Seattle
August, 2002
On paper, Seattle sounds perfect: on the water with the mountains nearby, however
the people seem to be surviving work only to reach the weekend. I've been told
the rain wears on people and there is a lot of depression here, however there is
also a lot of enthusiasm for the outdoors, which I though would make it more lively.
The city, however did little for me. I felt the people were tired and sleepy due
to the overcast skies so turned to coffee to constantly remain upbeat and perky
until it became an addition and later a way of life.
The space needle provides great views while the roads and traffic provide headaches.
The appeal for me is the accessibility to the outdoors, not the city itself. It's
not a bad place, but it did little for me.
