“The bluest skies you’ve ever seen are in Seattle
And the hills the greenest green are in Seattle
Like a spoiled rotten child growing up stupid and wild
Full of dope and full of fears
Full of meth and full of tears
Full of shirt to last the years
In Seattle
In Seattle!”
“The bluest skies you’ve ever seen are in Seattle”
Bobby or Perry?

“When it’s time to leave your home and your loved ones
It’s the hardest thing a boy can ever do
An’ you pray that you will find someone warm an’ sweet an’ kind
But you’re not sure what’s waiting there for you”
It’d be a blast to see that again, eh? :)
Not to mention the ever so swept under the rug problem with a potable water shortage ... and a rapidly expanding population. Seattle long ago past the carrying capacity of the land it sits on.
That’s good! Did you do it?
The last time Seattle was a nice place to live was in the early ‘60’s when it had a Republican mayor.
Not a single one since, and it’s gone down the toilet at an increasing rate ever since.
The last few years, the rate is almost straight down.
We left King County in 1993 and never looked back.
