    I've lived in the Seattle area all my life. There is a vaste amount of creative and fun art, The Entertainment Music Project ( E.M.P.), Pacific Science Center, we have two Imax theaters here ( note; there are only three in the world!), great food, great musicians, fun summer time events..like Bumpershoot, Bite of Seattle, etc., New Years Eve at the Space Needle. The people are friendly and down to earth for the most part, we do have a lot of interesting, colorful personalities. We also have beautiful country and scenery.

    The worst part is definatly the taxes. We have one of the highest taxes in the nation on gas, alcohol & tobacco. We have terrible traffic, there is always road construction going on.

    Pretty cool place to live.

    I think the best part about living in the Seattle area is all the fun things to do. And it's quite a beautiful place. The downside of Seattle is the traffic. Best of luck!

    Best thing, it's a clean town, everything is beautiful there, the bad part is it RAINS everyday. Some days it never stops. It amazed me when I visited because Seatllites don't let the rain stop them from doing out door activities such as walking or running. And they don't use umbrellas.

    Go to www.spaceneedle.com. There you'll see live 360 degree streaming of the city. Notice the clouds. You should be able to see Mt Rainier in the backgroun. It's really beautiful
