As a born and bred Seattlite (1955), I agree with everything you have said here. What you didn't mention is the very sad homeless situation where the city is not really coming up with any solutions but enabling the homeless to do all sorts of vile things and it's ok...very sad situation. But nicely done video again Briggs!
Also born, bred and raised in Seattle...also 1955. Yes the homeless situation is quite a mess and the way the police have been prevented from doing anything meaningful about it. After living 27 years in the Yakima Valley, I returned to Seattle in 2008. I can't afford to live in Seattle. We now live in Bremerton. Same short summer and long gloomy winter, but the rent is a bit more affordable...a bit.
I love Seattle! But its not the same as it was... I came to Seattle, in '79. It breaks my heart, it angers me, It makes me sad... I hope it makes it, but it will be without me. The pathetic, destructive mayor, only shows disrespect, and lawlessness. A sad state of affairs... THE MOST SICKENING PART IS THE SPINELESS. COWARDLY CITIZENS, SHEEP VOTERS. THE VOTER'S THAT ELECTED A CONVICTED FELON FOR GOVERNOR.... A SAD STORY, THE FALL OF A GREAT CITY, AND SOON, A GREAT STATE WILL FALL ALSO. AND ALL THE PEOPLE...DO NOTHING.
You failed to mention the ridiculous number of homeless and transients. Absolutely insane. And Seattle might be a great place to visit, but it's not a great place to live.
I think he avoided it because he mentioned it on other videos before. Which I don't mind. It got to a point where every major city had the same problems: crime (homelessness), education, traffic, politics, cost of living and weather. It's good to see him mention other things
That's pretty ubiquitous on the west coast it seems. Mostly a housing issue -- not enough, drives the price up for what they've got, makes it harder to get a home in general.
Some years back, my brother moved to Seattle. He found out it isn't the place you move to THEN look for work. They ended up living in Trenton with a blood stain on the ceiling. A month earlier, the guy upstairs was murdered in a home invasion. So, if you are moving to Seattle, make sure you are making enough money so you don't end up in Trenton. You might die their. My brother subsequently moved out after five years and went to live in LA of all places.
There is no suburb of Seattle named "Trenton". I should know, I live here. Do you mean Renton perhaps? Because that IS a real name of a Seattle suburban town.
I'm a Seattle native, I was born at Swedish Hospital in 1965. Everything you said in this video is 100% correct. Seattle was much nicer before half the state of California decided to move here in the 80's.
That's the normal pattern for the past 25-30 years. Locals don't have a thought either way on California people until they move, then the attitude turns negative to Cal people. Problem is they don't change and adapt to the new location. But insist on irritating locals with whining about how things were done better in Cal.and vote to recreate the cesspool they abandoned.
I lived in Seattle in the 70s. It was clean then. I was 12 when I moved there with my family. I left and was shocked when returned in the late 80s three years after I left. Needles everywhere. My friends ( natives) have all left Seattle to live in outside of Seattle proper.
Hey uh Washington native here, born and raised. The fact you said about summer is a little inaccurate, the summer is more like June-August and like maybe the first two weeks of September if we’re lucky lol. But yes lots of rain, in fact as I’m writing this Monday June 15th it’s pouring!
I’ve lived in San Francisco and currently live in Seattle, and Seattle is not quite near the level San Francisco is yet. People blow it way out of proportion.
Can’t even compare. At least SF has more to offer. Seattle wants to be like SF but never will be. The only similarities are: stupid liberals, homeless everywhere, and near body of water.
Another reason not to move to Seattle is that it sits on the Cascadia Subduction Zone. Seattle and other cities that sit on the fault line or actually overdue for the "Big One".
Wow my comment thread went "Left" if you know what I mean lol. I don't believe anyone deserves to die regardless of their political association. I'm pretty much and Independent voter at this point, although I lean a little more democrat (Because they have more policies in place that benefit minorities like me). At the end of the day both parties can be full of shit though.
I live near Seattle & honestly I just hate the area. Washington is beautiful but People are offended by everything & no one has their own opinion on anything. High homeless & drug abuse rate, horrible politics, & bad weather. The traffic is so bad here & it has spread out to the outlying areas which makes going anywhere miserable. We can’t wait to move out of this state.
The fact that virtually no one is from Seattle anymore tells you all you need to know. Since the people that were born and raised there have left, that tells you that it sucks.
All pretty accurate, tips! Speaking as someone who was born and raised in the Greater Seattle Area, I avoid Seattle itself like the plague. It’s gotten very crowded, dirty and overrun with the homeless. There is a lot of cool history and things to do in Seattle, of course, but - Briggs is right when he says it’s EXPENSIVE! Traffic is AWFUL going in and out of the city, for sure. We say that Seattle is an hour away from Seattle.
My husband and I moved to Seattle---TWICE. The first time, we were newlyweds---1981---it was INCREDIBLE, fantastically beautiful and reasonable rents. Lived in the Queen Anne neighborhood, God it was gorgeous. Moved away in 1983 (work related) but moved back in 1989----this time we had two small children. Already we detected major growth changes starting to drive all the prices up. But, both times we had the monthly bus passes and the public bus system there was amazingly good. I'm serious---we did not need a car except for grocery store trips and such. I loved Seattle then---but we moved away in 1991 and didn't look back. Life moves on and such. Thanks for the video, I enjoyed seeing the sights, but the overcrowding and so forth makes me sad.
