things I like about seattle
When I recently said something positive about the Seattle area, a local homer expressed shock that such heresy would escape my lips. So perhaps I've been a bit unbalanced in my discussions of this here town. In the interests of fairness, here are a few things I adore about Seattle:
- It stays in Seattle, more or less.
- The U.S. Mail service in Seattle is as good as it is anywhere.
- I-90 East
- It's not Seattle's suburbs.
- Departing flights are seldom delayed because of snow.
- It introduced me to the cherished phrase "latte-sucking motherfuckers."
- Winter eventually ends after nine months
- Its excellent bus system helps keep oblivious Seattle drivers off the roads.
- It's within easy driving distance of Portland, Spokane and Vancouver.
It's not within driving distance for my relatives in Ohio.
I jest, of course. Here's the real list:
- Sue Bird
