Pretty sure the RV is not the heart of Seattle's brains industry either.

Don't get me started on the lack of sidewalks, the lack of farmers markets, or the massive effort that apparently exists to mow down every tree in existence and replace them with finely manicured corporate saplings ever so cleverly positioned in front of the strip mall at precise intervals to appeal to the same sort of people who have bumper stickers on their cars asking "Where's the Birth Certificate?" and "I (heart) My Carbon Footprint".

Seattle without question has problems in governance, but take a look around sometime guys.

Yup. Seattle is one of a handful of municipalities (including counties) that has a AAA bond rating, for example.

Similarly, the Greater Seattle Area has an abnormally high number of residents possessing college degrees. The single greatest concentration of atheists in America live in the GSA. We elected the first female mayor of a major US city before anyone else did, passed Equal Marriage by referendum before anyone else did, named Seattle's county after Dr King and have elected two female governors. We legalized pot before the rest of the country did. We are famous for music and the arts. We are home to multiple world-class universities and colleges. We are home to research science hubs such as Hutchinson Labs. Our cafe culture (the cafe being the traditional haunt of the intelligentsia) is so rich that every independently owned coffee shop is like a university in miniature, lined with books and host to poetry slams, music, art. and endless conversations. If the Midwest is the Heartland, we are the Brainland (and I guess that makes the South the ass-or at least, Florida can safely be called the cockland).

And yet, we react to claims that our state, and the part along I-5 can be called the Third Smartest on the continent.

Oh Seattle, if only you knew how beautiful you really are. And even if the Seattle Freeze is how you return the feeling, I'm madly in love with you.