Star Dust, the Queen Anne neighborhood is my favorite. I never lived in Seattle, but I used to travel there somewhat regularly and loved the town, even when not summer. A friend who’d only been there to interview happened to ask me what I liked. When she accepted the job in the mid-2010’s, she moved to Queen Anne Hill and loved it.
My brother lived there and loved it. It got tough around 2000 with the busted .com, then slowly rebuilt. He lived between downtown and UW and often saw people emerging from the dumpster in the back lot. When the sun came out, it was emerald green and gorgeous though, with next to no litter. Now? It makes me sad.
Susan Howell, your name is familiar to me. I used to know a Susan Howell who worked on Y10K and even Y100K problems. Those are not typos and are definitely different from Y2K problems.
On traffic you forgot to mention there are very FEW freeways and NO room for more. I-5 which is the only real freeway squeezes down to 2 lanes and runs under the convention center. Dead in the middle of the city........ It is actually much worse than Los Angeles, where at least you can get off the freeway and take side streets. Cannot do that in Seattle. East-West is few and far between. Too many lakes for that! North-South is 1-5.
How about the top10 reasons to fence it off ? Just moved , I lived across the sound from that cesspool looks better from my rear view mirror than my living room window
1.) the Seattle Freeze 2.) the People 3.) the Protesters. Even before Chaz, the Seattle Freeze is one of the worst things I've ever experienced. I'm surprised it wasn't the number 1 reason. I'd much rather deal with people in NYC.
I remember my parents bought a house in White Center for 12k in late 1960's but same house on Zillow was 500k today. Not much done to the house but rugs taken out.
I knew weather, traffic and housing were going to be on the list. :-) I'm one of those rare folks who was born and raised in Vancouver BC. I know that "everybody is from somewhere else" feeling.
Non-moving traffic is by FAR the #1 complaint of Seattle area residents I've talked to. They claim people who car commute bring dinner/supper/lunch with them and small urine catching jugs.
It's all too real. Not just Seattle either. It's like you cross over the state line and suddenly everyone is angry for no reason. Really creepy place imo.
Update for you , Seattle no longer has the Alaska Way . The famous tunnel replaced it ( sort of ) . Read up on the fiasco that was Big Burtha the tunneling machine and it's troubles .
When I first moved to the Seattle area I moved to Snohomish county, and most of my friends were Washington natives, and this surprises me because I was told that I would not meet any Seattle natives. Of course that’s a suburban area of the greater Seattle metro so it’s obviously not the same, but it did throw me off a bit
It's the same across the northern fringes of the US. Only difference is the North Central gets cold, dry winds while Seattle gets cold, wet winds even in summer. I've been and have friends there who're life long residents but they live well outside Seattle city proper.
It's very nice that folks keep chickens in the city of Seattle. Fresh eggs ARE nice. If you've never had freshly laid eggs, you don't know what you're missing. I live in northern Arkansas in a small town that folds up the sidewalks around 7 PM. I did have chickens in the backyard, but I considered my neighbors and did not have a rooster. Hens eat scraps and bugs and leftover cat food (from my picky Persian). I think of them as mini-velociraptors.
I've been requesting this for some time and Briggs never does my requests. 😠 I've been asking for one on top microbrew cities and always get a lot of upvotes. What's up Briggs? 🤷♂️
I was born in Tacoma, lived there until 1970. moved to Seattle to finish at the UofW and never went back. I lived there until 1992 when I moved about 7mi north of the city. My son, a computer nerd, like myself, lives about a block and a half from the CHOP. I got his report on his visit this afternoon at about 11pm Pacific tonight and he saw no ANTIFA and no armed guards unlike what one report said that doesn't have a clue. Without knowledge of the History and the demographics of the area makes the reports one sees for the most part just plain B.S.
Chickens - that's interesting! One thing I saw frequently on St Croix, USVI was chickens on the loose. The chickens and the Crucians don't seem to mind each other, though.
