I really liked Bremerton the handful of times I've been there. Though even that has its gentrified areas, especially around the waterfront area.
Last time I was in Georgetown it still had some of the older vibe. The power tool races being my canonical example. Strictly speaking they're pretty dangerous, especially when they deliberately crash them into each other or fly them off ramps. Not something someone would want near their million dollar home. Eventually someone's kid is going to get hit from some shrapnel, or a racer is going to fly off a ramp into the crowd, someone's going to sue, and that's going to be the end of that.
Part of me says Seattle deserved better, but the other part of me says they got exactly what they voted for. Either way it's not my problem anymore, as I haven't lived there for many years.

I honestly don't know if the locals voted for it, or the californians did.
