In regards to Seattle and Vancouver, others see it the way I do. Not the same in many, many aspects. This thread I'm linking starts off with a silly premise on the percentage of bad neighbourhoods in Seattle, but by post #32 the discussion turns towards Vancouver.
I have to agree with HomesinSeattle, that Vancouver is quite different than Seattle
Let's clarify that we are not talking about how different Seattle is from Vancouver but the subject is about being "unique".
Vancouver downtown is a bit different than Seattle downtown but you do get the Northwest feel in both very clearly...they have a lot of things in common.

No you are and Bottie are discussing unique. I never said Vancouver is unique. My stance is that Seattle has very little in common with Vancouver, except weather. The two cities are too different to be considered any kind of twin.

I agree we should not consider them twins because they are very different in some areas (but they do have more in common than just the weather) and even less San Francisco IMHO.

I think Vancouver shares little in common with Seattle except the climate, and with SF except some geography features. They are all very different cities.
Want to find twins? Just look beyond these major cities with some characters and look at the boring suburban ones. They are all twins - a small CBD where nobody lives and vast suburbia with nothing but singe family houses with their garages and trees. Essentially most North American cities are twins.

Similar climate, natural environment, geographical position and cultural heritage are not small potatoes....

Yep, most cities have something that makes them unique vs. any other place, but the suburban areas in general, have the same feel whether it's the US or Canada.

They have similar climate, surroundings, architecture, and vibe. They both have the PNW standoffishness and introversion. Both have huge outdoorsy feel. There are certainly many similarities.
Yes there are differences. Seattle is much bigger, richer and more corporate. Vancouver is much more Asian, condo-oriented and space-constrained. But they're, overall, more alike than different.

Exactly....
