[Denny Crane]

Can anyone give me the scoop on what the weather is like in Seattle? Just curious.

Ever Been to Portland? It's just like it but often 5-10 degrees cooler with slightly more cloud cover throughout the year

 

[Eastoff]

Basically it is cloudy 75% of the year with drizzle frequently. Expect lows in the 40s and highs in the 50s for this time of year.

 

[Denny Crane]

Is it a good place to live? What kinds of outdoor activities do you get to do?

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

A colder, slightly rainier Portland.

Though, I'm sure Ed O. can help you more than anyone here.

 

[MickZagger]

Great summers. Shitty long, cold, drizzly fall, winter and spring months. Great city. A better version of San Fran.

I prefer Portland.

Haha! Um, no.

Absolutely, especially if you don't mind the weather. Nestled in the Cascades so a short drive to the outdoors. Also if you're in to boating the opportunities are abound. If it had better weather it would be the best big city on the West Coast.

 

[MickZagger]

Haha! Um, no.

Oh, is that your opinion?

 

[Denny Crane]

How many hours drive to Portland?

It all depends on what you like. Seattle has better neighborhood "areas" of the city than Portland. Much better ethnic food and theater. Oregon probably has more diverse outdoor areas closer by, but what Seattle does have is spectacular. Plus you get the San Juans. And, like Oakland is to San Fran, Tacoma is the rectum of Seattle. It's nice to shove the crappy masses south like that. In Portland they live all over. And Seattle has an NBA tea.......... oopsie. I mean, they have NFL & MBL. One last thing. If you move there and become a Husky fan, just leave S2 and never come back.

The only thing Seattle and SF have in common is that they are larger than Portland and are located on the west coast.

I grew up in Seattle, and I travel to SF quite often. Very different cultural features, and very different geographic areas, and that's just the beginning.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

Yeah, SF is a real city. Seattle is a small city center (and I struggle to call it that) and a bunch of suburbs.

Its just Portland with a little more money (more yuppies and that kind of shit) and less granola basically. I like the vibe of Portland a lot better personally, but there is more to do in Seattle I guess.

Darkness with periods of light.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

My bro says when it snows, the city shuts down. they do everything ass backwards.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

And there's a Denny Way in Seattle!

I thought you said you grew up in Montana?

Nonetheless, San Francisco and Seattle are both uber-liberal cities with an eclectic artsy, fartsy vibe. They both are on a large body of water and both have tons of hills. Both have a sprawled out urban area. Both have tons of asians. I think they have more in common than just being big cities on the west coast.

I stayed at a friend's house in July in San Francisco and froze my nuts off.

I went to HS and my undergrad in Montana.

 

[Ed O]

Bigger than Portland. Colder than Portland.

3ish hours to both Portland and Vancouver, BC.

Lots of islands and stuff around to visit. Mountains, too, I guess. If you're into it.

Kinky. But like Vegas, what you choose to do in SF stays in SF (along with your balls apparently).

False. They also both start with "S".

I believe "NOAA" can give you some insight. You can reach them via "Google".

Plus another hour to go the 3 miles from your home to the freeway. Probably the worst traffic design of any city in the US.

I love to visit Seattle for a day or 2, but the locals don't seem very friendly or outgoing compared to anywhere else I've been.

Sales tax, absurd fees on just about everything like car registrations, building permits...

Decent music scene. It's like a smaller, staider version of the Portland music scene.

SEAFOOD!

If you have a seagoing boat or like diving there's no limit to the opportunities.

I spent a week there alone for some training back in the nineties and drove all over each evening checking out the neighborhoods and suburbs. Found none I'd want to live in. Noisy, dirty, busy, noisy. Did I mention it's noisy?

The Northwest is different from the rest of the country. There are no ghettos, just integrated shiny tamed black people who don't hate white people, just put up with them. If you drive across the state or the city, take precautions for the weather killing you, not the people, as you would in California. The enemy who will do you in isn't mean macho people, it's rough weather.

In downtown San Francisco I always hole up in a cafe for an hour while the demonstration passes outside. In Seattle you never see any demonstrations. In SF the revolution is being fought; in Seattle it's already been won. Compared to California, Northwesterners are very polite, because the weather makes us stay inside and get along with each other.

The Northwest is green because of the rain. Trees make the areas between cities seem alive instead of dead and brown like drier areas of the country. California friends call my home a park, with numerous 100-foot evergreens in the yard on a lake. Every day I climb a tree, spot seals below, and dive 60 feet to play with them. When dusk calls I light the campfire and hang a small goat on the spit. The weather means you only have to mow the lawn 6 months a year, and you get weeks of free vacation when it snows. At night the stars put on a show for free, twinkling in the clear frigid air, cleansed by the brief midnight rains. I take another 60-foot dive but the tide has run out.
