The richest man in the world lives here, it rains 300 days out of the year, we have a volcano within killing distance, we have the space needle which is a UFO that was turned into a restaurant, there is a Giant Troll under one of our bridges that is holding a VW bug, we have a 70 story high rise (that's unique), people throw fish around at Pike's market place (very popular), 747, 737 & 787 airplanes are built here, we have HIGH sales tax and crappy highways, you have to pay to take a ferry across the water cause we're to stupid to build a bridge, the Blue Angle's do a show here every summer at the Sea Fair, our city can't handle a power outage very well which can leave people without power for over two weeks if we get hit by a storm, our speed limits are low cause the cities & state want more money from us, the original Starbucks downtown has a topless girl on their sign, if we have another big earthquake half of downtown will sink into the pudget sound cause it's land fill and the property owners don't know it, we have to pay sales tax when we order something online from Amazon.com cause they chose to have their corporate offices here, we spent millions to build two giant stadiums side by side instead of sharing just one, we have poorly regulated casino's all over that you can't put cash in (you have to put cash in a machine and get a ticket, put the ticket in the slot machine then cash the ticket if your lucky enough not to blow all your credits). Oh, did I say it rains allot?
