...it's nice.
I was at a birthday party last night for a friend of my wife. The host lives right on the water in West Seattle. Not bad. Not bad at all.

sssssh, don't tell anybody!!!
A dude in my squadron is from Georgia, and has been bitching about how it doesn't get hot and muggy enough here in the summers for him. Well then go back...
I saw the same view last night basically, but I didn't have my camera. Looking at the picture is more peaceful than being at carkeek park though. I Need to find a more quiet place to watch the sunset.
Generally the weather has been perfect, but this past weekend was perfecter.
<<SIGH>> thanks for the Seattle summer stoke AD. Those are some beautiful shots!
They make you want to be there with a beer in hand, don't they? :)
Beer in hand with a job back in Seattle...that is what that picture makes me want.Quote:

By 'they', I thought you meant the screaming kids at carkeek park, to which I was going to agree about the beer part.Quote:

How about Discovery Park down by the lighthouse? All you have to do is forget there's a sewage treatment plant directly behind you :)Quote:

10 out of 10 sunny weekends in Seattle this summer...
Hopefully it means (usually does) a good snowfall this winter. Girlski, your requests are reasonable, and oh, so possible in this town....
Although I have a cubicle job - it lets me travel a fair amount. I even got a weekend in colorado last winter. We just signed on the Pacific Science Center and I've been up here since Thursday. Aaahhhh
Ahem. Those of you who don't live in Seattle, don't believe a word or picture posted in this thread. Seattle is a dreary, disgusting, boring, ugly town and no one in his or her right mind would even think about visiting here, much less relocating.
And Greenwater is even worse!
It is definately not 80 degrees and bright blue at my house in the west sound. ;)
Anyone planning on visiting Seattle should do so tomorrow or the next day. You will get to experience the real "Seattle in Late August". Just be sure to go home with your impressions of gray, cool, dreary dampness firmly in place before the weekend.
Before everyone on Earth decides to pack up and move to Seattle I think they should be warned there is plenty of this:

and this (black means a complete stop on the freeway):

and the average selling price of a King County home in may was $463,817.
oh, and although it really doesn't rain hard, it is cloudy almost two thirds of the year.
Yeah, but 45 minutes from Cubicle chair to Chair lift on a wednesday night in January is pretty suh-weet.
Feckin' miserable all year long here in Seattle... it's enough to make you take yer own life. Last week was especially bad :nonono2:
...and the views? Almost as bad as the weather :nonono2:
My hike today sucked. Hazy due to wildfires and nothing at all worth seeing.
Emmett Watson's Lesser Seattle lives on, as well it should! All that sunshine is easily photoshopped into the ambient gray. And gee, Greenwater must be a pretensious (that can't be the correct spelling) place, I saw some fancy bright red BMW sportscar parked there when I drove through two weekends ago.:wink:Quote:
