Seattle 30 years ago was a nice place...

A bit nutty for my tastes 30 years ago or as it was called then: The Farside, but 20 years before that it was actually a very nice place to live. People actually worked for a living then; the trust-funders were still in California.
The main problem is that Seattle (King County) is affecting the entire state with their “progressive” policies. Wife and I are mere months away from making our escape east of the mountains. While some of the west side’s policies are still felt there, the impact is not nearly as toxic as it is in the entire west side.
Well yeah...but in 70s I worked near downtown and as a youngish woman could walk downtown without fear. I’m old enough to remember Smith Tower as tallest building...
