Re: [QUAD-L] Best Accessible Cities- New Mobility Magazine

[greg]

I can't believe Seattle is even on that list. It's a great city, beautiful, on a clear day. But it does rain a lot. I moved from Seattle to the Phoenix area because I was always just too cold. I'd wear T-shirt, turtleneck, scarf, hat, and sit by the wood stove. now there are a lot of places a lot colder, but gray skies and sprinkling just make you feel cold to the bone. As far as wheelchair accessible the city is, the suburbs are, but a large part of the Seattle neighborhoods are filled with hills and pre-50s houses with lots of stairs just to get to the front door. The house I was in when I had my injury had like six or seven stairs just to get to the front door and every house I can think of in that area was the same. But most of the suburbs are pretty flat. But it is a city that has so many things you can do. Three months of the year it's just clear skies and some sort of a festival, food tasting thing like the bite of Seattle, Greek Festival, bumbershoot, every weekend. I don't know what their requirements are, but San Francisco, Boston, I think of hills and old buildings.
