Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.
What's the one thing you miss most about living in Seattle?

The Throbber misses Ivar's at SEA. For fuck's sake, that airport is shit to begin with and they got rid of the only decent food in the place.

Seattle has to have the worst possible geography to be a bicycle commuter city. It's never going to be an effective way for most folks to commute. I was always astonished with the risks parents would take taking their kids on the back of their bikes to school on busy ass arterials with no bike line.TurdBomber said:

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.
Driving without having to dodge retarded bicyclists who need special lines, lanes and lights, or else cannot function in traffic.
Greenlake without homeless surrounding it and not seeing HEAPS OF TRASH FUCKING EVERYWHERE.
FUN bars and GOOD restaurant food, vs. overpriced, mediocre "artisan" everything that sucks.
Good service in bars and restaurants.
Bar taps with a variety of craft beers instead of 20 different IPAs and one stout.
For starters.
White Wakanda on the other hand is a marvelously bike friendly layout, although I lay off the country roads with minimal shoulders myself. I like to the give the hicks their space as they were here first. -
My shoe shine guysm were the folks in the basement of the Nordstrom flagship store. I used to got there like once a week on my lunch break. I miss that a lot.MikeDamone said:I remember my Seattle phase
Robin and Maynard - Roy OtisEl_K said:Too many things I miss about "old" Seattle
The Mercer Arena
RCKCNDY
The Fun Forest
The Coliseum
The seats in the Coliseum/Key Arena/Climate Pledge Arena. those red velour seats!
The Kingdome
The Lusty Lady
Free busses downtown
Building that were landmarks. The Natural gas building. The spice building. The PI Building
The strip clubs
Jimi Hendrix' old grave site
Tower Records off Mercer
the radio stations
90.5 KCMU.
The Ave in the 80s-90s
The theater chain that showed arty fartsy films/ The Guild, The Varsity, Seven Gables
The Viaduct
the waterfront
520 with no tolls
When Seafair was a party
Chinatown and none of this PC International District
Seahawks original colors
Pioneer Square
Tuba Man
Frederick & Nelson
the Azteca on Eastlake
The Blob
Nordstrom with the computer font times and the service you would get then
The Grit. some graffiti, a few homeless, a few drunks. Not over run like it is now
If you had to pinpoint it to one thing that was the tipping point to new Seattle, for me it would be when Vulcan or whoever bought up those small properties in south Lake Union and just developed the shit out of SLU and Mercer St
I guess you could do this about any city
The Blade
Spoonman at Pikes Place
UW football
Lunch at The Met
The shoe shine guy on 1st and Columbia -

I used to work at the Bananas Tavern - across from the Fremont Tavern and the Toohigh Tavern - working the door I let many a drunk fisherman in for free only to be paid back in kind or triple kind a few days later.Fishpo31 said:Old Ballard: drunk Norwegian fishermen

Miss the good tavern days through out Seattle -
I miss the authentic ethnic food. Of all kinds. You leave the city and that shit gets harder to find.
I enjoyed a lot about going to UW and being in Seattle at the end of the 80's, but I don't miss most of it. The traffic was fucked even then. -

I normally agree with everything you say, but on this one point we differ. Ballard is better than it has ever been. There are rows of great fucking restaurants there, and people have invested in their homes and there are far fewer run-down little craftsman style places than there once was.

As for Yella's original question, I don't miss anything because I'm still here. We still have the restaurants, we still have Dicks (lolz), the U-district has always been a shit hole, or at least the Ave, and still is.
The only think I really miss is not having to see tent cities every fucking place I look. I do miss the absence of that, for sure. -
The food, the views, the summer weather.TurdBomber said:
Seattle was fucking great until about 2000 and when the population was under 700k.
I agree around 2000 seemed to be an inflection point, coming from someone who lived there 1999-2002 and visited fairly frequently before and after that time period.Fire_Marshall_Bill said:
Yeah I think 2000 was the point of demarkation between good Seattle and woke faggot Seattle. I remember wanting to move here by my "senior" year at UW in 2002.TurdBomber said:Seattle was fucking great until about 2000 and when the population was under 700k.

