WA is beautiful. Every city has its good and bad areas.
Seattle may not be quite as bad as “dead”, but many of the descriptions are accurate *for a given neighborhood* — there far more crappy areas these days than there used to be.
I have hope it’ll get better one day. It’s a lovely place most of the time.
I think you and I are solidly in agreement on all points. When it’s good, it’s really good. But the bad is heartbreaking and does rather seem to have increased of late.
