It's only rained one day here in the past 3 months, and that was a very small amount (.03 inches). You making this up?

I experienced the same thing when I went to Seattle for the Saints/Seahags game in 2007. I found the people to be very detached & rude. It is too bad because it is such a great city & beautiful part of the country.

Northwest is much different than northeast; were you wearing your MAGA hat?

Never had a problem in Seattle with people being un-friendly. Still, not really my kind of place. Sounds like maybe you just had some rough luck. Happens to the best of us.

OP wonders why folks interact with him like that:

Seattle has the ugliest white population of any major city in America. Walk though the airport in Dallas and it's a fashion show of perfect tens. Arrive at SeaTac and it's like a bag lady convention.

We looked to retire to the PNW for the boating.
Decided we didn't fit.
Briefly: a young boy was abducted by a child molester who had just gotten out of prison for molestation. Molester cut the child's pe nis off. Kid only survived because strangers saw him wandering dazed in the woods.
Kid's mother said "Next time they let him out of jail, they need to watch him more closely."
That was so far from our reaction, and similar reactions that we decided we didn't belong there.

I'll take your word for it, but Wisconsin has to at least he knocking on the door.

downtown Seattle has some strange folks...the outlying areas have some good people though...the Kitsap peninsula in particular...

Yeah, it's a real eye-opener to be sure. It's not just a big city thing, either. I'm familiar with cities making people colder. But the PNW twins are different entirely. It's like everything in the world is just a big "meh" to them and nothing could motivate them to care about anything at all - not doing a good job, not being friendly, not looking after themselves. It's kind of amazing after visiting there how any of the skyscrapers got built, or the roads paved, or anything really... because they don't seem motivated to do anything but just kind of sit alone and write a depressing diary entry or something like that. Was there once an enterprising, energetic generation there that has all died off?

I've spent time in Seattle, Portland, San Francisco,Denver etc. and never experienced what the OP or others have described. People were friendly and would talk to me if I struck up a conversation. Maybe it was your MAGA hat that stunned them.

Seattle has really changed over the past 15 years. The people there are really full of themselves.

People in the North are racist, rude assholes.
Be lucky you are not black.

Yea, it was called the Seattle Chill when I was there but it is real. They don't try to get to know you and intentionally try to shut you out. Like others have said, most are nice just some aren't.

I dont want to call the op a liar, but I have a hard time believing this. I think the niceness of the south is greatly exaggerated in stories like this all the time

Portland is better than Seattle now. You have the leftist loons with torches and pitchforks but also some genuinely good people

Idk it may just be me but is that a Northern thing ? Is being polite and friendly weird when it comes to strangers up there . Jeez I might as well got drunk off my arse and started yelling Geaux Tigers or WhoDat if I wanted those looks lol.
I like Seattle but I'm thinking maybe I should've been in Portland with the weirdos .

The most racist people I've ever met were in Utica, New York. Holy shite. They just publicly said insanely racist things. And this was on business, so it should have been a more formal relationship. I was thinking to myself "WOW, and people say the south is racist!" I mean for all they knew my wife could have been black but they were just dropping N bombs like whatever.
