7:12 you nailed it. It’s good to hear someone in Seattle actually acknowledge what the “homeless” crisis actually is. That gives me hope. Despite its flaws, Seattle still is an amazing city.

Take a look at Vancouver, all the Seattle pros but also a great downtown (which is basically dead in Seattle), a lot of huge parks (Stanley Park is the MVP of parks) and there is no i-5 dividing the city into two, and much better public transportation., You just do not need a car as much as in Seattle. I live near downtown in Seattle and its super hard to live without a car still.

Have to agree with you - Seattle is generally a car city. And I absolutely love Vancouver. I think there is currently a ban on foreigners buying residential property in Canada though.

While Vancouver is nice downtown, I find it to be a pretty boring city. Culturally, Seattle is way more vibrant.. and Seattle has more cool neighborhoods than Vancouver outside of downtown. Trying to find the equivalent of Capitol Hill, Ballard, Fremont etc they have a few okay areas outside of their downtown but not much really

I live in Everett, Washington (Port Gardner neighborhood. A city thats affordable in the Seattle area. Proud homeowner of a craftsman style home built in 1922. My neighborhood is very walkable to downtown, lots of restaurants and other amenities.

Having lived in Seattle for the past 20 plus years, it would have been great if you showed snippets of each of the areas that you were describing while you were enjoying your coffee. Just an idea for you. Maybe make a video on the eastside over the 90 or 520 and add the snippets. The eastside is a lovely area.

I live on my motor vessel on Lake Union. It’s a tight fit to find a marina that will let you live aboard. But it’s the least expensive living option within 2 miles of downtown. And it’s filled with adventure. I can spend a week away from the marina, working from the boat, taking an afternoon swim, all with million dollar views. Yet I am a born again, conservative Christian man who served in the Army as an Infantry Officer. All that to say my mere existence here can provoke people. If you’re ever interested I can introduce you to the boat life.

As a Seattle resident I recommend visiting Bellevue instead. Seattle is pretty bad and destroyed; drug addict and fentanyl smoke everywhere. He did a bad representation in this video via not highlighting that you will smell urine and see fentanyl smoking daily here anywhere you go in Seattle it’s dirty and not safe.

I loved this video. You are a wonderful storyteller and I really appreciated the footage of the city. I lived in Seattle from 95-2000 and again 06-09. I spent a month in Greenwood last summer working remotely to get a sense of how the city has evolved. I’m based in greater Boston now but Seattle is still my heart. It remains to be seen whether as an academic I can land a job out there given the comparatively smaller # of college. I would love similar videos based in different neighborhoods. Really interesting to hear the two of you in conversation. Very thoughtful and extremely helpful. The red beard is visually stunning. It somehow anchors the frame. Irish? Scottish?

You're sleeping on West Seattle. In particular the two junctions (Admiral and Alaska) and Alki neighborhoods. I would argue it covers so many of the "best neighborhood" questions you asked.

The first time i visited in 2016 I thought "i could live here", the more neighborhoods I visited the more I think the same thing. Some some homeless dudes hanging out near Old Ballard on Market and it's not much different than LA so that's not a factor.

I find it a bit funny that homeless people are such a norm for so many people... that it's no longer a factor.

Most of our drug addicts came here from somewhere else to take advantage of permissive policies.

@genxtechguy 6 ай бұрын

The drug problem isn’t the homeless problem. The drug problem IS the problem. Trying to fix the problem thinking that these special folks want a house is why no progress is being made. Along with just letting drug addicts be drug addicts (liberal policies).

West Seattle is the best. Kind of like a little beach village. Feels a little removed from the rest of the city because of needing the bridge, but that's part of its charm. The best parts are along the water and the north part of West Seattle, but its a little more affordable in Delridge.

I did like Seattle when I visited but Cap Hill as a place to live? It seemed so shady in every aspect. Yes you've got good restaurants and vibrant community but you can't be serious about buying a home or raising a family in Cap Hill. It's dirty, loud, crime & drug infested, homelessness with no end. Queen Anne, West Lake and Upper Queen Anne seem so much better.

@ahomeinSeattle 7 ай бұрын

I do think Cap Hill would appeal more to folks looking for nightlife and good food. But you also can’t beat the transportation options. Some of the bigger homes with yards are lovely, but out of reach for most people financially

@pharma37 7 ай бұрын

I rented in capital hill for 5 years during grad-school 15 years ago, and determined that it was a dump. I had my first two children back then, and watched as everyone simply accepted the area's decline. I moved out, bought house #1 across the 520, and never looked back. I've driven through there recently to drop off an employee at his condo on First Hill, and capital hill is in a much worse shape than the dump I moved away from years ago. I do not understand why people accept it.
