One thing that really struck me about Seattle was the Iconic Skyline. Not only has it grown a ton over the years, but that backdrop from Queen Anne Hill lookin south and seeing Mt. Rainier is just awesome. I’m also quite impressed on how they managed to finally knock down the Alaskan Way Viaduct, which really gave Seattle a bad reputation for seein the Skyline from the Sound. I’m glad that they have a bright future for that area, now that the Viaduct is finally gone. It reminds me of when SF knocked down the Embarcadero.
"I’m also quite impressed on how they managed to finally knock down the Alaskan Way Viaduct". That was an act against the voters in Washington. We voted against tearing the viaduct down and won, but they did it anyway.
Man you should see it now, the new Seattle Waterfront is everything it was hyped up to be. They really turned the worst looking area of Seattle into the best.
One of the best ways to see the skyline is approaching by ferry(another iconic feature of Puget Sound); Downtown runs right up to the waterfront and really looms over you.
grew up in AZ (phoenix, college in flagstaff, mom is from Tucson) and then I moved to Seattle after uni. I feel for you man haha. but AZ does have some beautiful spots, the drive from Sedona to Flagstaff remains my favorite drive ever
What culture? If there is one thing thing that Seattle doesn't have it's culture. City is as characterless and dull as they come, and the people suck too. They have no personality and are the most unfriendly you'll find in this country. Probably has to do with their lack of religion and long history of communist activism.
@@CityGeek if you're going to make a video on a city you're clearly not from, learn to pronounce shit right. it's not "Pike's Place". you transplants stand out like sore thumbs lmao
This is a great video for those who are new to Seattle or haven't been there! One thing to note, however: you have 2 pictures showing a floating bridge. The first one is indeed the SR520 bridge which is the longest floating bridge in the world, but the second one is actually the I-90 bridge to Mercer Island which is a few miles south and is shorter.
My mom is from Seattle, i went to Seattle every other summer since i was 3. I love Seattle. Of course crime & homeless have drastically increased as well as cost of living, but Seattle has always been my home away from home. I also love Gas works Park, one of me favorite places to go, Beacon Hill was my families go to for the park & views. Im not sure if u know but Columbia Center now has an observation center at the top of the building. Breathe taking veiw, as god as Space Needle. I love Seattle.
AIIGHT!!! A 22 yo college student thanks you for the WONDERFUL video!! Although I’m from the South (Georgia-state), my dad, who is from LA Cali, throughout my childhood and youth, he taught me how to act like a person from the Western USA. I am going to pay my visit to Seattle particularly because of the 90s grunge subculture! After I complete my MFA program, apart of moving to LA bc of film and animation studios (since that’s my focus), I am going to ALSO have my second home in Seattle!
Lived in Seattle for two years (2009-2011) when the kids were very young, and absolutely loved it. Moved when a job opportunity too good to pass up came along, but I still miss it so much and have a strong feeling that had that same job showed up for me in Seattle, we'd still be there.
Seattle is one of America’s best. It’s got issues with homelessness right now, but I don’t think that should detract from the fact that it’s one of the few cities truly committed to good urbanist practices. The city is very dynamic and growing and growing.
@@guinessbeer- Yeah, not great but nowhere else to put it really. The geography that makes the city beautiful and unique also constrains option for growth.
One of my favorite cities in the U.S. You just can't help but feel sad for the potential that Seattle has to be the even more great. Rampant homelessness and drugs remains a major scar on the streets. As well as sky high rent and home prices. Nonetheless Seattle will always have a piece of my heart. PNW
Lived in Kent for a couple of months but spent most of my time in Seattle. I’m from Florida and loved it there and plan on moving for good. Great video
Great video, @CityGeek! I've been living here a few years and still learned a lot interesting facts from this. Space Needle no longer has the SkyCity restaurant but it did recently reopen that space with a lounge (Loupe?) with much the same rotating-eatery gimmick but seemingly targeting a happy hour crowd, drinks as opposed to multi-course meal.
@CityGeek- Besides replacing the formal restaurant, the Space Needle did a major renovation and put in all-glass floors where you can see from the top all the way to the ground through the floor.
The amount of bums and druggies would shock you. Most of tue nice places are over run with them. The nicest mall in Seattle would be standing room only on a Friday night 2008. Now it’s dead. They have had far left leadership for decades.
I don't know why Americans are obsessed with skycrapers tbh, they do nothing for me. Boring buildings all around. The glass museum is more interesting,
@@xgaming3344 the let homeless do whatever they want and say they need more funding despite spending 100k+ per homeless person. They have council members who say police emphasizing high crime areas is racist. Sounds far left to me, maybe not as far left as your fantasies.
