I grew up on the beautiful beaches of SoCal, and moved to Seattle to WORK…..lived there 24 (very LONG years). DO NOT tell locals you’re from California! They hate California, and especially L.A. The “Seattle Freeze” is VERY real!! …..I made 2 friends there in 24 years. 🤷🏼♂️. The beaches up there are TERRIBLE! From Alki to Ocean Shores to Anacortes……COLD water, no waves, terrible sand (but I’m VERY spoiled from SoCal). It’s not the rain that’s the problem, it’s the ENDLESS GREY!! Every year I lived up there it felt like someone was adding a heavy brick in a backpack I was wearing….24 years, 24 bricks. And don’t blink or you’ll miss summer!! The drivers are for the most part polite (especially compared to California, Las Vegas, or Phoenix), but they drive SLOW in the fast lane (WHY?!?!😳), they won’t turn right on red where allowed (they’ll just sit there with their blinker on), and they won’t CREEP into the intersection for a left turn, they stay behind the crosswalk (even though no one can cross, it’s red for pedestrians), therefore no one turns left on the light!!! (Infuriating!! …..again, WHY?!?🤷🏼♂️). I absolutely LOVED Vancouver B.C., visited every summer!! Only a 3 hour drive north, what I always found interesting is I hardly knew anyone who’d EVER go up there!! They’d just stay in Seattle!! Very weird!! Finally I retired early, sold my homes, gained my senses, and MOVED BACK to Malibu…….I kiss the ground every morning I get up now!!! …..Life is short. 🤷🏼♂️🤔😎👌

Summers here are truly stunning! 🏔☀️
what is more expensive , living in NYC or Seatle?
I like some snow but 6 inches a day sometimes for days on end can get annoying lol I still live in Wa
What do u think are of tacomas societal problems?
Too many leftist transplants
endless winter raining is not good.
I live out near Yelm and plan to move ASAP. If we could kick Seattle out of Washington state, it would be a whole lot better.
Why?
Don't do it if you can't tolerate that constant gray drizzle that seeps into your very soul. It's also not the friendliest area of the country. 😞
That's the truth. But I am ok with there being division