Anecdotal report (30-year native): 2014: Housing skyrocketed after Amazon headquartered in Seattle. Someone who just moved from NYC (2021) told me he thinks cost of living is significantly worse in Seattle than NYC. 2015: Traffic went from "bad" to "terrible." 2016: Trump Derangement Syndrome pandemic hits... work was more like "therapy" for people in Seattle to espouse their grievances. It's the dominant ethos. 2020: People took to the COVID lockdowns fairly seriously and earnestly. We're doing pretty good by the numbers, it would appear as a result. 2020: Traffic goes from bad to mild! A silver-lining to the Coronavirus pandemic. And with widespread adoption of "work from home," promoted by tech companies like Microsoft, a significant amount of commuter traffic may be alleviated in the future. People I know who do it, love it. We'll see if that ends up helping the traffic situation. It certainly wouldn't help the introvert problem. Economy: There's lots of money in Seattle if you break into the tech industry. That is clearly the benefit of computer-based industries: Revenue goes through the roof because the computers do all the work and there's relatively little cost to scaling up. Also lots of money in typical corporate stuff here if you aspire to senior leadership or fit into their supporting structures, accounting, finance, or data stuff like BI. Starbucks is here, Bartell's is here, etc, etc. Otherwise, the people who play it straight in the more operational/manufacturing industries seem to congregate in the South around Kent and Tacoma, WA (Costco, Boeing, Amazon Fulfilment). There are some quiet, badass vets who live to the North. Environment: Overcast. People talk about the rain, but I eventually realized it's the overcast clouds that really kills you. Constant clouds. No sun. No stars at night. However, temps are extremely mild, no bugs or snakes. So the environment here is about as "soft" as you can get. Similarly, the culture is also like this, for better or for worse. Trait "agreeable" people, thus it's a very polite, nonconfrontational place. Culture: There are, or were previously plenty of artists around. Most of the artistically inclined people I know have since gotten too caught up with politics to be contributing anything creative to "the scene". The radio station KEXP seems to be an example of this decline. The nihilists and heroin users who previously created Grunge probably can't afford anything anymore and are now just normal bums, because there is no music. However, I've met some pretty cool people involved in gaming stuff this decade. Tons of studios here. VR was heating up in 2017 but I don't know if that's still a thing anymore. Digipen is a gaming college that seems to pull in some far-flung creative nerds. That would probably make a great entry point if you can figure out a plan for money ;)
Totally accurate and fair account of Seattle Briggs. I love Seattle and I live here, but it has its issues like any big city. Since COVID some of these things have gotten even worse, like other places. It’s becoming a city for singles, families are being pushed out by housing practices (density) and a lot of mediocre schools. We’re lucky to be in a good one with our son, but once he graduates, we’ll likely leave due to affordability, mostly very high property taxes. It’s a great place if you’re single and make a lot of money.
Briggs love the channel! Seattle does have the light rail system that goes from UW to the airport. They are almost finished with the extension east to Bellevue and north to North Gate. System is expanding beyond those points too. Cleveland expat here, go Browns!
Last August I went to Washington state mainly for a bass music festival at the Gorge, but i got to visit Seattle a little bit as well and It seemed a really cool city to me. I met the coolest and kindest people I ever meet, seriously, everyone were super polite to me and my friend. I do hope to get back one day and why not perhaps living in Seattle. Greetings from italy ❤️

Hope you have a wonderful day and take care .
I was born in Seattle and raised in the area. But like most natives I left the area Here are a few differences I have. First, summer begins before August 1. Summer weather traditionally began about July 12, now maybe July 1. What is new weather-wise is that smoke season begins August 1, and it runs until it rains. It’s so bad, it’s unsafe. Also regarding weather, it gets hotter than LA there. Yes - Seattle has a higher high than LA. That is exacerbated by the fact that few people have air conditioners there - it’s like a tradition. And the rain - it’s a misty-like rain. When this happens, which is during much of the year, it seems colder than Alaska. Traffic has gotten ever worse - at least before I left in 2017. There won’t be a viable mass-transit system until the 2030s. This is due to a thing called “The Seattle Consensus,” which means that infrastructure projects drag on for decades - they take the length of a career to be viable. If WFM takes off, it will get better, but that looks like it’s pulling back somewhat. I saw traffic get ever so worse from 1988 - when regular traffic jams first started popping up there - until 2017, when it took two hours to get to work each way (whereas it took a little over half that in 2003).
Hey Briggs, I'm a big fan of your channel and I watch every video you post. I first watched your video about Indianapolis, which is where I live was pretty accurate the cons living in Indianapolis. I find your narration hilarious and educational. Keep up the good work. Side note: Indianapolis has a nightmarish pothole problem every year lol. Btw, I appreciate your service. Stay healthy.
Not arguing with Mr. Briggs, in fact _agreeing_ with him: Education ≠ Wisdom. One can be very very educated, and have very little wisdom or common sense.
This is my favorite one you've done so far. I grew up in the greater Puget Sound area (Seattle 71-78, Snohomish 78-84, 85-2007 as far north as Sedro Wooley, as far east as Moses Lake, and as far South as West Seattle. Summer - usually starts by July. It's Seattle, no weather is guaranteed at any given time. Not even August. Cruise Season - the majority of people in Seattle aren't impacted... as they avoid downtown like, well.. I'd say a plague but we've seen that people don't avoid plagues. Traffic - growing up around there, I would tell people coming to the region that traffic was bad. They would say I'm from X, Y, Z... and I would laugh at them. Seattle spent 20 years in the top 10 worst traffic and breaking the top 5 wasn't unusual. I used to work in Kirkland and it would take me up to 2 hours to get home to North Seattle. That was no where near as bad as when I lived in Everett and worked near Factoria Square.
Despite everything going on. Seattle is still one of my favorite major US cities to visit in my opinion. Would live there if it wasn't so damn expensive.
Seattle and the surrounding area is gorgeous.....BUT your car will most likely get stolen or broken into without a garage.....and the fuckin homeless/drug addicts RUIN it. (Downtown smells like piss and needles everywhere) I moved there and moved away from there 2 years later. And if you're movin there for the music scene....DON'T....the music scene and bar scene BLOWS. EVERYONE talks about how it used to be and...."shoulda been here 15 years ago".....they're all stuck in the past and LOVE to talk about how it USED to be.
