I've always thought Seattle was one of the prettiest cities to fly in and out of on a sunny day. Needless to say, that's a bit of a secret.

Seattle is an amazing city. I have gone twice over the past few years to infest your city with my nerdiness at PAX and it has always been amazing. This time I stayed a few days longer and got to actually see parts of the city.

Unfortunately it'll be about another 200 days until we see the sun again. Summer is about 80 days of uninterrupted sunlight, and the rest of the year is overcast. And that's barely an exaggeration.

Seattle is a great city!

In August, September, and October.

Otherwise, it rains so much, that people stay inside all day writing code, or poetry, or music, or just being fucking depressed. Great beer, great town, but never ever go to a poetry reading in February.

I used to always want to move to Seattle. Every time I visited I wanted to stay. So, two and a half years ago my husband changed jobs and two adults, a child, four cats, and a fetus flew west.

And I love it here. :) If it was near to my family it'd be absolutely perfect.

Two more blocks or so to the right in that picture and I'd be able to see my house. I think it's a great shot, as it's not an angle of Seattle you often see.

All the rain and gray skies we get doesn't seem so bad when you get views like this on a nice sunny day. It really isn't that bad, the actual rain accumulation is a lot less than other places, it just seems like more because it rains lightly for a long period of time, instead of pouring down for a shorter time. Washington state is just a great fucking place to live!

i went to seattle for the first time last month for my brother's wedding. he moved out there about ten years ago, the same time i moved to nashville. I always thought nashville was a decently cool city, but holy crap. my wife is getting pissed because i won't shut up about how awesome seattle was. but seriously, it's the coolest US city i've visited yet. I'm trying to convince my wife to move there.

missingsf · 1 year

Ex-Seattleite here. I lived for the views flying in and out. Mt. Rainier is astoundingly beautiful. I asked my gf at the time who Rainier was to which she responded "It's an Indian name". Yeah....not the brightest nail in the harbor.

favorite view of the city that doesnt require a chartered plane is from the bainbridge island ferry on its way in and out. around sunset when the buildings reflect all of the colors and the lights start to come on. love it.

Flying into Seattle - Mt Rainier in the clouds

The Northwest is beautiful. I dont think its the rain that gets to you as much as the darkness. Seattle is pretty far north. You go about 8 months solid without a peak of sunlight which is hard enough but in the winter sunrise is around 8 am and sunset is around 4pm. If you work normal hours and dont have windows in your office its basically nighttime all the time. That said Seattle is a pretty decent city and the beauty of the Northwest kind of makes it worth it.

I used to hate flying back to the west side after visiting eastern Washington. Sunshine everywhere east of the Cascades but always perpetual overcast back home. I finally couldn't take it anymore and moved somewhere sunny.

I tried to explain to someone one time how ugly LA is to fly over, especially compared to Seattle. They seemed to think that was an odd thing to notice.

xoomerfy · 1 year

The plane is above my current work, on that note I was flying out of SeaTac going to CDG, We were flying North-- We flew over and banked right above my work I flipped it off-- it was pretty bad ass. I even knew the streets we were flying over-- Right at Rainier and McClellen. :)

I would normally say "FUCK the shitty weather we get here", but I guess it makes it that much more special when you can actually see the sky and the beautiful mountains.

Whenever I go to Seattle, it's not raining. I think it's a myth to keep people from discovering this beautiful city.

Also, my parents almost moved there before I was born, but decided to stay in the Philadelphia area instead. :(

Yea, I miss Seattle. I'm from California but I always wanted to move there. My Dad, took me on vacation one year, to Seattle and Vancouver. Best trip I think I ever had. We flew to Seattle and drove into Canada. I miss my teenage years....Thanks for sharing its now my background.

It's tough to beat "Mountain Days" in Seattle (the few days you can actually see Mt. Rainer). Strangely, I have come to enjoy the rain up here as well as the cold Autumn days when the sun is out and the trees are vibrant with color. After that, it's bunker-down mode until the gray lifts sometime next May.

LettersFromTheSky · 1 year

Seattle also lies on a few fault lines and is built right where a lahar type event from Mt.Rainer would occur if it ever erupts. I only know this could I had to do a research paper about it for a geology class I took in college awhile ago.

manustillflops · 1 year

It really is. The first time I flew in was a storied cloudless day in Seattle. Everything was so bright and green and I made the comment to the people I was going in to see and that not something I'd normally do at all, but even I couldn't help but notice.

Procreate_Rapidly · 1 year

When I first moved to Seattle, I had never driven in the city before. When I rolled into town, with all my possessions in the back of my pickup truck, it had been raining the ENTIRE way from California.... until I got to Seattle proper, in the morning. A rainbow crossed the sky, the sun came out from behind the clouds and sparkled on the water of the sound, and I felt like I had come home.

I went to Seattle in early 2009, I fell in love with it as soon as I saw Mt.Rainier and the rest of the north western volcano chain from the air. It was one thing sitting in a lecture hall hearing about it and seeing photographs of these huge structures, but to actually see it, blew my mind.

The sensation of stepping off that aircraft and feeling that 50 degree temperature was incredible. (coming from the august heat of summer in Texas)

I booked a room at the Green Tortoise. Explored the city, the piers, Boeing, ate some awesome food, hung out in cool bars. Took the ferry over to bainbridge island. Just awesome, I can't wait to return and make the trek up to Vancouver!

but the bums tho, sheesh!

yutfree · 1 year

I've lived here for most of the last 23 years. I'm stuck her now because my daughter lives here, and I would never leave her without a dad. But for fuck's sake, the lack of sunshine here makes all of us--even the heartiest and happiest soul--want to kill ourselves several times each year.

sparktika · 1 year

I grew up here and still live here. I had no idea how great I had it until I traveled. I used to long to go live in other cities, but now, whenever I travel, I come home and realize that while other places are great to visit, there really is no other place I'd want to live.

How about the volcano in the background ? Assuming it's Mount Rainier, aren't you all going to die ? Or is wikipedia part of the conspiracy to keep other people away from this awesome place ? I'm not a US redditor so don't worry about me flying over anyway.

Oh well Hawaii for Christmas vacation :-)

[deleted] · 1 year

I must disagree. Flying into something like that, looks like a cancer to me. I am sure there is plenty to do but it just does not make up for the lack of open spaces and sunlight.
