As a New Yorker who spent two years living in Seattle, all I can say is that your typical ex-NYPDer will love the lack of an income tax, but will find the locals a little "odd" and more than a little, dare I say, "sensitive."

When I was living in Belltown, I felt like a bull in a china shop.

They will also miss good Italian food, diners, and people who have a concept of the passing lane.

As a lifelong Seattleite (unfortunately) I agree on all counts.

You like Cannoli?  Don't count on the city's ONE Italian bakery (Borrachini's ) to have them available if you drop by; or for that matter for the place to be staffed by actual Italians....know-nothing kids from the 'hood and a surly attitude is the most you can expect.
