Agree with you PW72...the West Coast cities in general are a bit less frenetic than East Coast cities, though Seattle is considered fast paced by our standards in general. I think forumers are discounting how urban this city really is....the economic hub of the Northwest.

Seattle is not very "urban" at all when compared to Philly. Maybe compared to Portland, or even San Diego, but not Philly. I think SF is a lot more urban also, along with LA.
Seattle has way too many sleepy city neighborhoods. I like Seattle, but it's natural beauty is what I like about it, not it's urban feeling.
Of course it has a great downtown, skyline, and that feels urban. Just not too many neighborhoods outside of it.

Seattle has a uniquely startling contrast.By east coast standards its not even a clash of city/suburbs, but more like urbanity meets remote vacation hideaway. Cool city.
also to add why i wouldn't live there, despite anything they have...
"Seattle averages only 58 clear (sunny) days a year, with most of those days occurring between June and September"
The 58 days of sunshine number are blatant BS. Those are days without a cloud in the sky. There are plenty of sunny days that start out as cloudly. Especially in spring and fall.

Very true...in fact the past year has seen many more sunny days than cloudy. Not necessarily CLEAR, but sunny. Winter months can be overwhelmingly cloudy, but temperatures are moderate which I prefer - bitter cold is much worse in my opinion, and I grew up in Northern Idaho which does get very cold.
uh huh sure seattle isn't dreary and cloudy, and minneapolis is not that cold, and florida is not that hot and humid...
I already posted the noaa maps earlier in the thread, do you care to dispute the amount of sunlight there? its pretty much lowest in the u.s. for a major metro and most days of precipitation
Yeah, as actual residents we would like to dispute it. You're missing the fact that they are considering sunny days those days which are practically cloudless. We're not saying that's the case- what we are saying is that there is a hell of a lot more days with sun in Seattle than 58. If you don't like that, sorry. Keep living in your Californian ignorance buddy. Maybe your stats will keep like minded people out of our city and down in the sunbelt embracing melanoma.
