I've often heard Seattle referred to as Boston-West. Having come from the San Diego area about 10 years ago, I can say without a doubt that I agree..

Imagine a city that puts up with an executive who threatens to close all the parks in King County unless they agree to raise their own taxes. (They did)

Imagine a city that tolerates Jim McDermott and Patty Murray... (They do)

Imagine a city that welcomes WTO protests and then is surprised when they trash downtown (They were)

Imagine a city that denegrates businesses so much that their biggest business decides to flee to Chicago (They did...)

Yup, I love the rivers and the lakes, but the people are nuts up here.

Everything you said is true, sad but true.

You forgot to mention that it rains all the time.
