Seattle people are weird, isolated, and hyper political.

The tech scene drew too many software developers, many of which are not social or culturally aligned to the American lifestyle.

Many many other factors, but those are the two main ones I see.

H1Bs don’t know how to party obvi lol

Probably because they all started coming here in droves and ruin whatever good things we had going on. It's a trend that's happened in most major cities, newcomers displace the locals and cost of living starts going up.

R u?

1.) Cost to live in Seattle outweighs any large salary offered for newcomers. The opportunities are still there.
2.) Tech has been fairly flat for growth. Government jobs are reporting strong growth along with hospitality, and healthcare. Just what we need big government and higher taxes.
3.) The weather sucks 4 months out of the year, dark, lack of sunny days. It’s a beautiful place though.

I can tell you one thing I don't even know how Seattle was the dream destination for anyone haha. I don't know if it is just from living here for so long but I hate the weather here and if it weren't for my husband having a really good job here we would have already left.
