Comments: 1. You can have the ballet (we have it too, just don't swoon over the men in tights)
2. I've probably been to more of your state than you have, but it's more beautiful here.....your water is frickin freezing btw!
3. We have everything on your list but Microsoft (which is old, decaying, and dead), Boeing, and the LOL...Seattle Center for kids......hint: everyplace has stuff like that!
4. You also have a tax policy and totally corrupt liberal population that guarantees your economic doom. Just a matter of time.

Snow, cold and delusional, two-legged sharks.
It's kinda nice there in the summer though, if you stay outta the cities.
Sharky has the opportunity to watch his favorite team play Nebraska in something called the Alamo Bowl. It's not much but when one exists in a perpetual state of winter, even that helps to fill the long, empty, cold hours between August and June.
