Lifer in Seattle

4/19/2006
After 52 years living inside the Seattle city limits I have had a chance to experience the ups and downs of Seattle "today". Although our pace is not as frantic as New York City and our skies are not as sullen as those of San Francisco, there are a few things you must know. People are friendly in some neighborhoods, others they are frankly just too busy to be nice. And you can hit a sunny, bright blue sky one day and overcast with a drizzle the next (even in July). We have great parks, wonderful beaches (yeah, Alki!)
and a lot of good places to eat. Salty's for a waterview (expensive) or Alki Crab & Fish with the same view and a lot of change in your pocket. Cafe Flora for vegetarian meal within a sunroom type setting. Vivace on the hill for best coffee!!!
