Perception vs. Reality: Seattle for the wrong reasons - July 14, 2007

Thought I'd try to post something for the benefit of those who're thinking about moving to Seattle, are visiting this site, and may not believe all of the basic Seattle sucks posts. Here are some things to consider if you fall into that category -- or maybe you're already here and have buyers' remorse over the move. I see two basic groups of transplants: Involuntary transplants: Corporate moves, military, born here, etc Voluntary transplants: self explanatory: for whatever reason, you...

BiPolar Monday at Pike Place - July 11, 2007

Today was another typical ride home on the bus. At 3rd and Pike we picked up all of my friends at the needle clinic who need to ride 3 blocks to the next stop. A fight ensued on the bus between "Crack Chick"" and "Meth Boy". The bus driver did not stop and demand for them to get off the bus but instead said "this is a nice bus...everyone be nice".

How to find out that Seattle SUCKS. - July 6, 2007

These are the things that I have gathered to find out How Seattle Sucks. You be the Judge: 1. Try ordering an Americano in any Starbucks when you are in a hurry. ( it will Literally take all day). 2. Try driving Speed limit and you will find yourself STUCK 10 miles less than the limit due to the SLOW driving of the rest. (Most of them brake incessantly every 20 seconds for NO REASON).

Portland kicks Seattle's ass! - July 4, 2007

There was a time when Seattle was actually a decent town but unfortunately all of that went out the door. Fortunately, there is one Northwest town that has gotten it right so far. Portland, Oregon. I just went for a visit a few days ago and here's what I have to say about Portland.

I hate Seattle and the UW - July 2, 2007

I hate Seattle and the University of Washington. I lived there between August 2002 and May 2003 while attending the University of Washington. Ah! It was the worst year of my life. Seattle is a lifeless, dreary shithole, and the University of Washington is full of the most anti-social and despicable people I have ever encountered.

My work on a political campaign in Seattle - July 1, 2007

I worked for an initiativereferendum campaign some time ago. I had moved out from the East Coast for the job. What I've read on this board does sound oddly famliar. I guess I did experience some serious passive aggressive behavior in the course of my employment. I just never really thought much about it until I stumbled onto this site.
