Star Rating - 2/2/2008
Straight off. Seattle wins for the sexiest US city. Gleaming skyscrapers surrounded by the Puget Sound and Lake Washington with Mt. Rainier and the Olymopia Mountains as backdrops and the Space Needle to bring something new to the skyline. Much like the rest of the area Seattle sees a lot of rain. If your blood type tests coffee than you should move to the birthplace of Starbucks. Everywhere you turn you can find a coffee shop. It's like Walmart only worse. Walmart can't be on every corner. Coffee shops can. Many great bands also have originated here; most famously Nirvana. Everyone in Seattle has at least listened to the music. As for food, the city has many restaurants, most of them stand sub-par. Seafood is abundant and you can always catch fish at the Pike Place Market which is a maze of shops and heaven for people who collect knick-knacks. There are no really good museums surprisingly considering Seattle is extremely sophisticated with most people with a degree. Crime is low and Real Estate is expensive thanks to Bill Gates and his Microsoft Corp. billionaires. Don't think it's getting better either. The job market is good considering Microsoft is present but Boeing headquartered here before moving to Chicago but jobs still remain present. If you love coffee, don't mind rain, love the outdoors and don't mind rain you better start packing!
