[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Seattle [/quote]

I live in Seattle and think of it as a really difficult place to visit. The areas near tourist sites are grimy and filled with super shady situations, mentally ill people, and occasionally violent people. Traffic is daunting if you’re trying to enjoy the scenic parts of the area or get from one neighborhood to the next. It can take me an hour to go 3 miles.

The areas that make my everyday life special are pretty much inaccessible to visitors- neighborhood swim and tennis clubs on the lake, school and university events, friends with boats, urban farm shares, ski houses 50 minutes away, etc.

I think Vancouver is a bit more tourist-friendly in terms of having lots of stuff close by and some actual destinations.

I can definitely understand why someone may not like visiting Seattle but I've enjoyed living there for many years without the things mentioned. No clubs on the lake, friends with boats, ski cabins, urban farm shares. I've played tennis on public courts, swam in the lake and community pools, rented boats, skied for the day or even just the afternoon, gone to farmers markets and enjoyed open events at UW. All accessible to visitors.[/quote]
