Lots of Rain in Seattle, but at least we are still nice.
Great article in the Washington Post today - In Seattle, the Hostile Crowd Is All Smiles
This is my favorite part, explaining why Seattleites are the way they are.
“Out on the Oregon Trail, pioneers made a decision that shaped our culture,” says Knute Berger, a Seattle-born writer and editor in chief of the Seattle Weekly, an alternative newspaper. “Some went south to California, to the land of milk and honey and gold. Others went north to live here in a dark forest in the rain. Seattle was not settled by a bunch of sensualists.”
Today is day 26 of rain. I’m looking forward to the party when we break the record of 33 next Friday.
