Wouldn’t it be easier to just post that you were mistaken about your facts?
I suppose I’m one of the “rude” posters that believe when something is stated as a fact it should be verified first. I don’t see how it helps the OP out to exaggerate negative aspects about the "facts".
Fine, I was wrong. I was trying to give the OP some reality check here. Seattle is obviously great which is why I've lived here for most of my adult life.
Not sure why you seem so hell-bent on pointing out that I may be wrong. Hopefully the OP received some information that he was looking for.
