I loved it there! This is where I want to retire if the country will allow Americans to live before we remove any chance of visiting another country.

You might think you want to, but the west coast in the winter is pretty horrific weather relatively to the rest of the country.

You get maybe six hours of sunshine a day, rain almost every day and if you're really unlucky, 70-90mph winds rolling through.

It is incredibly beautiful in the summer though, I have to admit. Empty, but beautiful.

I am living in Seattle right now. It was like staying home but with nicer people and amazing food :). I do love the weather here in Seattle as well

Oddly enough, I've visited Seattle multiple times over the years and found it to be similar enough in some regards I immediately felt comfortable in the city.

Shenanigans were had at Von's, the old one on 6th and Pine before they went turbo hipster. Too many wings, too many beers and too much pride.

That’s awesome you felt like home here. That’s exactly how I felt when I visited. I had a lot of scotch and didn’t want to leave :). That was in 2016. One day I will get back there.
