Was considering a move to Seattle, then I saw “Seattle is dying” news report on YouTube. Has anyone seen this, and has a perspective? If I live in Bellevue or further is it cleaner/safer?

I loved living in Seattle. All the smart, interesting talent of SF without the douchiness. Plus skiing, hiking, awesome food and brewery scene, close to the San Juans, the Olympic Peninsula, Mt Rainier, Vancouver, Whistler... I would move back in a heartbeat.

C1 is right, Seattle is awesome.

Moved from Seattle in 2015 and really miss it. Was there for almost 15 years. Lived on the Eastside and worked downtown when I wasn’t traveling

I started dating this guy some months before covid struck.. he was literally crazy about me.

Sleeps or Vists his relatives or works on Sundays. Sometimes I feel he no longer loves me.

Be on the lookout for Attribution Bias in yourself & on your team. It's a hindrance to creating a high-performing, inclusive culture.

Food for thought: the US is actually one of the most racially conscious places I’ve ever lived. Not saying we don’t have a LONG way to go and that there isn’t immediate important work needed.
But the amount of allies this movement has is incredible. Keep in mind this is just my experience and may not represent others- however, in many of the other places I’ve lived or traveled to, racism is almost tacitly accepted. You wouldn’t have people calling out taxi drivers for ignorance for example
