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.

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.

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

The homeless and criminals love it too.

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.

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.

What city of Washington do you live in?

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.

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.

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

I visited for the first time in '85. Moved to Seattle in '87. Rarely leave. I liken it to America's Copenhagen, while others say Paris. Smartest thing I've ever done is move my butt to Washington.

Would love to visit Seattle someday soon! Maybe, when I break into the tech industry, I could end up working there. Who knows

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.

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.😆

Seattle is really awesome!

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!
