It seems kind of like being in a small town in the middle of a big city. A small town with a beach and cedar forests. Kinda cool.

All true. But even West Seattle, like many other Seattle neighborhoods, has changed a lot in the last five years. It's denser, and there are lots of newer nondescript apartment buildings. What's happened in the last five years or so in many Seattle neighborhoods is a homogenization. Seattle is looking more like Bellevue.

Yah, they put a lot of them up. And there's an enormous one being built at the old Huling Bros site. With the population soaring, we just don't have enough housing, hence the new complexes.

True, and the increased density will make the commute to town more difficult, and may eventually lead even to local gridlock, as well.

But still, the beach and the wonderful parks will always be there.
