public health, unlike in the US. On both sides, much, much more could be done and I hope that we will be able to perfect ourselves for a better life accessible to all!

[@max420thc]

Government is not the solution. It is the problem. I am currently in a 2nd world country, former Soviet country. The same system the leftists seem to want in the US, I am here for the healthcare because of government interference and government monopolies in the US it has driven our healthcare system that has become more of a money system and has nothing to do with healthcare to be too expensive to afford. I get frustrated hearing people talk about socialism and communism like it is some sort of great thing. Socialism is the economic system of communism, much the same as capitalism is the economic system of free people, The ultimate evil, the ultimate lie , the ultimate corruption is socialism/ communism. It never works out like the sales pitch believe me. Capitalism with all of its flaws is still better than any system in the world and America is trying to lose that. Communist all seem to think if the government gives you something it is free. No, in order to give you something they must first take it from someone else. This is why the west coast is collapsing. In the country I am in, like many I have been in there is a handful of extremely wealthy people and everyone else is poor and lives on around 5 dollars a day. If you need open heart surgery the free surgery is still going to cost you 3000 dollars, much less than the 100000 in the US but still completely out of reach for the average person here. Thanks to their socialized medicine. The average life expectancy is around 54 for a man and not much longer for most women, you see very few older people here. The stress of living a life without hope, without money or knowing where you will get your next meal from takes it toll on these poor people. I see the same policies in the democrat party that has corrupted and destroyed these people here. Same as Venezuela. They are collapsing and destroying these small businesses on purpose. The game they are playing is nothing new in the world at all. What they fail to understand is how mad people are right now and communists have never tried what they are trying in a place like the US with 400 million guns. This is not going to end well for anyone. But do remember who caused it and where it is coming from. We like to call it the deep state, or corrupt government. No matter who’s elected the government is on auto self destruct. It’s only a matter of time now. The people who feed the poor, you may or may not believe this are the small businesses who are mostly republicans ,conservatives, they supply the bulk of the food to the food banks, the other entity that provides much of the food to the poor are also conservative republicans church goers. Each of these church’s every Sunday collects food for the poor. Both of these entities have been bankrupted by the communists while they dine and eat at the fanciest restaurants while starving their populations while they laugh about it. None of it is accident. These same people control the media and everything you see and hear controlling your thought and your information. It’s all a lie. Because these communists, they are not democrats have destroyed these businesses and churches they will have left the poor no alternative but to start becoming more and more violent. You see that guy at church who is a nice guy? He normally elserved in your military, he has killed people for his country and suffered much for his country. When he comes home he just wants left alone mostly and to go about his life. Well your not leaving them alone. He will have no choice soon but to pick up his gun again.

As someone who lives in Seattle I wonder if you are proud of making this content. It is literally just an ad for a mouse but is total clickbait for people who want to visit our city. The only Seattle specific content you provided is cherry st coffee and wsdot ferry recommendations. I typically like your content but using our city to sell mice and not going into depth of even a handful of the many small businesses or local businesses here that are amazing is just whoring out our city. This is an ad masked as a travel vlog. Shameful

We lasted two years and came back to the Bay Area. miss so much about Seattle but... it’s sunny in November here so i’m happy to be home 😝

I do love the rainy, windy beaches and miss the coffee. There is truly no place like home. Enjoy your time. I will subscribe so I can keep up with you.

I couldn't agree more on what she feels about Seattle. I am from Canton, China, and I have been living in Seattle for 6 years. I just love here. Every time I drove back from Portland or came down from North, when I see the City of Seattle, I feel like I am back at home. This city is just amazing amazing amazing. Love it and want to live here forever.

[@AshleyLoraAnderson]

I'm from Bainbridge Island! Its so weird seeing it in all this fancy cinematography when its just the streets I used to walk through everyday. Pro tip about the ferry: in the summer the view is best if you go upstairs (ps not to self promote but I do make lots of videos about living in Washington if you want to see them)

[@vegahw]

I’m glad you shared your channel. I’m thinking of moving to Washington from LA, but not sure if I’m brave enough.

My last vacation was actually flying to Seattle and taking the Amtrak train to and from Vancouver (in February). The flights were super cheap so it was kind of a last-minute decision and ended up being the last bit of "normal" life before everything changed. We stayed in both Belltown and Pioneer Square and it was so much fun! But it's sad to see that a bunch of the restaurants and places we visited are permanently closed. I had wanted to go to the Cinerama and it was being renovated at the time...who knows if/when it will reopen, ugh. I'm from Chicago so Seattle actually feels cozier than a "big city" to me, but it's all relative :)

I live in NYC and love all the food options, variety of people and cultures, walking in the city, central park, and much more but I have decided to leave next year to pursue a new career and part of that reason is also that the I want to live somewhere with way less people, less noise, more nature, more peace, just somewhere calmer and nyc is not exactly calm. Also living expenses here are something else lol..it will however always have a place in my heart
