Disappointed in Seattle
-

My family moved to Seattle in 1978; my parents were both from this area. I have spent a total of 43 years living in Seattle. It used to be a wonderful city to reside in! I would have given Seattle 4 stars in the 1990s. At this point I would give it zero or 1/2 star if it was an option.
My husband and I moved back to Seattle in 2011 with our children. We purchased a home, and we have been shocked by the decline that has taken place over the last 10 years. The liberal city council is determined to ruin Seattle, and they are succeeding in their goal.
Seattle, fondly called Mayberry with Skyscrapers in the 1990s, is now a city with big city problems that are completely out of control. Crime has skyrocketed, the homeless tents are allowed to be in the parks and even on downtown Seattle sidewalks, safety is gone, looting is normal, and our house is going up for sale this spring.
I would not recommend Seattle as a decent place to live. I do hope it recovers someday, but it would take a complete reversal and a choice to care again about the city and all people.
