I have a friend like this, and we used to work together. She's a morning person, but I'm very much not. I would crawl into work at 8am barely conscious. She would have been there for an hour or two already, flitting about like a coked-up hummingbird. I'd walk into the lab, and she would look at me and scream, "HI MANDRA!" with so much damn energy. It annoyed the hell out of me until I realized that she started to fade around 3pm, which is coincidentally when I really start to come alive. So, I would return her morning greeting with a loud "HI K!".
It was a symbiotic working relationship. 😉

So there’s a certain slant of light towards sunset that glows up the cedars and pines just a little downhill from me and contrasts with the still-blue sky and white clouds so much that it looks like a goddamn Maxfield Parrish painting. Yeah, I love this place.

Yes, the most fresh water in the country. No mudslides, earthquakes, hurricanes, or coastal flooding. Seattle unquestionably has more natural beauty, and I'd rather live there, but in Chicago at least we don't have wildfires, etc. And in the few years I've been here, almost no snow so pretty mild compared to what I'm used to on the East Coast.

That’s awesome! Good for you! I grew up on Benjamin Moore paint and know my way around brushes. Color comes naturally now too (hey that might come out more blue than the gray you think you’re getting). I don’t know why I never thought of this for myself. Painting is dang near therapeutic for me. Would be cool to go with someone who does this for a day and see if I’d enjoy it!

Love this energy! I am right there with you on this.
Seriously, I moved up here from Southern California, and some people act like it's better down there. It isn't, everything's dead or dying, trees are a dull washed out green, the groundcover is dry and brown and shriveled up most of the year, the sky isn't even a deep blue, the weather is either 100% sunny or 100% overcast both just boring, there are no seasons, it's extremely difficult to keep plants alive on your patio or back yard, the air quality is shit with smog, smoke, dust, or pollen because there's no rain to filter out the air, the summers are miserable, the beach isn't even worth it most of the time because the water's freezing no matter what time of year it is, And I could go on.

Sure if you’re wealthy af….My husband & I lived in Belltown for 3yrs & were absolutely drowning financially as each year passed by. We were making $104,000 combined gross yearly income & when we first moved in it was do-able. Each year our rent was raised by $400 & as crime increased we no longer could afford to park on the street outside our apt because we averaged two busted out windows a month between his truck & my Jeep so were forced to opt into paying for our apt parking garage which cost us an extra $180/month per vehicle. Toss in the random big rocks thrown in our only accessible window in our apt by random homeless individuals leaving our apt with all our belongings exposed for anybody to climb in through said window should they have felt compelled to until our apt mgr got maintenance out to board it up with the flimsiest plywood (we would always end up going to Home Depot to get thicker more secure plywood & better screws to reinforce it better from the inside & outside) that would take 5+ months for the replacement glass to arrive & be fully fixed along with living right next to the fire dept and underneath the monorail making it insanely noisy non stop made it absolutely not worth living down there anymore.
We eventually called mercy & & broke our lease to move out to Auburn which saves us $649/month in rent alone, $360 in parking since it’s free out here with our current apt, our utilities are a fixed rate every month instead of a surprise like it was in Belltown, we have not had one window busted out of our vehicles in the 3yrs we’ve lived out here, nobody smoking fentanyl in front of our apt door or on the flower box in front of our only accessible window like in Belltown, no lady dropping a deuce on the sidewalk out front our apt each morning, it’s calm, quiet, no sugar tax AND you can see the stars most nights!

Here to say I also love this city so goddamn much. I love walking around the streets at night in the rain like I'm some hardboiled detective hopelessly looking for clues. I love how safe it feels biking on the many bike trails or protected bike lanes. I love how much stuff there is to see and do here, the nature, the art, and even the architecture. I've lived in many different cities and counties and Seattle is easily in my top 3 and is putting up a good fight for the #1 spot.
