I moved to Seattle a decade ago from Baton Rouge, bless your heart if you think anywhere in Louisiana can compete with the Pacific Northwest in terms of quality of life :lol:

Government owning means of production :popcorn:

I can't believe people think that little cretin's meddling in this process is doing this program any favors :lol:

genuinely curious, Im very moderate but do you notice the liberalism of Seattle in daily life? Everyone I talk to says how its crunchy Suburu tree huggers with protests all the time. Id rather hear from a local

Yes, I do notice the liberalism and I am a liberal myself, so it probably won’t surprise you to hear I enjoy it.

Certainly there are fringe leftists (I call them “blue hairs”) who can be tiresome to be around. I work with a few who can just be too much. But that liberal spirit also produces some good outcomes - strong public transit, excellent bike infrastructure, common sense environmental protections to sustain the beauty of the PNW, that kind of thing.

Identity politics is one of the most annoying things liberals love to entertain, and that is true here, but I find it easy to tune out. Living among voters/taxpayers who want a better city for everyone has made Seattle a pretty kick arse place to live for the last decade. The problems in Seattle feel so quaint compared to Louisianas issues..

Bouchard is such a little bitch :lol: great effort from Reinhart

Not nearly trashy and shameless enough to pull something like that

Afraid I can't really answer that, I spent a few days in Ireland but I was pretty much entirely in Doolin. FWIW, I though Cliffs of Moher was awesome.

Belfast was nice. I had a great time, but its the kind of city where you can see everything in two days. From what I've seen of S Ireland + what I've read since my trip, I'd vote spending more time in S Ireland.

Don't spend too much time in Dublin. As others have already alluded to, the real gems of Ireland are found elsewhere. I haven't traveled there as extensively as others have, but Galway and the Cliffs of Moher are fantastic. If you make it to Belfast, Northern Ireland, The Titanic Museum is probably the best museum I've ever been to. Just fascinating and incredibly comprehensive.

Gig Harbor, Port Orchard, Bremerton, Silverdale are all pretty nice places to settle down. I haven't spent a bunch of time there but I'd buy there before, say, Lynnwood/Everett or south King County. Check out Port Angeles as well. I'd imagine its expensive out there but its beautiful.

I moved to Seattle close to 10 years ago. The quality of life here is so much better.

No boil water advisories. No hurricanes. Far fewer loud, ignorant mouth breathers. More natural beauty. Mountains. Far better economy. Roaches and mosquitoes are few and far between.

Despite the very high cost of living, incomes here are also very high. I'm able to save half my net income each month.

I still love New Orleans (though I wouldn't want to live there). I miss the friendly, outgoing nature people tend to have in Louisiana. I miss the food. But outside of that, nah. Couldn't go back permanently.
