Quote HistoryQuoted: 20 years ago, Seattle was a great place to visit. The waterfront, aquarium, pikes place market, museums, pacific science center, Ye Olde Curiosity store, etc. Now, it has turned into a place filled with junkies who shit on the street, homeless encampments, rampant drug use, in short, it is a city I now avoid at all costs. Those are all the things I enjoy most when visiting the big city. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Businesses are already leaving. Columbia just announced they’re not reopening their Seattle store. There have been others in the news that are leaving. Amazon is currently moving it's PNW operations to Redmond, IIRC. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Will it drive out Amazon there? Amazon has already been moving people to Redmond IIRC. They are also building a "second HQ" in Virginia (This is the one that was supposed to be in NYC that AOC killed). |

I wonder if Boeing is beefing up security....
Hell, the Navy should probably bolster their force-protection apparatus as well. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard. Sounds like Mencken Democracy is a pathetic belief in the collective wisdom of individual ignorance. Democracy is also a form of worship. It is the worship of jackals by jackasses. Democracy is the art and science of running the circus from the monkey cage. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Well she just hired a former pimp to be the "street czar" and basically take over for the police. It's cliche but you really can't make this shit up. https://thepostmillennial.com/seattle-hires-ex-pimp-to-be-street-czar Are you fucking kidding .e? Funny how all this happened months ago. The contract was signed by a representative from the city's Department of Neighborhoods on June 22, as the CHOP demonstrations were still unfolding. Taylor didn't sign the contract, however, until July 27." |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Wtf, not only at that story but also at that website. https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/516916/Screenshot_20200922-215333_png-1603451.JPG Unfortunately, most of the hard core conservative, anti-leftist media sites don't have daddy warbucks or giant woke corporations to help fund them, so they probably go all in on trying to get ad revenue. Just click on that boner drug ad, helps get the message out

Quote HistoryQuoted: I've lived in Seattle all 58 years of my life and have had just about enough. About to close on a home in rural Western PA and will be moving as soon as I can tie up loose ends here. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but Pennsylvania is basically a mirror opposite of Washington. The radical leftist of the eastern part of the state (Philly) dictates the policy and politics of the entire state. Western Pa is like living in rural Spokane or Stevens county. |

Yeah, in Crystal City, where the urban density is already high and traffic into and out of DC is a nightmare. They didn't help anything. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Yup. Last one out please turn out the lights. Don’t know if you were purposely reaching back into obscure Seattle lore, but there used to be a sign on Pacific Highway leaving Seattle that said just that after the 1971 bust. Seattle is a town of booms and busts. The city gets all big tits and then gets slapped down. They are way overdue. |

Not perfect, but like others have stated better than my present situation. (A very nice older house selling for $46,000 in a small town helps too !) |

Not a single dime of our money should go to any city that defunds the police, the whole department should walk off. Businesses if they are smart should close up shop. That shit hole will turn into the wild west and shortly after little Mogadishu in the sense that war lords and lawlessness will rise. Also zero mutual aid. Let red cross deal with the hospitals too. May a whole lot of fuck be upon them.
