Wow, I googled the opposite, from Austin to Seattle. Let me tell you the differences. Summer Seattle rocks with its weather/cool temps. Other than that, Seattle is full of young punks and even older people who are very mean - I truly mean MEAN not just discourteous - compared to the loving natural culture of Texas, especially Austin. In Seattle from Austin, you see the map with all the water ... you'll never see a tad of it unless you buy a big multi-million dollar home on the water. Same as in Austin, but all the water is misleading. Traffic - a jillion times worse in Seattle - yes Austin, I really mean this! There are few freeways, or you have to use ***** boats to get your car from the really nice inexpensive homes to the city. It is a pain. There IS a football team, but the QB is a real jerk. You from Austin will love the weather, this is true if you hate sunshine. I hate sun, so this makes me happy. The business climate hugely SUCKS. It is horrible. Whatever business you are doing, expect times 10 more competitors, Seattle-ites to hate you because you are new, and do not move here unless you can live on your savings for a year or so, plus. Living expenses higher. UGLY UGLY UGLY homes in Seattle, all is ugly here including downtown. It's old, very very very UGLY. Not even close to Austin's beautiful new homes all over the place with limestone rocks and loveliness. No here, very few new any's and all even if new is very UGLY.
The people are the worst. Seattle, get a grip. Lose your attitude. You are losers. Get over yourselves. Texan friends, people in Seattle are the rudest and truly stupidest (what is with their low IQ?) people I have ever met in my life. Enlightened = Austin people. Thugs/stupidity = Seattle people.
Seattle thugs should all be put in a rehab program to learn how the rest of the country -especially Texas - naturally interacts with kindness. It would be a blast of newness for these hard core very mean idiots.
