What is great about Seattle - The view from this apartment is incredible. - Relatives living nearby is awesome. - Working here has been easy. - The country side is beautiful. - Washington is by far the most beautiful state I have ever seen. What isn't great about Seattle - Driving here is a mess. I've seen 9 way stops with no lights. People park in the travel lanes. - Parking is next to impossible, and it is very expensive ($280 a month to park at work). - The cost of living here is easily twice that of Louisville ($1,200 for a one bedroom). - Insane and homeless people are everywhere. Most people ignore them. I think its something in the water. - People yell and fight in the streets. - People are allowed to sleep on the sidewalks. - We never found any fun places to go. We saw no bands. We saw no dance floors. - The buses are overcrowded and are never on time. - My Identity was stolen here. - My truck was been burglarized. - I had to pay for parking at both at my apartment and work. - I see police stopping drivers every day, while homeless people get away with blocking store exits asking for money. - I found that most of the people here are either self absorbed or morally bankrupt. - I had to booby trap my cubical, someone went through my cubical drawers and my personal notes. - Someone else went through my PC, saw my diary, and told everybody what they found. - Someone I never talked too, was spreading terrible lies about me through email. - I'd see people go into my cube when they thought left for a bathroom break. Seattle is, by far, the scariest place I've ever lived. It really creeps me out. I don't think I'll be coming back here. The cities outside of Seattle look great though. I think I'd love to live in Bellevue, Olympia or Redmond, Wa. They had a normal feel to them. |

Chinatown in Seattle is much smaller than the one in San Francisco, but its small selection of shops and restaurants are very charming.
![]() ![]() ![]() I love these little Chinatown shops. I tried some of their Korean ginsing by placing a slice in my mouth and letting it dissolve for about 15 minutes. It really seemed to make me feel good. I bought a baggy of it! ![]() ![]() The girl below was VERY nice. We sat down at a tiny table and shared a pot green tea with her. The ambience was very warm and friendly. ![]() |
