Review of Seattle, Washington


Its what you expect
Star Rating - 2/24/2016
Yeah it does tend to rain 8 months out of the year while hovering in the 30s and 40s which makes the rain bite into you a bit.

Traffic is very very bad. Rush hour is just a nightmare.

People don't seem to want new friends. They will do everything they can to ignore you short of being hostile, although this is becoming more and more common everywhere these days.

There is a lot to see and do. It is interesting and pretty to look at.

Its a pretty diverse city and proud of it. If you are a liberal minded person you will enjoy it.

Its a safe city, violent and property crime is quite low.

Expensive, not California expensive but still not cheap at all.

In my opinion the thing about Seattle is the scenery outside of the city. Drive 40 miles east to the mountains for some of the most beautiful areas you have ever seen.
