I had to bump this because too many people like seattle. what are the cool neighborhoods, cool bars, restruants, sushi, pool, head shops, places to pick up chicks, etc

if I can pull off working and living in SF then that's what I'll do. Unfortunately I doubt that will happen.

Hmmm, so you think Seattle is run down and sea scummy but you wanna buy a place here?
- jfletcher0
on which? The 4 seasons looks like over 10mil.
On the 5th and Madison ones I think they are like 1-2mil.

Lloyd - I get one of the new condos in downtown. If you have that much you can get something nice in a brand new high rise.
- which one? I've worked on the marketing for many of them...hopefully it was my copy that inspired you!ThePublics

I just moved here in March 2007 from Austin (originally from Austin area and too fucking hot!) and love it. Yeah, we don't see the sun all that much which lately has been getting harder to bear since winter hangs on this year (the mountains just got dumped on by FEET of snow earlier this week). However, the summers and proximity to anything outdoorsy makes up for it. Last summer was my first here and it was amazing! Though this has also been my first full winter here, which wasn't unbearable, but I like cool rainy weather during the winter so didn't bother me much. I needed a change in seasons which Texas seriously lacks.
I live just north of downtown (SLU) which is pretty expensive, but having lived in NYC for a little while it's bearable. No car. Walk everywhere. Greenlake, Ballard, and Madrona are really nice areas relatively close to downtown. I'm probably moving to Capitol Hill/First Hill next year once my lease is up... prefer to be much closer to downtown and would rather pay higher rent in exchange for not having to commute by car or bus.
