I love Seattle

Seattle, where have you been all my life? Okay, duh, in the same place you are now, but why haven't I discovered you until now? All my life, I wanted to live in a place as green as this, but I didn't think it could happen, until now! Seattle, you are gorgeous. First of all, the entrance into the city is one of the most incredible sights I have ever seen. As we drove over the nation's longest steel bridge, we were amazed. The sparkling water surrounded by green rolling hills, evergreen trees, and city landscape make for a stunning view. But then it gets even better. The University of Washington campus is the most beautiful thing I think I have ever seen. The architecture is creative, chic, and totally hipster. It's great. But then you've got the peaceful waterfront, and dynamic artwork, and classy restaurants, and colorful vegetation. It's marvelous. Seattle, you are definitely by far the cleanest, most earth friendly city I have ever visited. I did not see one piece of trash or litter anywhere! Not even under the bridges or near dumpsters! Everything is unusually clean! The street names are clever too :) oh but the people, holy hannah montana, the people of Seattle are the city's best feature! I have lived in Texas, I have lived in Utah, and never in my life have I met so many outrageously kind people! I am not exaggerating! Strangers smiled and waived, several people offered to take pictures for us, and no one honked at me when I clearly had no idea where I was going. Customer service was outstanding in every store I went to; even at 11pm! The waiter who served us at the restaurant today found out that we don't have a microwave so he offered to give us his extra one! Isn't that insanely nice? And some bum on the side of the street told us "excuse me ladies, I'm not going to ask you for money, but I do want to say that you're both very pretty." Awww people here are the best! In their exercise outfits, and eco-friendly cars, with their dogs and coffee mugs. I just love them.
Yep, this summer is going to be fantastic. I'm never leaving this wonderful place!
