After 6 years I am ready to leave Seattle. (title, place)

[tada]

And I suppose here possibly soon having a bike fee is much less ridiculous?

Seems like everyone here on either side of liking or hating Seattle is unable to see why the other side feels the way it does.

I look forward to being around live people again!

So, has the dude left yet?

[41Willys]

He should have. This is an old thread.

Where did he go?
Did he go to Custer, Wash? Certainly it is alot less crowded than Seattle with more scenery, and rural.

Seattle is green, but it's also grey and dark and cloudy. And moist and mossy and moldy. I find the continually dampness hard on my body - like I'm some sort of punching bag for the weather to beat up.

It's all a matter of taste of where you like.

I will say when I moved from SO Cal to Nor cal - I'd go back and think "WOW it's all brown and yucky in So Cal" and then I moved from Nor Cal to Seattle and would visit Sac, and think "WOW it's all brown and yucky in Nor Cal"

SO I can see your point of view on the browness, but I also look UP and think - what is that bright spherical thing? It's been up there for days and weeks and months now! When the sky opens up in california you can see for miles and it's like I can take a deep breath. Allt he low lying clothes in the PNW, make me feel claustrophobic. Caved in.

Now on the people - To me Sac people are like hyper puppy dogs (EVEN IN DEL PASO HEIGHTS?

But both LA and Sac have it's bad, uneducated areas where unfortunately one bad egg makes a passer by think it's an awful place to be.

Redding - okay, mostly rednecks there (sorry Redding), and how did Palmdale get lumped in there?

"Now on the people - To me Sac people are like hyper puppy dogs". EVEN IN DEL PASO HEIGHTS?

What do you think about SF, Oakland, and Richmond?

Looking at something specific like Del Paso Heights when I am generalizing "all of Sacramento" - is like saying the people at White Center represent ALL OF SEATTLE

Please don't split hairs

Beautiful Day in Roseville this afternoon... warm, sunny and blue skies

Had lunch with friends at California Pizza near the Galleria and the place was packed.

Just thought I'd share CityGirl72