Funny how you said the settlers didn't think Seattle would ever be a big city. As a fun fact, They did! When the Denny Party arrived on Friday the 13th, 1851, the settled in West Seattle and called it New York Alki, which is a Duwamish word meaning, "Some day". They indeed wanted to be the New York of the West. But conditions turned out to be less than optimal, so they moved to what is now Pioneer Square on April Fool's Day, 1852. There is a six foot statue of Liberty at Alki Beach to commemorate the landing of the Denny Party.
@@brandtonwebb4597 I agree that parts of it are trash, but it's hard to imagine all of Ohio being trash. Cedar Point Amusement park is Sandusky, Ohio is likely the #1 reason it still gets a number of tourists. I'm not happy living here in my hometown state which is Illinois.
3:27 Yup! In San Diego, Orange County, Riverside and Los Angeles County their are 9 months of Summer. But then there is fall for 3 months which is technically Winter unless you live in the mountains.
Correction, I think the protesters started in Seattle and spread to Portland, not the other way around- remember Battle in Seattle, it was also in Seattle that they actually seized several blocks and were run by a homeless warlord LARPing a mad max movie.
*WHICH MAJOR U.S. CITY* - Wud you recommend to move to where house renting is not crazy expensive BUT at the same time everything is great, nearby and basically a fine place to move to....
I lived in Seattle and moved when I was 20. Glad to be out of there! The temperature hits above 85 about ten days a year and nobody needs air conditioning.
Matthew Walton it’ll snow a few inches two or three times a year and everything shuts down completely. No snow removal equipment and a lot of hills. It usually melts by noon 🕛
Matthew Walton not as many... the city completely closes and no one ventures out. Snow delay only applies to those of us who get REAL SNOW ❄️. Seattle shuts down everything for a few inches, and nobody is expected in until the next day. All public transportation and buses are canceled for the day as well!
Take it from a life long trucker...from Vancouver BC down to San Diego you have to get at least 100 miles inland befor you'll meet REAL people. The only thing that can straighten out the West Coast would be a 9.9 ten minute shaker.
Oh funny fact, my ex-girlfriend has a chicken coup in her backyard in the suburbs. Same story how she talked about the benefits owning chickens, you get free eggs, actual chicken eggs are healthier than eggs in stores, and how she never grew up in a farm. She googled how to tend chickens. I nearly suckered myself helping her.
I'll admit, I moved here in 2008 because of being priced out of San Diego, I do love the place but I see the same things happening here that did in San Diego, just know that when the ghetto areas become nicer that means it's not long until your city is only affordable for the billionaires club
I was almost to move to Seattle for my husband’s new job. I prayed to God which is the best place to live and good school for our son. God gave us Ohio instead of Seattle. Thank god we don’t live there. Seattle is dying and dangerous city because of homelessness, drug addiction, riots and political corruption.
Seattle is not dangerous at all. Is violence there, sure. I've been to Cleveland, Columbus and Dayton. Compared to those cities, Seattle was like being in a daycare.
Very informative, and well-made video. I use to wanna visit Seattle based off its appearence, but changed my mind about that, and so far don't regret it after watching this. I'm always more motivated to visit certain places where I know someone. I don't know anyone in Seattle.
As someone who drives over the cascades to Eastern Washington 4 times a month, I appreciate the sun a lot more there than I do on the west side of the mountains
It's all true. And there are more bad things! I live here. It is a beautiful city. But it has horrible politics. And we haven't reached rock bottom yet.
The Alaskan Way Viaduct is no more. Now we have the tunnel. Number one reason not to move to Seattle is that we really don't want you to move here. It makes housing more scarce and therefore more expensive. Why do you think so many of us native Seattlites have moved away? King, Snohomish and Pierce counties are the fastest growing areas in WA State...and they are all experiencing growing pains. And yes, traffic blows. It's like people forget how to drive in the rain after a few days without it and OMG, is that a snowflake? Just abandon your vehicle in the middle of the road and walk...I'm not joking. This is the only place that I've ever lived where a trip that would normally only take 15 minutes, can take over an hour during rush hours. Plan ahead.
No. Thats not true. When the US was formed our founding fathers took a vote. One side would get all the toxic waste dumps, and the other would get all the lawyers. The west coast had first pick. Thats why there are so many lawyers on the east coast. Didn't you learn that in school ?
Hey Briggs, do you think you could do a Top 10 Reasons to Move to Minnesota? I know it's a state you like, and you and I both know that it's gotten a very bad rep lately due to the rioters. Any chance you could do a positive video on it to remind people that it's so much more than just the twin cities?

All pretty accurate, tips! Speaking as someone who was born and raised in the Greater Seattle Area, I avoid Seattle itself like the plague. It’s gotten very crowded, dirty and overrun with the homeless. There is a lot of cool history and things to do in Seattle, of course, but - Briggs is right when he says it’s EXPENSIVE! Traffic is AWFUL going in and out of the city, for sure. We say that Seattle is an hour away from Seattle.
