Yes because of course all of Atlanta is bad right?
You said that, not me....I said I wouldn't move there because the murder rate is 6 times higher than Seattle and I absolutely wouldn't move there because of that....if you're happy with that, good for you.
But didn't you say how much you were glad to get away from DC because there were too many black people there for you, and how you're seen as one of the "good ones" in LA? If that's the case, I'd see why you found Seattle "enjoyable." I've known a few black people who moved there from Atlanta and DC, and both were miserable there and moved back. One specifically cited the feelings of cultural isolation and how overwhelmingly white they felt the city was. They're experiences are anecdotal just like yours, so just because you found it enjoyable doesn't mean others will.
Never said that, but I definitely was tired of DC and ready to move. I never felt cultural isolation in Seattle. I'm black and always will be. That certainly didn't change. I didn't say everybody will enjoy Seattle or any city, but I did.
These look exactly like my neighborhood in Sandy Springs...except with less street parking. And by less I mean non lol. Great pics by the way!
They are both 'green' cities, but in different ways. Seattle's look is mainly due to native firs, maples and cedars. Atlanta's is largely pines, oaks and magnolias. Both are very lush in parks and some suburban areas and retain a lot of green in winter. One difference is their respective summers; one is wet, the other dry. It affects the landscapes. When Spring ends in Seattle, a lot of the green dries up and goes away. Atlanta is just getting started.

Yep that is true, and since our summer/dry season is fairly short, many people, even in wealthy neighborhoods, don't bother watering their lawns since it will be green again in few months. People in east/south have brown lawns in the winter (or so I've heard) and people in the PNW have brown lawns in the summer.
Wow your really stretching the truth . The article said there was 11,000 homeless people in King County which is 2,307 square miles Seattle is only 83 square miles of the 11,000+ lol.

It's honestly hilarious how much crime rate is brought up on this site. Most crime within a city is relegated to poorer areas, and with all the talk by posters about gentrification and urban living, y'all aren't moving to the ghetto. Crime rate really needs to stop being brought up.
