That is so great! If I ever go to Seattle - heck if I ever learn how to TYPE Seattttuhl, I will certainly go there. People who can't be silly just aren't worth knowing.
If you ever get here, you'll never want to leave. It's always green, even in the summer. We tell everybody that it rains all the time, but in reality NY and Miami get more rain. We just spread it over more days. Summers average 75 deg., winters about 40.