My husband and I moved to Seattle---TWICE. The first time, we were newlyweds---1981---it was INCREDIBLE, fantastically beautiful and reasonable rents. Lived in the Queen Anne neighborhood, God it was gorgeous. Moved away in 1983 (work related) but moved back in 1989----this time we had two small children. Already we detected major growth changes starting to drive all the prices up. But, both times we had the monthly bus passes and the public bus system there was amazingly good. I'm serious---we did not need a car except for grocery store trips and such. I loved Seattle then---but we moved away in 1991 and didn't look back. Life moves on and such. Thanks for the video, I enjoyed seeing the sights, but the overcrowding and so forth makes me sad.
Star Dust, the Queen Anne neighborhood is my favorite. I never lived in Seattle, but I used to travel there somewhat regularly and loved the town, even when not summer. A friend who’d only been there to interview happened to ask me what I liked. When she accepted the job in the mid-2010’s, she moved to Queen Anne Hill and loved it.
My brother lived there and loved it. It got tough around 2000 with the busted .com, then slowly rebuilt. He lived between downtown and UW and often saw people emerging from the dumpster in the back lot. When the sun came out, it was emerald green and gorgeous though, with next to no litter.
Now? It makes me sad.
@@brookeking8559 must have money. That is a nice area.
Susan Howell, she does all right.
Susan Howell, your name is familiar to me. I used to know a Susan Howell who worked on Y10K and even Y100K problems. Those are not typos and are definitely different from Y2K problems.
If you don't have a podcast, start one. You have a great voice.

Can you do a video on "Why you should not move to the capital hil autonomous zone"?
If White get your $10 out to hand over.
Good suggestion.
AKA CHOP
Probably because there is a good chance you will probably be murdered?
Tim Pool mentioned it the other day, more and more property in Seattle coming on the market in recent weeks.
I'm lookin to buy some Capital Hill property. I hear it's dirt cheap right now.
@@toolshedjunky Hear they have some lovely gardens.
john morgan Hi there, I am a daily Tim Pool viewer.
@@mariahezeako8603 Yeh, and bring their perverted logic with them to recreate the cesspools they just fled from.
Its complicated
1: Stupid city council and residents thinking 200 police officers will be able to serve a city of 700000 plus
On traffic you forgot to mention there are very FEW freeways and NO room for more. I-5 which is the only real freeway squeezes down to 2 lanes and runs under the convention center. Dead in the middle of the city........ It is actually much worse than Los Angeles, where at least you can get off the freeway and take side streets. Cannot do that in Seattle. East-West is few and far between. Too many lakes for that! North-South is 1-5.
I drive all over the country for work (including LA). And I don't care what statistics say. Seattle has the worst traffic I have ever encountered b
Car does not work in the U district. Much faster to walk.
You can always see the statue of Lenin that no one tore down.
How about the top10 reasons to fence it off ? Just moved , I lived across the sound from that cesspool looks better from my rear view mirror than my living room window
If you don’t mind homelessness, open drug use, riots and a city council that supports lawlessness, Seattle is your city!
Exactly and I live in Seattle! I plan on moving to Alabama next year!
“Rioters are not protesters”-💯👍🏾😊
1.) the Seattle Freeze 2.) the People 3.) the Protesters. Even before Chaz, the Seattle Freeze is one of the worst things I've ever experienced. I'm surprised it wasn't the number 1 reason. I'd much rather deal with people in NYC.
I remember my parents bought a house in White Center for 12k in late 1960's but same house on Zillow was 500k today. Not much done to the house but rugs taken out.
My grandma lives in white center roxbury its trash here now
I knew weather, traffic and housing were going to be on the list. :-)
I'm one of those rare folks who was born and raised in Vancouver BC. I know that "everybody is from somewhere else" feeling.
Non-moving traffic is by FAR the #1 complaint of Seattle area residents I've talked to. They claim people who car commute bring dinner/supper/lunch with them and small urine catching jugs.
@@jameshickok2349 Then you are talking to socialists. And yes the traffic is bad. But that is not what is destroying SEATTLE.
The Seattle Freeze is a big deal. It's real.
Hey , you didn't mention the Seattle Freeze.
OrionSentry it’s over
Its real
It's going down because the friends you will make here, will likely be transplants, and as he mentioned, the transplant population is growing.
It's all too real. Not just Seattle either. It's like you cross over the state line and suddenly everyone is angry for no reason. Really creepy place imo.
Literally moved here from FL March 5th....good timing .....I'll be heading back to fl/CT .....I like it here, but don't think it's for me now
It sucks normally too.
Wherever you go there you are.
I hope you make a video of top 10 reasons not to move to Captial Hill Autonomous Zone aka CHAZ. :D
Update for you , Seattle no longer has the Alaska Way . The famous tunnel replaced it ( sort of ) . Read up on the fiasco that was Big Burtha the tunneling machine and it's troubles .
No way I actually wanted This
I looked for it today
When I first moved to the Seattle area I moved to Snohomish county, and most of my friends were Washington natives, and this surprises me because I was told that I would not meet any Seattle natives. Of course that’s a suburban area of the greater Seattle metro so it’s obviously not the same, but it did throw me off a bit
I’ve always wondered how many people came down with SADS after they have lived there for a number of years.
quarlic, or just one December.
