I suppose. CalTrans gave up posting road signs pointing to Bolinas because the locals didn't want anybody knowing where it was, so they kept taking the signs down.
WOW, now that's some highly scientific and thorough research you did there.
Facebook? Your sample size is one person? It's settled then, all Seattle-ites are obviously the most humourless, overly PC, unfriendly people ever. Someone call Stephen Hawking, there's a new genius in town.
You hit the nail right on the head.. Seattle is the most frozen, pretentious, unfriendly and PC city in USA.

There is not a specific 'city' to me . but in my experience people from Long Island, The Bronx and parts of Hudson County, NJ are The rudest to me. They think the sun shines around NYC in everything.... Long Islanders are also obsessed with bagels and will make you know it and tell you whatever you have is wrong!
Outside that... Miami is unwelcoming to outsiders... and it seemed their is racial tensions there. Orlando a lot of people did not like to get to know their neighbors... One of my neighbors commitsuicide and noone knew for ~3-4 weeks because noone made an effort to socialize.
Brooklyn NYC, Oswego, NY and all over Greater Boston have been the MOST wlecoming cities, because I have felt the 'at home' feeling in both just from a few visits, let alone living there.
St Louis and Chicago were most unfriendly in my experience. I travel a lot out west, except I haven’t been to Seattle. I find people aren’t really rude, like my experiences in St Louis and Chicago, but people really keep to themselves. I don’t think there is a rudeness engrained in the culture.
That said, most people are friendly everywhere else I have been. The level of outgoingness is highly relative though.
When I moved to Seattle I found them to be the most friendly and the nicest most down to earth people of any place I have ever lived. When I moved in the neighbors brought over cakes pies and homemade bread. Many of us became lifelong friends. I remember I was having a Christmas party and I ran into one of the local news reporters in Nordstrom downtown. I invited her and she showed up with an angel ornament for my tree. She even helped us clean up hours later. People always struck up conversations at the neighborhood coffee house. Seattle people are cool in my book.
The worst to me is and always will be Washington DC. Stuck up, aloof, antisocial. Or if they are social it's about what degree you have, where you live and what you drive. I know we should all take pride on where we live but they're always bragging about how great 'the DMV' (DC, Maryland and Virginia) is and everywhere else is below DC. I'm so glad I left that swamp.
