I'm visiting soon to see if I want to accept a grad program there, but I've never been. Help me understand what it's like to live there.
What I'm looking forward to (based on friends and stereotypes):
- Liberal domination
- Good public transit
- Good food
- Clean air
- Good access to PNW nature and California and Canada
- REALLY good school program
- Better laws and gay rights and weed
What I'm worried about (based on friends and stereotypes):
- Seattle Freeze (I heard people are not nice :<)
- the school has a 3% Hispanic population. I'm gonna miss having warm Latino culture around me.
- Rain or overcast most days of the year. I hate rain, and cold tiny wet drops piss me off the most. I hate rainwear and what rain does to hair.
- I like sun and Seattle has none to spare
- I heard/it seems expensive af
- Far away from all my family and friends
- No warm beaches
- I struggle with anxiety & depression and the loneliness and gloomy climate may worsen it
What do you guys think about Seattle?