ALL OF US! we just got used to it.
It's weird how it is dusk there at 4:30 in afternoon during winter time.
Wow that's depressing as hell.
4pm at the winter solstice. But 10pm at the summer solstice. :-)
In places like Seattle, time is measured in shades of grey.
It's the same across the northern fringes of the US. Only difference is the North Central gets cold, dry winds while Seattle gets cold, wet winds even in summer. I've been and have friends there who're life long residents but they live well outside Seattle city proper.
Only place you can have lunch and watch the sun go down
It's very nice that folks keep chickens in the city of Seattle. Fresh eggs ARE nice. If you've never had freshly laid eggs, you don't know what you're missing. I live in northern Arkansas in a small town that folds up the sidewalks around 7 PM. I did have chickens in the backyard, but I considered my neighbors and did not have a rooster. Hens eat scraps and bugs and leftover cat food (from my picky Persian). I think of them as mini-velociraptors.
A year ago today I flew to Seattle for vacation and had an amazing adventure with a friend there. I love it there and cant wait to go again!!!
Do one on Tacoma Washington please!
I've been requesting this for some time and Briggs never does my requests. 😠 I've been asking for one on top microbrew cities and always get a lot of upvotes. What's up Briggs? 🤷♂️
Mayor Jenny, Antifa, CHAZ/CHOP come to mind.
Antifa doesn’t even exist.
Everything is way to expensive in seattle these days. Parking alone is $20 all over the city.
That is not unusual for any major city.
#1 it turn into Chaz, the end.
And now CHOP?
@@volleyballvideos6426
CHOP ???
@@volleyballvideos6426 IHOP!
@Uncle Thomas
WOW
I wonder what's next
@Uncle Thomas Try to keep up. CHOP is dead. It changed again. Now, it's the Seattle Pedestrian Antifa Zone.
I was born in Tacoma, lived there until 1970. moved to Seattle to finish at the UofW and never went back. I lived there until 1992 when I moved about 7mi north of the city. My son, a computer nerd, like myself, lives about a block and a half from the CHOP. I got his report on his visit this afternoon at about 11pm Pacific tonight and he saw no ANTIFA and no armed guards unlike what one report said that doesn't have a clue. Without knowledge of the History and the demographics of the area makes the reports one sees for the most part just plain B.S.
Reasons to move to Seattle
1. Weed
2. Weed
3. Jobs 4. Chickens
Cannabis in Seattle is twice the price of MJ in Denver.
Stanko50 have you had the weed in the Pacific Northwest? puts Colorado weed to fucking shameee.
@@Zacharysharkhazard I actually think its the other way around
Chickens - that's interesting! One thing I saw frequently on St Croix, USVI was chickens on the loose. The chickens and the Crucians don't seem to mind each other, though.
It's just a fad.
Chazz is more than enough reason for me to go somewhere else
And let the MARXIST SOCIALISTS WIN OUR CITY. NEVER, NEVER NEVER 💯.
Anecdotal report (30-year native):
2014: Housing skyrocketed after Amazon headquartered in Seattle. Someone who just moved from NYC (2021) told me he thinks cost of living is significantly worse in Seattle than NYC.
2015: Traffic went from "bad" to "terrible."
2016: Trump Derangement Syndrome pandemic hits... work was more like "therapy" for people in Seattle to espouse their grievances. It's the dominant ethos.
2020: People took to the COVID lockdowns fairly seriously and earnestly. We're doing pretty good by the numbers, it would appear as a result.
2020: Traffic goes from bad to mild! A silver-lining to the Coronavirus pandemic. And with widespread adoption of "work from home," promoted by tech companies like Microsoft, a significant amount of commuter traffic may be alleviated in the future. People I know who do it, love it. We'll see if that ends up helping the traffic situation. It certainly wouldn't help the introvert problem.
Economy: There's lots of money in Seattle if you break into the tech industry. That is clearly the benefit of computer-based industries: Revenue goes through the roof because the computers do all the work and there's relatively little cost to scaling up. Also lots of money in typical corporate stuff here if you aspire to senior leadership or fit into their supporting structures, accounting, finance, or data stuff like BI. Starbucks is here, Bartell's is here, etc, etc. Otherwise, the people who play it straight in the more operational/manufacturing industries seem to congregate in the South around Kent and Tacoma, WA (Costco, Boeing, Amazon Fulfilment). There are some quiet, badass vets who live to the North.
Environment: Overcast. People talk about the rain, but I eventually realized it's the overcast clouds that really kills you. Constant clouds. No sun. No stars at night. However, temps are extremely mild, no bugs or snakes. So the environment here is about as "soft" as you can get. Similarly, the culture is also like this, for better or for worse. Trait "agreeable" people, thus it's a very polite, nonconfrontational place.
