Seattle? A cultural hotspot? Well, we have a lively Jazz scene, and there are always Ska and Grunge bands and such crawling around. Pike Place Market. Best microbreweries in the country, Seattle's Best Coffee(I actually grew up on the island where they have their roasting facilites. Back in the 80s it was callet Stewart Brothers Coffee. Then they got sued by some other company called "Stewart Brothers" and changed their name. Bet that other company wishes it had changed its name instead), a fantastic childrens' theater. The mountains are about 1-1.5hrs away. Traffic sucks. Parking sucks. Public Transportation sucks. Athens has better public transportation than Seattle. So I guess it could be a cultural hotspot, but only a hotspot for Seattle culture. If that made any sense.

PS, if you visit, stay away from Tacoma.

Or Bellview...

hmmm? well i do plan to move to seattle but thats in about 3 or 4 years, depending on money and availability of software jobs. still, i plan to roadtrip around the states anyway so whoknows whats gonna happen.

If you go to Seattle, try to get a job at Valve or something, that way you can leak all the details of HL3 and HL4 to us. I want to go to Seattle. It has software jobs and good weather

Who told you it has good weather? Sure, it's 90+ degrees right now, but that's unusual in the extreme. It's usually overcast and drizzly. A few years ago we had over 100 days of consecutive overcast skies. And a town just across the puget sound has the record for snowfall in America. Seatle weather is nasty, nasty stuff, my friend. Don't let our "Emerald City" propaganda fool you.

Here's a little fact about me: I love cloudy and rainy days. I hate sun and heat to the very foundations of my soul. Seattle is where I belong. 100+ consecutive days of overcast skies + run is like 100+ days in heaven. I can just go to the beach or something once a month so that I'm not totally white... Like I am now...

Huh... I didn't know Valve was here in seattle... I guess I am a little slow in the news.

I wish that it snowed more here in the winter though. I live in the convergence zone so I get weird weather and not a lot of snow. But it was cool a while back, we got like 3ft of snow and the Edmonds Marrina collapsed! Well that wasn't cool for the people who had their boat in there.

AAAANYYY WAY, not to bad of weather right now, but I will keep my umbrella hand, just in case.

Cynic, u know england, the weather in seatle is not exactly a million miles from it y'know, so the fact that we may get less rain in seattle is a high selling point. but like tach, i like the rain, it reminds me of nam.
