“...Seattle raised...”
That explains everything. Even here in Oakland we roll our eyes at the mere mention of Seattle.
I live near Seattle. It is the concentration of evil on the West Coast. It’s worse than SF, in that they are creating a new morality here and compelling you to conform to it. In SF, its amoral, which still leaves you with the freedom to choose who you want to be.
In Seattle, you either conform or be cast out. Of all the places I’ve ever lived, it is the most beautiful, but populated by the worst people, period. There’s no respite from the idiots anywhere.
