Once a fun & safe city degenerating into a slum
-

After working here for a few years, I will try to explain to everyone what is going on in Seattle these days, since everyone seems curious. About 30 to 40 years ago, Seattle was a very cool place to live. People called themselves proud to be Seattlites. Now today, you will not find this atmosphere anywhere. The ambitions that will you all have will now go to something else. This is because the city is engineered these days to bring it's citizens into becoming workers and robots. Stifling creativity and cutting down ambitions is now the norm here. Even something like Indie music or underground music has become irrelevant, and even those veteran musicians from the 1980s Portland/Seattle music scenes will admit you this. Seattle now deliberately tries to cut-down and delete all people with creativity. Everything in this city is all about mass productivity and no individuality. Seattle has a different religion these days and it is all about "collectivism" and "de-individualization". Individualism for this city is now gone. If you were interested in a good music scene, observing good arts or entertainments, or meeting some interesting people with a quirky sense of humor and personality - no longer will you find these kind of people and this kind of Seattle fun that this city once held 30 to 40 years ago. All of this has gone out the window.
Allow me to explain the reasoning why- Many of the people here are born to work. They are expected to be bureaucratic. Seattle is now a work city, and if you aren't fitting in or winning, you're going to lose in this city. Everything is now done in terms of progress and consumption. In Seattle, you work to live there. Having fun in this city is basically a special privilege but only after you fulfill your intense hard-work as a slave to this city. No longer shall you expect Kurt Cobain "revolutionary" types any more. Neither shall you expect right-wing Hank Williams, Jr. "redneck" types. (the latter types no where to be found and possibly extinct.)
Most Seattlites these days are people lacking personality and are just born to work, and yes many of them are transplants and opportunists. Many people here are fake and just looking for attention. Similar to California but with a more negative, aloof and colder atmosphere.
The Seattle police department has it where they cannot hurt fugitives any more, and must actually take care of them. Things like car chases or home ambushes are no longer allowed (by both the police or FBI) in this city. Police officers or FBI agents must be civil and polite towards the fugitive first while investigating them, before they can actually allow to take them into prison. Instead of punishing fugitives, the police department in this city have to "help" the fugitive before taking them into prison. Ludicrous? Absurd? Lots of people can agree.
Many would say that this is spoiling the criminals and is a very spineless thing for police officers to do. While I cannot argue against it, I also do not argue for it, either. But a positive thing about the police is that they still allow you to be defensive of criminals who come onto your property and try to attack you. Or for using self-defense. Unlike in Canada or Australia, where the victim and the attacker would be arrested both by their police force. (even if the victim acts out of self-defense) Is this Lunacy? Probably.
I, personally believe, that there are too many people with too much. (power and influence) in this city of Seattle. Possibly, they are monopolizing and are very superfluous. They are careless and only do things to meet their own ends. They would even advocate mass immigration (internationally- as a sanctuary city) in order to draw out other Seattlites (either onto the streets, or to bring Seattlites into moving to a different city). The city of Seattle wants this competition purposefully, because they want the city of Seattle to be a very "natural selection" work city, and for the most obedient and skillful workers (or "robots) to be employed and to win. Seattle is all about competition and business. It is a very ruthless and power-hungry city. The big-shots in this city do not care and will stop at nothing to get what they want. So beware if you are employed but not in a secure or comfortable position: because you will lose.
Taking risks in this city is very dangerous. If you believe you are being tricked or are descending slowly into a depression by your job/career - this is a sign - to LEAVE SEATTLE RIGHT NOW. This is the jumping off point where you must get out and go somewhere else immediately - to save your firm. Because if you continue staying in Seattle longer, you will further descend to the point of being stuck in a rut that could leave your life devastated. In order to survive in this city, you must be a professional at your job. And you must always beware of the people you deal with and who may be plotting or scheming against you. Always make preparations in Seattle, predetermined and beforehand. (establish in advance) Have a backup plan, in case something doesn't work. Better you to be safe than sorry.
Seattle is no longer the fun city it used to be, and now prizes itself on eating away at its own citizens it deems "unfit". If you're not the best robot or professional; if you're not the best personality, then you're going to get ostracized, big time.
Here's a secret: I've had inside awareness/access with the big shots who run Seattle, and THAT is EXACTLY what they want. Yep, You heard it from me. This is exactly what big business Seattlites these days want: They do not want a city of thinkers or creative individuals, they want a city of workers. Seattle is planning in advance to bring the expectations within it to become higher and higher, and eventually reaching the high expectations as seen in East Asia. (i.e. Japan)
You could probably say that Seattle is a city controlled and governed by sadists and psychopaths. But, it's perfectly legal for them, and the people here have no self-doubts - simply because they do not believe they are doing anything wrong. Seattle does and WILL act like you are the problem - and yes, it IS being done deliberately. Do not go against Seattle, or this will devastate you. Follow the rules and stick to what you know. Do NOT go off the deep end. (metaphorically speaking) The people running this city enjoy putting people out of business deliberately, and this is why the city has now become a slum full of homeless and crooked people.
This city is risky business and can devastate your life if you make all the wrong moves. Seattle is basically a city that is a contest for the best workaholics and robots. Anyone who isn't the best, or even second best, is playing Russian roulette. (maybe not now, but it will be this way in the future.) The city of Seattle is working to build higher and higher expectations and an even more stressful city than most cities in Japan. (Yes, THAT is what the people running Seattle want - Some people maybe scared to hear this truth, but I'm breaking it down to you all, right now. ) Seattle does not give a crap about you or your ambitions. It only wants their ambitions fulfilled by willing opportunists. If you don't fit in or comply, you're toast.
