Well obviously you haven't lived in Seattle because if you did you would know the body of water separating Seattle and Bellevue is Lake Washington. Not a bay.

I live west across the Salish sea on sunny bainbridge island, natch.
Nice attempt at recovery but your comment still doesn't make sense. You were talking about Seattle, and then suggested Bellevue was "greener pastures." Not that Seattle was "greener pastures" from Bainbridge lol.

Also you just admitted that you don't live in Seattle. So I rest my case.

It always plays out like this.

"Downtown seattle is a war zone, if you don't live there you can't understand!"

Then it turns out they live in Enumclaw.

It’s all love and horses in Enumclaw.
The world's most tired comment.
It takes a lot of energy to love a horse.
I mean mid Covid that wasn’t far off. The meth tent vibe in pioneer square was oppressive. You won’t convince me Seattle is a good walking city ever, but I agree it’s much better now and arguably the water front is the best it’s been ever. Still not good though.
But couldn’t they have lived in Seattle before moving? I don’t follow your logic.
