What's life like in Seattle? I see a lot of in-house jobs there but not sure about a move out there. I hear summers are wonderful but the rest of the year is meh. Is SAD a thing there?

The creative community in this town is lifeless.

Agree. Seattle has a weak creative scene.

It's like living in a fantasy land. Amazing food. Best coffee in the country. Great bars. Music. Very active outdoors culture. Great people.

It rains a lot in winter. A LOT. But it's not usually heavy rain, and it often dissipates by sunset. Green from the trees and the amount of lakes and such sorta compensates lack of blue sky, but if you are affected by SAD then it can be tough.

Absolutely most beautiful summer city in the country.

Don’t forget about the Seattle Freeze! Super high cost of living and God awful traffic. Seems like life is great in this town for in house product designers, UX/UI, writers, etc... but for folks with an advertising skill set it sure feels like slim ass Pickens.

It’s rained all week here. So it’s definitely not just winter.

It’s expensive

I love my boyfriend more than anything in the world. He truly is a loving, amazing, caring, and compatible (with me) human being. I think of and bring up future problems that may arise (ex: his family being too conservative and controlling, money awkwardness, handling kids with two high powered careers, etc.). Am I being responsible/forward-looking or am I just ruining a really good thing?

Hey fellow fish. I’m wanting some reference to an eclectic editing style that incorporates a bunch of filmic styles into the narrative. Not in a Womb Stories way, but more in an Uncommon B&Q Build a Life way. The reference I’m thinking of cuts away to vintage black and white footage and even old cartoons. I just can’t for the life of me remember what it was for. Any suggestions would be massively appreciated!
