Once a world class city, known for the 1962 Worlds Fair, the Space Needle and the Seattle SuperSonics, it is now a shell of what it once was. With a city government who taxes everything and everyone in the city limits, as well as adds bans to plastic products, meanwhile allowing drugs and crime to run rampant. Seattlites call it “progressive” while the rest of the US looks at Seattle and scratches it’s head. People here try to be “hip” and “cool” when in actuality they are just embarrassing themselves. The “Seattle Freeze” is all too real as well. If you move from another place and are a single individual with no friends in the area, expect your life to stay like that. People don’t move to Seattle for the social scene, they move to Seattle because A) Their jobs brought them
Here, or B) they have lost all hope in anything else and decided to start “fresh” or C) Los Angeles sent them here cause they were homeless and the bus ticket was free. People flock to Seattle, but complain how sucky it is and they do nothing to change their life, they just complain.
So if you can deal all of the aforementioned, PLUS 10 months of clouds and drizzle, homelessness, violence on the streets, possibly getting stabbed in the foot by a used needle and contracting some Blood Bourne Pathogen, being Anti social, and need to drink just to cover the depression all this causes, this is the place for you!

Sam- Hey Tom want to move to Seattle?
Tom- Ha Ha Ha, for what? That’s the most depressing place on earth!

Home of the Seahawks football, Mariners baseball, and Sounders soccer teams, Seattle is a wonderful place to live and sight see. It is home to the famous Space Needle and Pike Place Market. No matter where you go in Seattle, it's going to be memorable.

The Detroit of the West Coast. A horrible gray industrial city with few parks, and even fewer trees. Poorly planned, ugly, cold and filled with aggressive pan-handlers and violent psychotic crack-heads. In this city the poor and broken dominate the downtown, while the rich hide from the crime and poverty by escaping to their own private islands in the bay. The second most depressing city in the United States.
When Curt Cobain committed suicide, it wasn't because of the heroin or that crazy bitch he was married to, he just wanted to escape the hell that is Seattle.

A logging camp in the Pacific Northwest that made some money selling camping gear to idiots fighting for the chance to freeze/starve to death while looking for gold in the Yukon. It then became a logging camp with airplanes and progressed to a logging camp with airplanes and computers. Now it is a logging camp with airplanes, computers, and the biggest collection of snobs, posers, and self righteous assholes of every persuasion ever assembled.
Its residents espouse a particularly aggressive type of unpretentiousness that succeeds in setting new human performance benchmarks for pretension. Almost no one there is from there. All of its adult residents diffused there down a steep identity gradient toward a place where they thought they could find, buy, import, hire, or outsource an identity of their own. By the way, how’s that going for you so far? Maybe a few more Frank Gehry scrap piles masquerading as buildings will help.
Most of their time is occupied by lecturing less fortunate citizens of this country on how much better everything in Seattle is than in any other place on earth. This leads to obsessive comparing of themselves and their utopia to cities with actual histories and cultural identities, such as: New York, Boston, San Francisco, Tacoma, etc. This delusional herd of “enlightened and beautiful” people exult in, not suffer from, a collective, and well founded inferiority complex.
Speaking of being lectured to by these uberwankers, just try and bring up a hobby or interest of yours without having it spelled out for you in a smarmy, condescending tone how the lecturer has pursued that hobby or interest to the most extreme ends humanly possible and how your own pathetic dabbling fails to so much as amuse them. (Try mentioning hiking or some other outdoor activity and watch the fun!)
It also has great scenery, weather (despite what you’ve heard), and coffee, none of which make it worth the effort of trying to live there. (unless you’re filthy rich as are way too many residents)
In our lifetime, a humongous earthquake will shake the entire heap of coffee grounds, bicycles, Frank Gehry buildings, ecofascists and wankers into Puget Sound, an act not unlike the flushing of the toilet of almighty God. I’ll miss the space needle, but not the people in it.

With so many ecofascists, uberwankers, and Eurotrash wannabes, Seattle is America's own private Germany!

Once upon a time there was a band called Nirvana which was the greatest band in the world. Then Kurt Cobain was murdered by an assassin hired by Courtney Love. That bitch will rot in hell.
