I actually like Seattle.
Ā
Itās the most beautiful city Iāve ever been to. We have beaches, forests, the city, and the mountainsāhow many other places can say that?
Ā
I enjoy living in a transplant city. I love making small talk with the new folks in town and getting a fresh perspective on the city through their eyes.Ā
Ā
Pike Place is not overrated. For a ātourist attraction,ā itās pretty awesome. Despite living here my whole life, between the hundreds of shops and booths and the variety of cultures at the market, I always find something Iāve never seen before.
Ā
Seattle has its faults. The winters can be depressing, and almost all of my money goes to rentābut somehow thereās nowhere else I would rather live.
