11/20/2019I couldn't agree more with Paxton. I too grew up in Seattle, and the Mayberry comment may be a stretch, but it was a a wonderful city in which to come of age. Today it is simply a carbon copy of PDX, SFO and LAX; all "left coast sh*t hole cities." All I might add are lead by anti-law leftist democrats. Bartell (local drugstore chain much like CVS, and Walgreen) and Macy's are leaving downtown Seattle. Management has stated that they experience too much theft, and disgruntled (good) customers who must step over pools of urine and fece deposits just to enter their stores. Property crime is out of hand and the police have been told by the city leaders to look the other way. There is no law and order. Cost of living is out of sight, but so are earning. A home you can be proud of in a good neighborhood; figure $800K to well over a million dollars. Child care; (my business) infants $2700 per month, four year old pre-k's $2000 per month. Before you give any consideration to moving here, my I suggest you go to YouTube and watch "Seattle is Dying."

3/19/2019As to the below reply by Haxby, I need to agree and disagree at the same time. I hate what Seattle has become, a filthy, crime ridden city, where the police feel like they are the ones in handcuffs when it come to enforcing the law. As to his/her racist comment, he couldn't be more wrong. If you have the skills to handle the jobs in the tech sector, you are welcome no matter your color, or background. There is something in Seattle called the "Seattle Freeze" which basically is a reluctance by the long time residents to welcome you into their circle. I used to think that SEA and SFO were the two greatest places in America. Now they are both miserable places, mostly due to liberal policies.

3/19/2019Repeat! See "Seattle is Dying" on youtube. I grew up in Seattle, now I won't set a foot in the city. It would be a terrible place to even consider raising a family. The city council is made up of socialists that have no concept of how to do right by the citizens. Ironically the citizens keep electing the same breed of politicians; doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. RUN AWAY!
