Good to know....
What to do in Seattle this weekend?
- Thread starter Da Peach
- Start date
You're one of those people who think anything south of the ship canal is a crappy neighborhood, aren't you.
Most of that whole area is not my cup of tea. Kinda of why I moved away again. The riding is great. But there nowhere in the seattle area that I would want to set up shop for good.
Queen Anne? Wallingford?
Giving your spouse money to perform sex acts on a group of strangers in public? Is that a PNW thing?
that killed me lmao !
Too crowded. Queen anne was the first place I lived. And it's great with no kids. But it's packed in pretty tight........and ludicrously expensive....
Fair enough. I share your ambivalence about Seattle--some really nice things about it but enough to justify the traffic and price? It's no Bay Area but when Portland is so much cheaper and outwardly similar if not weirder/truer to the PNW "roots", whatever that means...
Yep. You don't get what you pay for. I look at what I paid for my house, and what it got me vs what I would get there. It's a nice enough place to visit.....or live for say 6 years as a single guy (or a DINK couple). But it's not where I wanted my kids to grow up.
You know what's weird? I've been back here longer than I was living out there. And it felt like I was there forever. (Insert skookum's wise-ass remark here)

Well we're back. We didn't actually wind up doing much we had planned on doing. Just had a good chilled out weekend. Did a ton of shopping and lots of eating.
Crab is good.
Oh, and Serious Pie was an excellent suggestion. The sweet fennel sausage pizza is awesome.

See? I told you seattle sucked.
It's a pretty cool city. Not that I'm an architecture buff, but some of the buildings are really neat.
The riding is sure a lot closer in Vancouver though..
A coworker gave me one of these from Seattle yesterday.
Not as hot as I expected, but some damn good chocolate!
