I'm so glad that so many people are deterred to enjoying nature due to the rain. It's usually just a light drizzle. Just put on a rain jacket, it's not a big deal.

[@jenninexus]

The drizzly rain is my favorite aspect! So/Nor CA import speaking here 😀

[@bluefungi]

Crime, drugs, income and inequality, traffic, housing prices, weather, rude & cold people. Easy this place sucks in every way possible. Its a no brainer here. Anyone who's been to Seattle for at least 20 minutes can see its crappy place.

[@Latte-girly90]

That’s every major city. Seattle doesn’t make the top 10 most dangerous cities in the US, it’s #21. that’s not bad depending where you’re coming from

[@aisle_of_view]

The rain is light but relentless - every day from November through March. Folks in the PNW don't even take their umbrellas, everyone just wears nylon hoods and rain gear. Summers are muggy and really warm. The trees are amazing.

[@julietwochholz9755]

We moved from Southern California. We love the moderate climate and we love the rain and the gloom. We also love the incredibly great air quality, the biomass, the large number of outdoor activities. I love the casualness people have towards appearance - most people here are not obsessed with their looks, don't feel naked without makeup, are not all using Botox or getting surgeries - people here accept themselves are are comfortable in their own bodies. While the cost of food is higher here (restaurants) we are saving a ton of money not paying for gasoline, and we are saving a ton of time not being in our cars for hours everyday commuting or just going out for the evening.

I am absolutely miserable here. Moved to Seattle from South Florida two years ago to escape the politics and toxic family. As someone without local roots I have struggled to meet people and build relationships due to the introverted and cold nature of people here. The “Seattle Freeze” is real and terrible and the weather is fickle and tends towards gray, rainy, and bleak. Seatte is the city you move to if you want to be ignored. I am moving out since my exploitative job fired me before I got back from medical leave and there’s no reason to stay in this shithole anymore. Worst place I have ever lived.

[@ErickBooth]

I am not swayed! I watched your videos before accepting a new job in East Side Seattle, loved what I saw, and of course, right before I move there (next week), I see this video... Oh no, right? But after hearing these points, it made no difference for me. The culture, variety of activities, seafood & cuisine, tax (benefit, considering I spend very little), and yes, even the weather are all reasons I feel like I made the right choice, and I'm still very excited for my move.

[@livinginseattle-brycegreenleaf]

Congrats on the move! I’m sure you’ll love the area

[@Latte-girly90]

I think the food options thing comes down to taste. Food in the south is seasoned different. So I wouldn’t be surprised if people saying this are from southern states

[@antoniowoods9583]

The biggest factor that gives me pause about starting a family here is the constant threat of the big one on the horizon. I don’t think (fingers crossed) that i have to worry about it too much in my lifetime, but a child born today might very well have to.

[@photonotavailable7936]

Lived in the greater Seattle area for two years. Liked everything about it a lot including the rain, but not the extended cold weather. Thus, returned to Northern California. Came to the conclusion, Western Washington is a wonderful place to visit in the summer, but not to live permanently. I shall return!

[@thomaspripley]

I lived in Seattle for 15 years then moved to San Francisco 10 years ago. Ain't even close when it comes to food options. Seattle is a food desert compared to SF.

[@misteriknow2069]

SF has more options for food…but I’m not sure if it’s necessarily better as a whole. SF ain’t even all that. It’s got good Chinese food & San Jose has slightly better Vietnamese food & the Mexican food is better in the Bay, but that’s about it. Our Seafood is better. Our Teriyaki/Sushi is better. Our Chowder is better. And our coffee is better. You wanna see a food desert? Go to Sacramento or Boise or Yakima 😂

[@mlew6566]

lol. For real. Every time people rave about some restaurant in Seattle it’s always subpar. Poor naive Seattleites.

[@bluefungi]

I came from Texas and everything here is literal cardboard in taste.

[@DylanBrown-xb5uw]

Denero $$??

[@fbodyrs96]

When do you drive the speed limit here? It's non stop traffic. I agree the food sucks here. I'll be glad when my daughter finishes highschool and I can go back to the south. I'll never complain about Atlanta traffic after living here.

[@dans.9295]

Anyone from California complaining can just go back

[@granthuling3235]

There are two grammatical errors in the first clause of your first sentence.

[@user-jr2pq8bg8r]

Seattle is a cursed city

[@Attlechief]

People are the curse not the place there is good there still 🖤💛☀️

[@user-jr2pq8bg8r]

@@Attlechief no there isn't. I curse Seattle and Tacoma every single day and it seems to be working. God curse the TPD