Culture: There are, or were previously plenty of artists around. Most of the artistically inclined people I know have since gotten too caught up with politics to be contributing anything creative to "the scene". The radio station KEXP seems to be an example of this decline. The nihilists and heroin users who previously created Grunge probably can't afford anything anymore and are now just normal bums, because there is no music. However, I've met some pretty cool people involved in gaming stuff this decade. Tons of studios here. VR was heating up in 2017 but I don't know if that's still a thing anymore. Digipen is a gaming college that seems to pull in some far-flung creative nerds. That would probably make a great entry point if you can figure out a plan for money ;)
Totally accurate and fair account of Seattle Briggs. I love Seattle and I live here, but it has its issues like any big city. Since COVID some of these things have gotten even worse, like other places. It’s becoming a city for singles, families are being pushed out by housing practices (density) and a lot of mediocre schools. We’re lucky to be in a good one with our son, but once he graduates, we’ll likely leave due to affordability, mostly very high property taxes. It’s a great place if you’re single and make a lot of money.
At least they are having a summer of fun, so says their beloved mayor. Just one big street party.
She's an idiot!
She called it the Summer of Love. And I just about puked when she said it.
Yes, she is very culpable in all this. She and Sawant.
Briggs love the channel! Seattle does have the light rail system that goes from UW to the airport. They are almost finished with the extension east to Bellevue and north to North Gate. System is expanding beyond those points too.
Cleveland expat here, go Browns!

Glad you like them!
@@WorldAccordingToBriggs They are so funny and I can get much knowledge.
Last August I went to Washington state mainly for a bass music festival at the Gorge, but i got to visit Seattle a little bit as well and It seemed a really cool city to me. I met the coolest and kindest people I ever meet, seriously, everyone were super polite to me and my friend.
I do hope to get back one day and why not perhaps living in Seattle.
Greetings from italy ❤️
You must have stopped at the local weed store before hand
I believe you most kindest people I've ever met lives in Washington.
@@Leonsmane Fake kindness.
@@ralphjohnson3202 believe it or not thier are kind and honest people in this highly negative world . I myself found out if you stay positive then everything will be OK, and when you stay negative then you'll end up meeting more of the same kind and it'll get you nowhere . Hope you have a wonderful day and take care .
I was born in Seattle and raised in the area. But like most natives I left the area Here are a few differences I have.
First, summer begins before August 1. Summer weather traditionally began about July 12, now maybe July 1. What is new weather-wise is that smoke season begins August 1, and it runs until it rains. It’s so bad, it’s unsafe.
Also regarding weather, it gets hotter than LA there. Yes - Seattle has a higher high than LA. That is exacerbated by the fact that few people have air conditioners there - it’s like a tradition.
And the rain - it’s a misty-like rain. When this happens, which is during much of the year, it seems colder than Alaska.
Traffic has gotten ever worse - at least before I left in 2017. There won’t be a viable mass-transit system until the 2030s. This is due to a thing called “The Seattle Consensus,” which means that infrastructure projects drag on for decades - they take the length of a career to be viable. If WFM takes off, it will get better, but that looks like it’s pulling back somewhat. I saw traffic get ever so worse from 1988 - when regular traffic jams first started popping up there - until 2017, when it took two hours to get to work each way (whereas it took a little over half that in 2003).
Hey Briggs, I'm a big fan of your channel and I watch every video you post. I first watched your video about Indianapolis, which is where I live was pretty accurate the cons living in Indianapolis. I find your narration hilarious and educational. Keep up the good work. Side note: Indianapolis has a nightmarish pothole problem every year lol. Btw, I appreciate your service. Stay healthy.
perfect timing for me... Might be on my way there soon. Cheers Dude!
Same here bro, let's be friends
I'll give you just One reason not to move to Seattle . Their completely Insane .
Maybe. But we know the difference between They're, their and there and how to use them correctly.

@@susanhowell1673 They both suck.
@@flakeyjake3339 typical. Bet you're progressive. 😀
Not arguing with Mr. Briggs, in fact _agreeing_ with him: Education ≠ Wisdom. One can be very very educated, and have very little wisdom or common sense.
This is my favorite one you've done so far. I grew up in the greater Puget Sound area (Seattle 71-78, Snohomish 78-84, 85-2007 as far north as Sedro Wooley, as far east as Moses Lake, and as far South as West Seattle.
Summer - usually starts by July. It's Seattle, no weather is guaranteed at any given time. Not even August.
Cruise Season - the majority of people in Seattle aren't impacted... as they avoid downtown like, well.. I'd say a plague but we've seen that people don't avoid plagues.
Traffic - growing up around there, I would tell people coming to the region that traffic was bad. They would say I'm from X, Y, Z... and I would laugh at them. Seattle spent 20 years in the top 10 worst traffic and breaking the top 5 wasn't unusual. I used to work in Kirkland and it would take me up to 2 hours to get home to North Seattle. That was no where near as bad as when I lived in Everett and worked near Factoria Square.
Despite everything going on. Seattle is still one of my favorite major US cities to visit in my opinion. Would live there if it wasn't so damn expensive.
Seattle and the surrounding area is gorgeous.....BUT your car will most likely get stolen or broken into without a garage.....and the fuckin homeless/drug addicts RUIN it. (Downtown smells like piss and needles everywhere) I moved there and moved away from there 2 years later. And if you're movin there for the music scene....DON'T....the music scene and bar scene BLOWS. EVERYONE talks about how it used to be and...."shoulda been here 15 years ago".....they're all stuck in the past and LOVE to talk about how it USED to be.
