Sure, I agree with that. But it doesn't mean that rain is as big a part of Seattle's identity and culture as the beach, ocean, water sports, etc., are a part of Miami's identity and culture. People don't go to Seattle for its rain. They go for other reasons and the rain just happens to be there much of the time incidentally.
This forum is about comparing cities.
Ok? For the like the third time, I wasn't comparing Seattle to Miami so I don't get why you keep repeating this. I don't care nor was I even talking about why people go to either city so not sure why you're even talking about that.
Lmao, wtf are people doing in the water in any of these cities that people are not doing in LA? Baltimore? Does Baltimore even have a beach? Or NOLA. You can't even swim in the water in Seattle! Stop with this crap nonsense.
You can't swim in Puget Sound (though you can scuba dive in it), but you can certainly swim in our lakes. For a few months when the air isn't too cold. There's probably 50 miles of waterfront on Lake Washington alone (much of that within Seattle city limits), including numerous public parks with beaches.
Baltimore doesn't have a beach, but there air plenty of things to do on and around the water. Mode of transportation, recreation, crabbing, the Inner Harbor, cruises... So, yes, the water is a Baltimore part of Baltimore's culture.
Yea except the vast majority of Baltimore's population is poor, black, and not spending their leisure time crabbing in the bay.
So how is that any different than LA?
The number of people on the LA basin that live with in a 20 minute walk to the nearest beach is larger than the entire city of Baltimore. Let that sink in for a second.

Pulling a race demeaning card and a whole city in a mere forum discussion is waaay overkill and uncalled for. LA needs no defense to mock another city in a chat forum by race. Your ID fits well but a race card is too far.... Baltimore isn't even in the poll.

The sword cuts both ways whether your the provider or consumers of crabs. Baltimore is known for their seafood cuisine specifically the Maryland Crab. LA is not know for a signiture seafood dish. The specific demographic you refer to might not spend there time crabbing in the bay but I can assure you alot of people spend their time enjoying them rather you are white or black. So I find no reason get all political.

I'm not sure about Baltimore but crabbing and shrimping is an industry here, and the crew typically resemble the racial diversity of the area. It's not just for leisure.
Fishing in general doesn't seem to be a big part of LA's economy.
And everyone else is an hour or two in traffic away from the beach LOL.

Like I said, the sole purpose of c-v-c is for comparing cities. That is what we do here.
But anyway, I suspect that you believe that Seattle is the U.S. city most associated with water. You place a lot of importance on rain/drizzle over many other factors for some reason.
In which of the following cities is water (oceans, lakes, gulfs, sounds etc.) most ingrained in its culture?
This can range from cuisine to water sports to boating to scenery to general city atmosphere.... all fair game.
Seems like you took a very coastal view to this question, even though you included lakes in your example but forgot to include rivers. A broader view of this question would have prompted you to include cities like Chicago and Detroit (Great Lakes cities) as well as Minneapolis (extensive large, in-city lakes + the Mississippi River).

Ok, that doesn't mean every single post has to involve a direct comparison of another city. Believe or not you can actually speak about just individual cities in posts on this forum too and people do it all the time.
I never said that or indicated that at all so not sure why you believe that. In fact I already stated what city I feel "wins" this poll and it wasn't Seattle. You seem really confused, I was simply pointing out that Seattle is known for its rainy climate and it's a big part of its identity because you seem to be the only person on this forum, and in general, that was unaware of that. But you again seem to reading way too much into that as you have been this entire time with my posts.
WA: over 15 million passengers, almost 10 million vehicles and 1200.2 Route miles
NY: over 11 million passengers, over 2.5 million vehicles and 259.7 route miles.
Good find. It would be interesting to see a breakdown by metro since a lot of NYC ferry commuting likely comes from New Jersey.
