P.S. We walked all the way from Lincoln Park to Alki beach a couple of Sundays ago, gorgeous Puget sound waterfront, and in that 7 or 8 miles there was not one single commercial enterprise. Not so much as a popsicle stand. I would have liked a coke--but no--zoning residential only. I think not allowing a (tasteful) mix of housing and convenient retail is a mistake.

Highland Park is the Southeastern part of West Seattle, from the city limits on the South ( Roxbury St?) up about a mile and between around 4th Ave SW and 16th Ave SW.
It's the "ghetto" of West Seattle, but really close to both the 1st Ave S and 16th Ave bridges, and has a huge park (Westcrest), which houses one of Seattle's largest off leash dog areas.

Correction, most of us like sunshine when it isn't threatening to give you heat stroke like it is Phoenix 6 months out of the year. No offense but I don't know what the appeal of Phoenix is, I honestly don't. Completely soulless downtown area, low-wage service based economy, blasting heat for half the year, in the middle of the desert, water rationing, crappy schools, I could go on.

The only appeal Phoenix would have for me would be baseball spring training.

I feel invigorated in the Pacific Northwest and just the opposite in the South West...

I would never choose to live in a climate dependant on Air Conditioning... just me, but that's my take...

The best air and water I've found is in Western WA...

Actually, there is no water rationing. Phoenicians use water freely. While they SHOULD be more careful with their water supply, they don't have to worry the same way Southern Californians do.

True story.

So 15 years ago before I moved to Phoenix I told my doctor I could never live in a place that was 100+ degrees!! So my doctor says to me "have you ever stuck a thermometer in yur bxtt?" Huh? So one weekend, on a slow Saturday night I gave it a shot. Well whadda ya know...98.6 degrees. Called and told her. So she explained to me that 99 or 100 degrees is actually perfect human temperature and we only think that is hot if our brain has frozen and we have gotten all stupid. So fast forward 15 years. I love Phoenix.

So to sum up my highly educational story. Dear Seattle, have you ever stuck a thermometer up...

If what you're saying is true... why is it the media reports of people dying when the power out and the A/C is down in the Southwest?
