Can't wait to move away from #Seattle.
- Shootings in the "good" parts of town are becoming more frequent. My partner was stuck in a store lockdown yesterday because of a nearby shooting, and saw the body bag on her way back home.
- Our building is broken into a couple of times per month, with the expected property crimes following. My motorcycle was nearly stolen a while back and I had to have expensive repairs done on it because of the damage.
- Random people are screaming and throwing things when we're outside. We've even been assaulted a couple of times while being accosted.
- Everything is so expensive here!
- The weather over the past 6 months has been mostly terrible. I'm tired of downpours and want a better rain shadow.

Btw. the term "shooting" rings a bell using my Nikon....Not using a gun. So much for Europa...

Usually a lot of those people have no job... Tend to be agressive to strangers sometimes... That setting i had in mind.

in reply to dieter_wilhelm • •Yes, Seattle is working on that some, but some of these projects have rules that some unhoused don't wish to follow, so they aren't allowed to stay.
