I live in the Seattle area and don’t want to go there anymore.”
I live north of Seattle and generally have to drive there about twice a week.
Traffic is horrible, there are homeless camps everywhere. I just drive to the office building parking lot and go in to whatever business. I never have feet on sidewalk anymore.
The most ridiculous thing was that campsite built right by the Space Needle and the city council was just out in space over it. People had to walk out in the street to get around it.
I used to love going to The Ram and live around the U-Dist but no more. I make the extra drive from SEATAC to my folks’ home on the Peninsula when I’m in town.
