Seattle, Seattle

It's not a place that I plan to move back to. But it's a place that is very dear to my heart. 
Thinking about Seattle..

Seattle's overcast skies don’t put a damper on the vibrancy of life. There is crispness and excitement in the air. Cloudy days are beautiful, and it makes the sunny ones all the more exciting when the clouds decide to part. A modest beauty surrounds the city. Seattle knows it’s glory and the glory that surrounds it, but it keeps it secrete until that special sunny day when the ocean glistens and Mt. Rainier tantalizes the Seattle skyline with it’s snow-cap diving into the ceiling of the atmosphere. It’s surrounded with natural beauty, all four seasons, yet with a perfectly mild flavor and a general harmony with the earth. This is where city and nature meet. It’s where Mercedes and VW buses enjoy each others company on the road. It’s where healthy and indulgence realize that they don’t always have to be at odds. Seattle welcomes the corporate world, family lifestyles, and radical subcultures. 
To me, there has never been a more well rounded city.