I lived there in the eighties for a few years, but had to leave and escape the grey..Its fine for a weekend in August, fun to ride the ferry, and of course its a jump off port for the San Juan Islands and even Alaska.
seattle *could* be sooooo fucking amazing. We're a few policy choices short. In 15 years I'm optimistic it'll hit its stride again. But currently we're catering way too much to the rich, to business councils, to suburban interests, and to corporations at the expense of people who actually live here. That's not what Seattle is supposed to be. I hate that we're becoming exclusionary. I wish anyone who wanted to live in Seattle could be able to, I love this place. A lot of people love this place too, and for that reason I think we'll start making the right transit, infrastructure, and housing decisions we need to make what should be a world-class city actually reach that mark
@@tobertitus ya unfortunately I’m moving this city makes me want to vomit, the people the culture the atmosphere, don’t get me wrong there are beautiful places and amazing people here, but the majority is absolutely appalling. I wouldn’t come back if I was paid.
just found your channel and I love the city overviews! this is a format I've looked for before when traveling to new cities and I haven't found any as informative as yours. keep it up 💯
Nice work. Beaitiful from a distance, but just too gritty up close. Also, Boeing moved its hq years ago to Chicago and moved them again recently to Arlington, VA.
I visit in this video of seatto...may be I can't go and visit seatto in my life. . but thanks to you ..... A dream.... This is a dream ... I open my eyes .... 😅😅😅😅
I love my birth city. My father and grandfather were also born in Seattle. My great grandfather traveled from Long Island New York in the late 1800's to Seattle and was a Baptist Minister. It truely is the city of my heart.❤️
My daughter emigrated to Washington State 6 years ago and I finally got to visit her last year as she lives about half an hour from Seattle. I fell in love with the place. It is so amazing I didnt want to leave but had to come back to England. Am trying to arrange a visit next year xx
@@miaella5013 She loves it. Gets a bit home sick but shes got her husband and his family for support and i go out once every 2 years. She went out there for a few months first to see if she liked it and then there was no stopping her
I visited Seattle just over 11 years ago when i was 13 and it has been the best vacation i have ever had, highly recommended to visit and i also live in seattle now because i fell in love with the city after my visit, it has to be the best city in the country (although NYC was also good) but there are definatley draw backs to living here, such as its expensive and most of the problems facing major american cities but in my opionon it is worth also to end this rant i want to say lumen field is also home to my favourite sports team in seattle the seattle sounders which is a soccer or football team
I went back to Washington last year and its way to overcrowded now, Seattle is basically turning into the new SF in terms of homelessness. It was never like that when I grew up there, very sad whats happened tbh.
Honestly I feel him. Seattle’s Skyline is probably the best in the country for sure. There’s no other skyline that’s gonna give you an urban downtown with an iconic landmark with mountains in the background, water in the forefront and sides with a giant volcano in the distance. On a clear day it can’t be beat. And as a whole it’s pretty safe. Yeah downtown has some drug and homeless issues and Aurora is rough in some parts, but overall it’s probably the safest major city in the US that I can think of. Only city that has Seattle beat in looks is Vancouver BC because the mountains are closer and there’s more density…but that’s Canada lol.
I've heard so many people say that when comparing the beauty of Van and Seattle and I just gotta say, I think on paper Vancouver is more beautiful, if that makes sense... It has a dense urban cityscape with water hugging it and mountains literally right behind it... but just look them up side by side and compare them with your eyes! Seattle's beautiful architecture, the way the buildings rise up onto first hill, even things we might normally consider ugly, like the distance of Mount Rainier, or I-5 winding around the city from the south, they all combine to make something breathtaking. Minus LA, Pheonix and the Texas cities, I've seen every major skyline in North America (I also live in Toronto), and Seattle's can't be beat.
@@damienholland8103 no it’s not a pointless remark I’ve done extensive traveling to many states and Washington, California, and Oregon are the most unbelievable amount of homeless more democratic states you’re going to see it. I’ve also lived in Vegas. It’s nothing nowhere comparison to Seattle and I lived in Seattle for over 50 years so I think I am a good candidate and what I’m saying is pretty accurate so my statement holes I don’t say something less I have my facts straight so unless you’ve lived there I don’t think you know what you’re talking about
As a millenial in my early 30's now and someone who grew up in Seattle (yes, inside the city limits), and has lived in the city or the surrounding metro for all but 4 years of my life... I can say without a doubt Seattle has changed a lot and greatly deteriorated just within my lifetime. It was a great town growing up, maybe even the best major city in America to live for awhile... But around 2010 or so it began a downward spiral that coincided with a population boom and now has rampant issues with homelessness, drug use, & crime. Sure, it looks nice from the drone shots. But down at street level it's a whole different story. The city set a new record for murders and overdoses in 2023. Look at the data, the numbers just keep skyrocketing (as does the insane cost of living). There's still a lot of good things going for it but it's definitely not the city I grew up in anymore. At one point I planned on being here my whole life but that outlook changed VERY fast, I now intend to leave again.
Some issues in this video that make me think you definitely didn't live here long: -"Pike's place" 🥴🥴 -"Mt. Ryneer" 🥴🥴 -The space needle no longer has a revolving restaurant since the renovation. Just an expanded observation deck and cafe.
I was born and raised in Miami and when we moved to Washington I fell in love with the west coast. The community, especially when there were games going on, turned my jaded personality around especially because I love baseball and it annoyed me how it seemed the Yankees were FL's team cause people always wore those damn hats. Marlins gave FL 2 (now 3) world series wins and its not until the Marlins became the MIAMI Marlins that people started wearing the old school caps. Folks ride or die with their team out here in Washington, even with chaos ball and hating Dipoto. I'm never going back to FL. I belong here.😆
Yes, I agree..the natural beauty of the harbor and mountains would make any skyline shine. But Seattle “builds” (ha ha) upon this beauty by offering a nice balanced architectural landscape. The skyline just keeps getting better and better each year. I did not realize how large the Seattle skyline had grown in recent years until I watched the opening scenes of TheGood Doctor; a show based on a hospital in Seattle. I thought to myself, “is this some part of New York City? Nope, Seattle! Also, I just love the design of that Space Needle. It is so rare for a tower or observation deck from so long ago to still look trendy and modern! Who was the architect? Worth knowing…so I’ll be looking that up. I loved Seattle the two summers I lived there. However I went back to Texas each time just before the winter clouds and drizzle moved in. I would go back in a heartbeat! You made a Nice video (as always)of this splendid city.
Thanks for the comment, as always!That’s a great point about the Space Needle being one of the rare observation towers to still look modern decades after it was built. It’s such a beautiful building! I’m glad you enjoyed the video!
It's Pike Place Market, no 'S' it doesn't belong to anyone named Pike. Pike Place is the road the market it on (Pike Place being an offshoot of Pike Street).
I visited Seattle in 2022 my main reason for visiting was the Space Needle I wish the weather would have been more clear that day the fog cut the visibility a lot I wouldn't mind returning to Seattle was a great city to visit
You got the bridges wrong. You said "evergreen point floating bridge is the longest floating bridge in the world", but you showed photos of 2 bridges: the evergreen point bridge (520 bridge), and then the I-90 bridge. the I-90 bridge is a couple miles south, and it's the second longest floating bridge in the world.
Seattle’s views are breathtaking, but what really makes it the most beautiful city in the US is the QUANTITY of views. Every city has one great view from a certain spot, but because of Seattle’s location and geography pretty much everywhere you go will be just around the corner from something you could put on a postcard.
in a few years seattle/bellevue will have the worlds first railway laid over a floating bridge (it was supposed to be open this year but the contractor fucked it up so they are gonna have to wait about 2 years until they can open it)
Seattle has a beautiful skyline! Strong corporate city! You always do such a great job with the city overview videos. Thanks for all you do. Id love to see a video on Cleveland at some point!
I watch John Levi channel and others who talk about the "OLD WORLD" people and buildings. I see with new eyes now, The Capitol Building in Madison Wisconsin? INSANE LOOKING. Love this channel, Great Work.♧
Nice overview. I love living here, especially this year since we just experienced six month's of sunshine.
Thank you!
My man really lived in Seattle and is still out here saying "Pike's Place" market.
Three times.
Also “Mount Ryneer”
Came here to say this. I’ve only been here 18 months and that ‘s’ bugged the hell outta me.
Also, he should know there is no longer a restaurant in the Space Needle. Hasn't been one for over 5 years, at least, maybe even 10.
Don't forget, THE Puget Sound. Save the THE for rivers and oceans.
@@mendoza900that's not really true. It's not exactly a restaurant but it's a lounge and serves food and drinks.

I got to live in Seattle in 2020 and watching this video took me back! I went to every single one of those places. I loved living there.
I moved to Seattle from Missouri a few months ago and I love it so much here, the culture is great and the surrounding nature is gorgeous
The thing is though, ANYTHING is an improvement over Missouri.
