• Stands on a deserted street corner in the rain, waiting for the light to say walk. Did you know that Seattle police issue over 2500 citations a year to pedestrians jaywalking in downtown Seattle? Well, Seattleites can follow the "Don't Walk" lights to extremes. Once, while I was crossing the street, the "Walk" light started flashing "Don't Walk" just as I reached the middle of the intersection. Would you believe, the pedestrian right beside me turned around, and walked back to the corner we started from!
• Have been "snow" skiing in the RAIN more than in the snow.
• When discussing rainforests and volcanoes, NOT talking about Hawaii.
• Groans when Seattle gets listed as one of the best places to live. At all costs, Seattleites do NOT want to encourage ANY MORE people to move to Seattle.
