The Top 10 Reasons to Live in Seattle or on The Eastside

What are your top 10 reasons to live in the Seattle or on the Eastside? What are your fave 10? I read a post this morning about the Ten Reasons People Move to Seattle from the BINC blog. Pretty interesting list. I think most of the reasons listed in the post fit either Seattle or the Eastside.

Here’s my list, which embellishes on the ideas posted in the BINC article.

I love the mountains, the lakes, the sound, the islands, the trees, the green, and the fact that the snow is on the mountains, but not in my backyard.

I love being close to 3 important national parks, Mt. Rainier, Olympic National Park, and North Cascades National Park.

I love that I could go hiking,

`

boating,

skiing, walking, running, fishing.

I love the cultural sophistication here. We are not LA, NYC or Chicago, but we have great theater, great art, a wonderful sculpture park,

and wonderful restaurants.

I love the excitement and energy brought to Seattle/Eastside/ King County by the top companies located here, Microsoft, Amazon, and Starbucks.

I love the culture in which people are starting to pay attention to their carbon footprints and thinking green.

I love the mild weather, even if it is gray in the winter.

I love the summer. I don’t want to be anywhere else.

I love being surrounded by Puget Sound

and Lake Washington.

I love that jaw dropping feeling I get each time I see Mt. Rainier pop out.

The BINC blog comments on the great transportation system, but it’s the system in the heart of Seattle. There is a great bus service all over King County, but traffic is a pretty serious problem, with no clear resolution.

Our location is what drives many of us to live here and the traffic is what drives us a little crazy!

So what’s in your fave 10?

Thanks Blue Ridge. I agree, we have a lot to offer in this area. We do have gray skies a lot, but mild winters. We are surrounded by wonderful natural sights.

There is a lot of “brain” power and innovative people in this area, which has a lot to do with the huge number of start-ups.

Is Blue Ridge a resort community in the mountains?
