Really enjoyed this one, it's good to see the sun out, lol! Fringe is a very upscale plant store and home decor (candles, etc) I miss that area so much, but the rent (ugh) way too high for my budget. ✌

I searched for “Did downtown Seattle clean up” and got lots of articles describing the volunteer cleanup efforts after the 2020 riots. I searched for “Did downtown Portland clean up” and saw articles from this year about how Portland is still a mess. Looks like Seattle is in better shape. Great video, I’m enjoying seeing Seattle and can’t wait to get there next month!

L.A. person here. The last time I was in Seattle was two years ago in December, just before the pandemic lockdown stuff. I was thinking of going to Seattle again last month, but skipped it. I went to San Francisco instead. Shorter flight, and I still ended up with a cough that lasted on and off for weeks. I caught something on the plane, even though I had three COVID shots and the flu shot. I skimmed through this video, but it looks like I've seen everything you passed by, plus a bunch more. Two years ago I also walked up to the Starbucks Reserve Roastery. We have nothing like that in L.A. Tell Starbucks we need one of those down here. Good video. Maybe I'll visit later this year.

That was a great walk! I love Seattle, thanks for taking me along on your stroll.

For someone who was born and raised in Seattle, walking around downtown now i very depressing and dangerous after dark. It is really sad to see what it has become.

A great tour of the city I once lived in. Know that area well. lived there for almost 20 years, 1996 through 2016, minus a year and a half away when I made an unsuccessful attempt to find work in LA in 2002, was there 6 months, came home and lived almost all of 2003 with my now late mother before moving back to Seattle. Lived on Queen Ann Hill's Uptoan neighborhood, then when I moved away, moved back, this time to Capitol Hill and lived there for 13 years before rents and housing in general was way more than my budget could comfortably sustain for the long haul. I wound up buying a small house in Tacoma, where I grew up near (University Place) so knew the town well and while it's got it's issues, it's nothing like Seattle appears to have experienced in recent years. Glad I live here now. A nice walk on a beautiful, but cold sunny winter morning in the big city.

When I first moved here about 6 yrs ago I had to go to the court house for a license. I'm pretty sure I paid a scammer for a parking space & then had to jump over a huge & I mean enormous pile of fresh human feces in order to get to the building. Downtown Seattle's disgusting. Now we're being hit with an $850 a month rent increase & the folks running the city wonder why they have a homeless problem. People are leaving the city in masses. I'm out of here , would've stayed longer but it's just to expensive & this is coming from someone that isn't just starting out. Idk how young people just getting started are surviving here. I've seen them living in their cars but working full time, that's really messed up. I'm moving back out of here as fast as i can like someone lit my ass on fire.