Funny how you said the settlers didn't think Seattle would ever be a big city. As a fun fact, They did!
When the Denny Party arrived on Friday the 13th, 1851, the settled in West Seattle and called it New York Alki, which is a Duwamish word meaning, "Some day". They indeed wanted to be the New York of the West.
But conditions turned out to be less than optimal, so they moved to what is now Pioneer Square on April Fool's Day, 1852.
There is a six foot statue of Liberty at Alki Beach to commemorate the landing of the Denny Party.
I'm more than happy right here in Ohio.
What part of Ohio?
Brace Brooks any, Ohio is trash
Good. Stay there.
@@brandtonwebb4597 I agree that parts of it are trash, but it's hard to imagine all of Ohio being trash. Cedar Point Amusement park is Sandusky, Ohio is likely the #1 reason it still gets a number of tourists. I'm not happy living here in my hometown state which is Illinois.
Dang every one I know from Ohio or who currently lives there hates it
3:27 Yup! In San Diego, Orange County, Riverside and Los Angeles County their are 9 months of Summer. But then there is fall for 3 months which is technically Winter unless you live in the mountains.
Correction, I think the protesters started in Seattle and spread to Portland, not the other way around- remember Battle in Seattle, it was also in Seattle that they actually seized several blocks and were run by a homeless warlord LARPing a mad max movie.
*WHICH MAJOR U.S. CITY* - Wud you recommend to move to where house renting is not crazy expensive BUT at the same time everything is great, nearby and basically a fine place to move to....
If you can handle 105 degree heat Dan Antonio or Dallas. Plus Texas has no income tax.

Look up "Seattle is dying"... KOMO News I believe.
That's an eyes wide open look at the horrific problems, which the residents brought on themselves via electing & reelecting leftist nut jobs.
That's a propaganda piece too
Ok the weather is perfectly fine it is not to hot, not to cold and it doesn’t rain to much
Honestly, I would love to move to Seattle, 1) if it wasn’t so dangerous, 2) if it was not so damn expensive...
I lived in Seattle and moved when I was 20. Glad to be out of there! The temperature hits above 85 about ten days a year and nobody needs air conditioning.
Does it ever snow? Or is it always just rain?
Matthew Walton it’ll snow a few inches two or three times a year and everything shuts down completely. No snow removal equipment and a lot of hills. It usually melts by noon 🕛
@@LC_from_MO Ah so snow delays 😂
Matthew Walton not as many... the city completely closes and no one ventures out. Snow delay only applies to those of us who get REAL SNOW ❄️. Seattle shuts down everything for a few inches, and nobody is expected in until the next day. All public transportation and buses are canceled for the day as well!

They're calling again!

Oh funny fact, my ex-girlfriend has a chicken coup in her backyard in the suburbs. Same story how she talked about the benefits owning chickens, you get free eggs, actual chicken eggs are healthier than eggs in stores, and how she never grew up in a farm. She googled how to tend chickens. I nearly suckered myself helping her.

"its always cloudy" people ACTUALLY from Seattle awkwardly looking out at the clear skies that have been there for two weeks lmaooo
I'll admit, I moved here in 2008 because of being priced out of San Diego, I do love the place but I see the same things happening here that did in San Diego, just know that when the ghetto areas become nicer that means it's not long until your city is only affordable for the billionaires club
💯
I was almost to move to Seattle for my husband’s new job. I prayed to God which is the best place to live and good school for our son. God gave us Ohio instead of Seattle. Thank god we don’t live there. Seattle is dying and dangerous city because of homelessness, drug addiction, riots and political corruption.
Seattle is not dangerous at all. Is violence there, sure.

@@nafajonit8854 we don't live in Cleveland, Columbus or Dayton.
Very informative, and well-made video. I use to wanna visit Seattle based off its appearence, but changed my mind about that, and so far don't regret it after watching this. I'm always more motivated to visit certain places where I know someone. I don't know anyone in Seattle.

It's all true. And there are more bad things! I live here. It is a beautiful city. But it has horrible politics. And we haven't reached rock bottom yet.
Damn Karens
Lots of folks do lists, but you're the most clever, funny and informative. Can you make a "10 things not to be like if making lists" video?
But honeslty, Ive never been to the west, and this was my number one city to go to before it went to trash.
The Alaskan Way Viaduct is no more. Now we have the tunnel.
Number one reason not to move to Seattle is that we really don't want you to move here. It makes housing more scarce and therefore more expensive. Why do you think so many of us native Seattlites have moved away? King, Snohomish and Pierce counties are the fastest growing areas in WA State...and they are all experiencing growing pains.
And yes, traffic blows. It's like people forget how to drive in the rain after a few days without it and OMG, is that a snowflake? Just abandon your vehicle in the middle of the road and walk...I'm not joking. This is the only place that I've ever lived where a trip that would normally only take 15 minutes, can take over an hour during rush hours. Plan ahead.
When God made the United States, he set it on a tilt and all the loose nuts rolled to the left coast.

No. Thats not true. When the US was formed our founding fathers took a vote. One side would get all the toxic waste dumps, and the other would get all the lawyers. The west coast had first pick. Thats why there are so many lawyers on the east coast. Didn't you learn that in school ?
