2. I moved to Seattle 20 years ago to stay for a year or so - I'm still here
and doubt I'll ever move away.

4. Shhh! Everybody stay away. Too much rain. Too much traffic.
After a few years here, you'll have webbed feet and moss growing up your north side.

(Remember the Lesser is Greater Seattle society?)

7. Proud member of Lesser Seattle here!
As my t-shirt read, "Have a nice day. Somewhere else."

It rains all the time here. All the time. The traffic's atrocious. You'll be forced, FORCED, to drink lattes, hug trees, wear sunglasses in the winter, and eat at Dick's.

You don't want to move here. Really. :evilgrin:
