Wasn't there a TV show in the 1960s about wonderful Seattle? The show seemed to have a theme song too.

The only Seattle TV show I can think of was Frasier in the 1990s.

We were stationed at Oak Harbor NAS on Whidbey Island, WA when I was a little kid. Seattle was a couple of hours away via ferry and we’d go there every six weeks or so. It was really nice back then and my parents loved it.

But then, San Francisco was really nice back then, too.

The only show that comes to mind from that period is the Mary Tyler Moore show. But it was placed in Minneapolis. Or rather now known as Somaliapolis.

Yes, it was called Here Come The Brides. It was a story that revolved around a true story about some men from Seattle making a trip to the East Coast (Boston, I think) to try to talk women into traveling to the Northwest to marry. There were a lot of working men (lumberjacks mostly) there; but, not enough women for them to marry. I believe that they made several trips back to the East to bring back brides.

When this show was on, I was in my early teens and wondered if it was a true story. Ends up, that it was a true story, a bit embellished; but, true.

Perry Como sang the theme song. "The bluest skies you'll ever see are in Seattle, and the hills the greenest, green in Seattle ---- etc.