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.
The inflection seemed to be caused by:
1999 WTO Riots
2001 Boeing HQ to Chicago after 1997 merger with McDonnell Douglas
1999 Bezos Time man of the year and subsequent rise of Amazon
Big population growth at that time, after losing population or growing modestly for decades, it jumped in the 1990s, with more and more transplants (which I guess I count as) -
Well, aside from that.....C'mon dude. Seattle voters have made the homeless scumbag populatoin priority #1, completely above the law and unaccountable for anything they ruin - like every park and greenbelt in the City.creepycoug said:

Meanwhile, I'll eat Dick's burgers, do Happy Hour at Matador, and keep filling my 1/2 price growlers every Monday at EBB. I will also smoke cigars while walking my dog, blowing smoke in the faces of masked idiots, then faux apologizing for it as I proceed along the walk, chuckling. -
Pizza at the Northlake Tavern, and Fiddler's Inn, along with a Shepherd's Pie at the George & Dragon are still worth eating, too.TurdBomber said:

I agree with you on the restaurants for sure...the last time I visited Ballard (3 years ago) to go to one of those restaurants, I nearly got in a fight (or my ass kicked, take your pick) with three guys (obvious campers) who were miffed that I would disturb their passed-out friend, who was directly in front of the passenger door of my car, blocking my wife's entrance to said car. It was one of several times something like that happened to us (me) in Ballard from about 2015-17.creepycoug said:

I witnessed a lot of shit / sketchy activity in a short time frame, to the point that I did not feel safe going there. Eliminate the campers and I'm right there with you, Creep...

Rat and Raven or whatever the fuck, Blue Moon, Saturday nights in the U district.
It was a better college scene even in 2007-10 than most college towns. Random parties in Cap Hill and places.
Weed easy to get before it was now really easy to get.
Went to a party on Holloweeen sponsored by Elysian. All kegs their strongest beer. Some amazing bands played at random houses off of 22nd because the members went to school. -

The only think I really miss is not having to see tent cities every fucking place I look. I do miss the absence of that, for sure. -

The Northlake might be my all time favorite eating establishment in Seattle. Different vibe but I miss Varlamos a ton and Costa the owner.TurdBomber said:
Pizza at the Northlake Tavern, and Fiddler's Inn, along with a Shepherd's Pie at the George & Dragon are still worth eating, too.TurdBomber said:

Seattle voters get the government they deserve. This is obvious and I think most here would agree.TurdBomber said:
Well, aside from that.....C'mon dude. Seattle voters have made the homeless scumbag populatoin priority #1, completely above the law and unaccountable for anything they ruin - like every park and greenbelt in the City.creepycoug said:
I normally agree with everything you say, but on this one point we differ. Ballard is better than it has ever been. There are rows of great fucking restaurants there, and people have invested in their homes and there are far fewer run-down little craftsman style places than there once was.

It's the people who vote, man. They all suck ass.
My attempt here though was the reminisce about the good things that I for one miss. Even in 2022 Seattle has some worthwhile amenities.
Meanwhile, I'll eat Dick's burgers, do Happy Hour at Matador, and keep filling my 1/2 price growlers every Monday at EBB. I will also smoke cigars while walking my dog, blowing smoke in the faces of masked idiots, then faux apologizing for it as I proceed along the walk, chuckling.
But that's it. Everything else needs to die a violent death.
Fiddler's Inn was a long time spot for me.
George and Dragon and I never hit it off cause I think soccer if for fags.
EeeeeYup -
Lol fucking Christ, happy hour at Matador? Is that before the big family dinner at Chili's?TurdBomber said:

My dad used to like the Doghouse. I remember seeing a cigarette machine there circa 1992. That Denny Regrade area used to be so mellow compared to now. Two story buildings and Amazon was some book website losing money every year..TurdBomber said:

But what’s something positive that you miss?TurdBomber said:Seattle was fucking great until about 2000 and when the population was under 700k.
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.
Driving without having to dodge retarded bicyclists who need special lines, lanes and lights, or else cannot function in traffic.
Greenlake without homeless surrounding it and not seeing HEAPS OF TRASH FUCKING EVERYWHERE.
FUN bars and GOOD restaurant food, vs. overpriced, mediocre "artisan" everything that sucks.
Good service in bars and restaurants.
Bar taps with a variety of craft beers instead of 20 different IPAs and one stout.
For starters. -
San Francisco is gayer rather easily.TurdBomber said:
Is there a gayer City than Seattle, though? Perfect fit, no?PurpleThrobber said:
Seattle Soccer is for fags. Dominated by Lesbians. Worse than the crowd at Storm gaymes.YellowSnow said:

I miss WASHINGTON, dammit.
Alas, it's not coming back. Forever buried under the manboobs of it's former coach.
