As a resident, I can tell you this is not the case. The city is experiencing growth at a break-neck pace. I just don’t get it.
” I just don’t get it.”
Neither do I. I left Seattle in the mid-80’s. If I go thru there today (and I don’t if I can help it) all I see is highrises and traffic jams. The house I bought for 25K in 1975 had a for sale sign on it - priced at a low 400K. Oh, and the whole place is now governed by commie/socialists.
