You don't deserve the downvotes.

I grew up in Seattle and still live there. If you voice any opinions that are not in a narrow band of the far left wing, they (including recent transplants) will attribute you holding that opinion to your place of origin, rather than listening to any justification you have for holding that opinion.

My girlfriend's company in Capitol Hill is super big on diversity. It's a huge part of their hiring process. They're about 50 to 60 people large. I asked her how many conservatives work there. Answer: zero.

Along some axes Seattle is very diverse. But along others not so much.

I don't believe you. How many ethnic people at her company? 3 Asians?
