So I've lived in Seattle my whole life. In the last 5 years the locally operated grocery store near my house was torn down and replaced with a Whole Foods while my favorite movie theater (the only theater I've ever known to provide a sound-proofed room for small children) has become a 21+ reserve-your-seats $80 movie night ordeal. I don't really have a problem with new people moving in and some of my best friends work at Amazon, but you can't really classify all these "new amenities and attractions" as a positive, most of them are just overpriced crap targeted to a demographic I don't belong to. It's not like Seattle was bereft of services and entertainment before you showed up.
