Our son sold his West Seattle house and moved to Port Townsend.
He said he’d gotten tired of stepping over sleeping bums and their poop...
Heh. My daughter that moved here moved from a place a couple of blocks north of Ballard’s Market street.
Same thing: The bums. And the parking. Etc.
I lived in the seattle area for 46 years and bicycle commuted downtown, the U district and Bellevue. In the 9 years since I left, the things that drove me away have gotten significantly worse. I do not miss that place at all.
