Boredom has nothing to do with location, everything to do with personality.
I mostly agree with that - I don't get "bored" in Hawaii.
But, I might find myself frustrated if I didn't have the means to enjoy island life - not being able to go scuba diving, boating, concerts, restaurants, having to eat ramen everyday, or not having a car to visit other parts of the island might get to you - I'd also not be thrilled if I didn't have the means to go to the mainland or other parts of the world when I want as that is an important part of my life to experience new things.
Yes, but in Seattle, you can always get in your car and drive somewhere for a little weekend trip. You can't really do that in Hawaii. That's why I wouldn't want to live in Hawaii, or any small island for that matter. I think I would start to feel claustrophobic after the newness and the novelty of living in Hawaii wore off.
You’d have to drive somewhere really far away in order for it to be worth visiting, probably faster and easier to fly from Honolulu to San Diego or LA
All of which are closer to Seattle than Hawaii to the mainland
I was being a little sarcastic, but not too much really. I’ve done all those things quite a few times, skiing at Steven’s Pass, the falls, Whistler snowboarding trips, etc.
HIGHLY recommend - it has a dining car/drinks - wifi - sit back and enjoy the ride - downtown to downtown (at least very near to each)
In all seriousness, you are going to find more things to do in Seattle and the surrounding area than lets say Oahu, a 40x18 mile surrounded by ocean island.
Location: I'm in the living room. That's kind of a weird question to ask.

Mrs. Perfect was bored today so we went to Isaac Hale Beach Park on BI to chill out.
She swam around the boat ramp area, turned down an offer to go boating in a sweet Radon, took a few pics of the warm water tide pool fish, chatted with a couple of her coworkers that were also there, talked to a German lady who knew her father from back in Germany, then she chatted up three Russian dudes who were making a documentary on surfing.
Im a little more adventurous than she is when it comes to snorkeling so I followed the shore line for maybe 1/4 mile, saw like 25 species of reef looking fish id never seen before then i got super tired and had to quit swimming.
When i finally got back to the truck, i stopped to watch the sunset, i was too tired to join her and some locals play their ukuleles in the b-b-q area so i got out my beach chair and took a really serious nap.
But yea, to answer the question, it can get pretty boring around here.
Whenever I feel bored here or "long for the old country" I just stick my hand in the freezer compartment of the fridge for 30 seconds or so, snaps me back to reality right away. I like it here.
Location: not sure, but there's a hell of a lot of water around here!

Thanks for clearing that up. I always thought I was doing part of it wrong. Explains a lot.
Um, I tried that other thing once, but it got stuck... Ouch!
