I went to Seattle a couple weeks ago, and it was honestly the cleanest, most beautiful city I've ever been to. The people are pretty nice, too.

You never realize how lucky you are to live in Seattle until you leave it! Glad I came back. Other will love it just as much

Seattle is such an underrated city. Culture, entertainment, nature, and a truly beautiful skyline.

As a Seattleite, I loved this program. A lot has changed though. Best of all we tore down that elevated double decker freeway that used to go along the waterfront, replaced with a tunnel. New public spaces and walkways have been added. However, the past couple years have taken a toll on our beloved city. The pandemic, homelessness, and strife over racial and policing issues have left a lot of damage behind. It may take few years but we will rebuild and get back to the city we all love so much.

I have lived in Seattle for 26 years, and while I don’t go to many of the well known places very often never get tired of the beauty I am lucky to see everyday! ❤️

Seattle is one of the most expensive places to live but this is my home eventhough our family moved away. I took it for granted when we lived there. I pray that God bless my family to move back. Its heart breaking being away from home. One of the most beautiful place in this country. I love water and mountains. No city I have found like Seattle.

America is stunning country! The landscape is just amazing!

Mountain Rainer is so beatiful. If you have never been to Seattle, then you just have to see how beautiful it is in person. It's amazing!

I'm from Seattle, I have always loved it when someone has liked this city who are not from Seattle because I feel like this city doesn't get the biggest treatment or is commonly talked about and I feel like it should. I still like tourists who like Seattle though since it shows them the amazing things this city has.

[loveandminnesota]

I'm from Minneapolis but even I can agree this is one underrated city.

[vanhoaivuvo]
