Beautiful but...

There is more than meets the eye when it comes to Seattle. Visitors will no doubt be charmed by the mountain and Puget sound views. But after living here certain things begin to wear on you. Traffic. Mind-numbing excessive traffic. The weather and what feels like never ending gray overcast days at times. And when it rains, it likes to do so all day long. But the most prevalent problem is the overcrowding, and this keeps property prices very high. Also because of the economy, many employers are freezing wages, and wages in general just aren't enough to cover what is asked for houses around here, therefore there is a very large contingent of people who rent. Seattle natives are passive-aggressive, which isn't a flaw I'm just telling it like it is. Also if you come from an area where you say hi to people when you walk by them, that dies when you get to Seattle.
