A high percentage of have resided at one point or another in the Emerald City. What the one thing you miss the most?
Personally, there's not much I miss about Seattle life. But damn do I miss the used bins in the record shops.
I made my first trip back town since the summer of 2020 for a quick row peter puffer reunion and started at Easy Street in West Seattle (shout to @CFetters_Nacho_Lover ) for breakfast and a bloody mary, then onto to Silver Platters SODO, and finally Jive Time and Daybreak in Fremont. Bought about dozen used LPs altogether, all collectible and in great shape.
It will be depressing to venture back into Ranch (Smith Rock) Records in Downtown Bend. They rarely get good used records. I suspect all these old logging camp, Ducktards just never amassed much in the way of good vinyl collections back in the 60s, 70s, and 80s.

Sonics, Kingdome, Pioneer Square, UDistruct. Fucking everywhere was awesome and aside from a little gang problem in the CD, safe as hell. Traffic wasn’t shitty yet. Housing still within reach. Incredible time.
Nothing Seattle 21st century. Miss fucking nothing. Haven’t been for about six years and don’t intend to go back. SEA on connectors and that’s it.
Is that true?
I loved Seattle of the 90s, too.
So when i was a kid, Peter Canlis was among the top restaurateurs of the period, and Canlis, Rosellini’s Four-10 and the Other Place, Trader Vic's, The Windjammer, etc were the best places to eat in town.
As the town grew the restaurant scene exploded as downtown became a vibrant environment. My sister's high school boyfriend was Tony Canlis so we were quite familiar with the family and knew of them anyway because we regularly went to the restaurant as a family. Over the years a lot of family event dinners [weddings, Wakes and family social occasions] were held at Canlis.
The sizzle and pop of Canlis throughout all of their history was always their ability to create a quietly elegant atmosphere with superb service, the highest quality steak, Caesar salad and drinks in town, combined with a cool nighttime view of the water.
This is now the 3rd generation of ownership... after Peter died, Tony and his brother Chris took over the company, eventually Chris wound up being the owner operator, and now Chris's kids are operating the business.. I haven't been there in a while but the place has remained timeless over the last several generations so I doubt that much has changed.
All the new stick skinny tech fags and their 300lb girlfriends have ballooned the population to over 800k and they all suck, have no character, no sense of humor, are fully loaded with social justice bullshit, and live through their fucking phones.
The speeding meteor of death cannot come fast enough for this dirty sphincter city.
Not much else.
When I was a kid, the population was 500,000 and it was liberal but not leftist. We just called SJWs annoying, bleeding heart liberals then.
