I am a disabled epileptic seizure prone American and I am sick of Seattle people and I have lived here for 20+yrs and just feel Seattle has went to trash. I will say it was beautiful back in the late 90's but has just went to trash over time and the housing prices are absolutely ridiculous, especially when the foreign people can come in and get a job at amazon or Microsoft making 100K a yr and have no problem surviving but people like myself who can't drive due to epilepsy can't get into a home or apartment for nothing and when we do it's a drug infested community that we are calling our police/reps/council/apartment managers complaining about and they say they can't do nothing about it or the hypodermic needles getting used in the neighborhood or on the apartment property. I just am so sick of Seattle if I new how to get inhome care and take my social security to a safer place believe me I would be flying out finding a new state to live in with more vitamin D sunshine cause people here are so depressed and unwilling to help one another, I just am sick of the way it's went down hill in the 20yrs that I lived here. I lived in Arizona as a kid in 1989 and people there seemed happier back then compared to the people here in Seattle who are shooting the city up cause of these stupid democratic city council members we have here. I mean I walk out of my apartment and I am finding hypodermic needles and complain to my manager about it and she say's she can't do anything about it or the human feicies I am finding in the stairwells and that if I want to move I can, and it's like well if it was that easy for someone who is chronically disabled to move then believe me they would but it's not that easy for someone with severe epileptic seizures to due. I just hate people here in Seattle cause they are so ignorant and self centered and won't work with one another to keep the city clean but would rather just tell there neighbors to F0ck off and have nothing to do with them. Real prejudice and ignorant people up here so if your thinking you want to move to Seattle hell there is better places like Phoenix, Arizona to move too, where your neighbor will be there for you unlike these selfish people in Seattle who don't want to associate with there neighbor. City police thought I was on drugs a couple of times when I was walking down the street and went into a grandmal seizure so yeah I just hate it here cause the druggies make everyone with true medical problems look like druggies damn oxi/opi/meth/crack heads...

Really?! Seriously?! Go try and live in the Republican paradise of Louisiana, Mississippi, Oklahoma or any other majority conservative state. They have higher mortality rates, lower literacy rates, higher violent crime rates, worst healthcare OUTCOMES, greatest chances of dying at a young age from ALL CAUSES, lowest happiness index rates of any states in the U.S. I could go on and on and on.... I do not know what the hell you Republicans are smokin' but it sure is worse than legal marijuana.... Oh yeah, you would rather have the highest alcoholism and gun death rates instead of legalization. Have fun in your inexpensive conservative paradise....

The couple other posters’ replies below prove the point. In the Seattle metro area, you seem to be totally unable to have two people who have differences of opinion about social issues and politics, but can still get along, work together, etc. Instead of the other people acting like normal human beings, they start behaving badly by calling names, swearing at you, and will even take stickers that they don’t like off your car and tear them up (how mature, eh?). So much for fellow Americans living together in peace. This is still a freedom-of-speech country, and people are all entitled to their opinions—take them or leave them.

If Seattle angers all conservatives this much, then it sounds like a resounding endorsement to me.

Thank you for writing this post. I have lived in downtown Seattle for 3 years and feel the same way. Perhaps Colorado cities like Denver or Boulder might be better places for liberal people who want a safe neighborhood to raise a family.
