I too was horrified by what I read. This place is so mellow that I couldn't conceive of people getting their shorts in a wad over something like this.

Baloney. Carry a Bush sign in Westlake Center and you will be threatened with death every 15 minutes. I guarantee it. You will be flipped off every single minute, spat at every 5 minutes, hollered at without end for the entire time.

Seattlites have their shorts in a wad about absolutely everything.

Only those who agree perfectly with the liberal / left line perceive mellowness from them.

I agree. I spent over a year in Seattle and I never saw anything like what is being described.

It is either an abberation or a fabrication.

I know Seattle is Ithica West, but it ain't fair to paint with this broad of a brush.
