I've never really liked Seattle and I've been here for years. Like a lot of places it's had its moments of of worthiness, just not very many of them. And the climate is dismal.
But the core of downtown Seattle is now a complete third world shithole. The state lockdowns and city tolerance of criminality have removed the economic base and emptied nearly every retail business leaving the downtown core a wasteland of deserted destitution, urban filth, and vagrant zombies.
There ain't no kind of V shaped recovery gonna happen there, no fucking way.
I'd visit Seattle once every 5 years or so, because a big chunk of my extended family on my dad's side lives there. As nice as it is seeing members of my family, I always thought the city itself sucked balls. Its just a rainier, more addict-filled, all around shittier version of Austin, and that's saying something given the overall worthlessness of Austin.
