Review of Seattle, Washington


Seattle has fallen
Star Rating - 2/6/2021
The publisher’s review of Seattle is completely incorrect as this place has turned into a hell hole. The comments and data he listed are in past tense, as a born and bred core of Seattle kid that was very intergrated into the city both socially and business I can tell you that this is a city on a downward trajectory and there is no stopping it until it does a complete crash. Thus many of us sadly (as we truly love this place) are leaving for locations that remind of what was Seattle which does not represent it today. I can tell that I love Seattle and that does not come close to my deep feelings for growing up here and my connection to the town’s growth, I am proud of that. However the change is due to the migration of people from CA, IL and NY that came here then changed it to suit their same lifestyle/politics they left. Emmett Watson had the right idea years back “Lesser Seattle”, people laughed at him for it, however what he said came true. Having a political party in place for 40 years with no challenger will act as if they own it, well that’s what happened. Good luck to anyone moving here, you’ll need it.

Looking at Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Texas and Florida. FYI as I post this the state is now passing a 9% cap gains tax (they say its a rich person tax) that is a income tax as the IRS deems Cap gains as regular income ;-)
