Something nice about Seattle- well, as best as I c

I have lived all over Washington state. I have visited just about EVERY town, city, and junction in it as well. I have my favorites- Spokane being my favorite city. And I have my dislikes- I dont like Tacoma. I find Seattle is in the middle. I traveling through there, but as a true Washingtonian, you have to sometimes. Traffic stinks. But I hear it isn't as bad as some places. The people there aren't always the friendliest. But you manage. I could go on and on about the dislikes and the problems Seattle has. But I wont. I will say, that they have some of the best day adventures! Where else can you go see the Pacific Science Center? I have been there twice, and it just keeps getting neater! Where else has some of the best coffee shops on every block? Hate it or love it- Starbucks is there- on every block!! You have the EMP, Pike Place market, Seattle Aquarium, and so much more.
The one thing about Seattle I do like is the fact that you can live somewhere like Bainbridge Island or Bremerton, and take a ferry to work. You can live 30-60 minutes away, and still have the commodities of seattle and the big city like feel right at your fingertips. The schools in neighboring cities are a little better than Seattle's- but I think that's just because their not up for closures. There are too many schools, and not enough students to fill them in Seattle.
As for the RAIN- it's not that bad! Yes we get rain. Yes we get a lot. But, again I have lived in the pacific northwest all of my life, and find that I would rather live in a place where it rains, that in a place that doesn't get ANY rain.
My final comments- where else can you go hiking in the morning in the cascades or the olympics, then kayak the strait of juan de fuca or puget sound in the afternoon, then go to a restaraunt where they serve some of the best seafood around?
