Sleepless in Seattle


This might be the rain talking, but this is what I have to say about Seattle so far:
  • Seattle homeless are definitely scarier than New York homeless. This is because around here, everyone kind of dresses like their homeless, so you don't realize that they're really homeless until they are one foot away from you speaking tongues and/or screaming obscenities.
  • Driving isn't terrible in the city; public transportation isn't terrible in the city. Neither are great. 
  • If you're in Seattle proper, it is walkable in theory. Then your socks get wet.
  • Seattle restaurant industry has got nothin' on New York's. You can't get away with bad service there. You never know who you're serving or who they know. You just wouldn't last.
  • Umbrellas and rain boots are dead give aways that you're not from here. If I ever start to dress like I'm from here, take my homeless looking clothes away from me and burn them.
  • Construction is rampant. Cranes are so much a part of the landscape and decorated with holiday lights.
  • They say the PNW has the best summers. I'll re-evaluate my opinion then.