If you live in middle America, anywhere is better lmao
Hope you love the homeless!

Be alert, too much crime and homeless spread all over. Even if you avoid those somehow, you find pain with horrible traffic and limited parking spots.
Дякую , за цікаве відео!
The restaurant on top of the Space Needle closed years ago.
Loupe Lounge currently open…….rotating floor and all…was closed during Covid but been reopen awhile…
I was born and raised in Miami and when we moved to Washington I fell in love with the west coast. The community, especially when there were games going on, turned my jaded personality around especially because I love baseball and it annoyed me how it seemed the Yankees were FL's team cause people always wore those damn hats. Marlins gave FL 2 (now 3) world series wins and its not until the Marlins became the MIAMI Marlins that people started wearing the old school caps. Folks ride or die with their team out here in Washington, even with chaos ball and hating Dipoto.
I'm never going back to FL. I belong here.😆
I'm Cuban and live in Miami, im planning to move to Seattle for college.
I used to live in the greater Seattle area. I miss this it so much! I plan a trip to Seattle this summer.
Belluve really nice
Nice upload 👍
Thank you!!
Yes, I agree..the natural beauty of the harbor and mountains would make any skyline shine. But Seattle “builds” (ha ha) upon this beauty by offering a nice balanced architectural landscape. The skyline just keeps getting better and better each year. I did not realize how large the Seattle skyline had grown in recent years until I watched the opening scenes of TheGood Doctor; a show based on a hospital in Seattle. I thought to myself, “is this some part of New York City? Nope, Seattle! Also, I just love the design of that Space Needle. It is so rare for a tower or observation deck from so long ago to still look trendy and modern! Who was the architect? Worth knowing…so I’ll be looking that up. I loved Seattle the two summers I lived there. However I went back to Texas each time just before the winter clouds and drizzle moved in. I would go back in a heartbeat! You made a Nice video (as always)of this splendid city.
Thanks for the comment, as always!That’s a great point about the Space Needle being one of the rare observation towers to still look modern decades after it was built. It’s such a beautiful building! I’m glad you enjoyed the video!
Thanks 🙏 for inform 😁 I am planning to move there from Europe
It's Pike Place Market, no 'S' it doesn't belong to anyone named Pike. Pike Place is the road the market it on (Pike Place being an offshoot of Pike Street).

Amazing video
Thank you!
I wouldn’t love to visit Seattle! Had a layover there once, so I saw it from the sky at night!
Can you do the Australian capital cities please? Thank you. ❤
I visited Seattle in 2022 my main reason for visiting was the Space Needle I wish the weather would have been more clear that day the fog cut the visibility a lot I wouldn't mind returning to Seattle was a great city to visit
Thanks
You got the bridges wrong. You said "evergreen point floating bridge is the longest floating bridge in the world", but you showed photos of 2 bridges: the evergreen point bridge (520 bridge), and then the I-90 bridge.
the I-90 bridge is a couple miles south, and it's the second longest floating bridge in the world.
So much blue sky in this video.
Lol dont let it fool you, about 9 months out the year it's overcast and rain
My city!
What are some radio stations that oper8 in Seattle?
How long did you live there how would you compare it to other places California so on the scenic beauty
My god, look how much it’s grown!
My city seattle is the best
I grew up in KC nice job bro
Thank you!
What a fantastic overview of Seattle! For those who've been to Seattle, what was your favorite part of the city to explore?
Thank you!
Not “Pike’s Place”. It’s just simply “Pike Place Market”.
Seattle’s views are breathtaking, but what really makes it the most beautiful city in the US is the QUANTITY of views. Every city has one great view from a certain spot, but because of Seattle’s location and geography pretty much everywhere you go will be just around the corner from something you could put on a postcard.
in a few years seattle/bellevue will have the worlds first railway laid over a floating bridge (it was supposed to be open this year but the contractor fucked it up so they are gonna have to wait about 2 years until they can open it)
I just subscribed
Thank you!!
Seattle has a beautiful skyline! Strong corporate city! You always do such a great job with the city overview videos. Thanks for all you do. Id love to see a video on Cleveland at some point!
Thank you!! And yes I'll definitely make a video on Cleveland at some point 😃
Ah, the Space Needle no longer has a revolving restaurant but does have a glass floor that revolves. ;-)
Pike place market, There is no S on the end of Pike.
I watch John Levi channel and others who talk about the "OLD WORLD" people and buildings.
I see with new eyes now, The Capitol Building in Madison Wisconsin?
INSANE LOOKING.
Love this channel, Great Work.♧
