Ever
wondered whether caffeine is a viable substitute for sunshine?
If so, Seattle is your kind of town. More than any other city
in the region, Seattle epitomizes what people know of (and how
they feel about) the Pacific Northwest. Nevermind that its sunshiny
days can be suicidally few - its residents (Chairman Bill, perhaps,
excepted) are among the nation's most outgoing and outdoorsy.
Sure, it had everybody wearing flannel shirts and whistling
Nirvana for awhile, but consider also the good things it's given
us: you can see the roots of America's microbrewing revolution
in the bellies of many a Seattlite, and the city's chilly mornings
had the espresso generation brewing long before Starbucks sold
its first cup. If you're looking for lifestyle (and who isn't
these days ?), Seattle has it in spades.
