In other words, Stacey...it's a great place to visit, but wouldn't want to live there?!?! I always found Seattle a nice place to visit when I was a flight attendant...when you happened to be there on one of the 10 days the sun actually shines :-)

Ok, I will chime in since Randy was obviously baiting me!

First, I live 3 hours away from Seattle by car. I think it is a nice place to visit, but there isn't enough money in the world to get me to live there! The traffic is horrible ( sorry Jerry - can't see what you are seeing there), it rains a lot without the benefit of sunshine ( like in Florida), and it is very expensive. Of course, my opinion is from the perspective of someone who prefers smaller towns as opposed to big cities. Jerry is correct- the food there is amazing. As for the arts and entertainment, there is plenty to do. There is nothing quite like Pike Street Market, in my experience. But Seattle is strictly a place I love to visit - and not frequently!!

If a national laboratory or military research outfit suddenly pops up in Gainesville , let me know! I will move there in a second! (-: As it stands, I have a pretty good gig here in the Tri-Cities, with family nearby and a relatively awesome job. And to make it Gator related, I AM the Gator club out here. Our little group of Gators watch all the games at my house. We sing "We Are The Boys" at the end of the 3rd quarter, and the alma mater at the end of the game. I am needed up here to do my part in spreading the Gator tradition to all parts of the world!

Do I pass, Oliver? (-:

Stacey

PS. I forgot to mention I live in the middle of excellent wine country, and nice but inexpensive golf courses!

Randy,

I don't know if you have ever spent any time in Seattle, but it is one of
the very few places on the West Coast that I would consider living.  It is
very clean, the weather is fantastic year round, the traffic is very well
planned, and the food is fantastic.  Because of the sea currents, the
climate is very mild in spite of its Northern latitude.  For example, the
highs this week are in the mid to high forties, while the lows are only 39.

Makes sense to me. Why would ANYONE want to live in Seattle when they can
live in Gainesville instead?

Anyone want to take a shot at that question? Anyone? :)
