I am confused how some can proclaim to love Seattle so much but only visit it three times in six years. The rest of the article is even more confusing. There i

  He says that he loves Seattle NOW that he LIVES in it. When he had to live elsewhere in Washington due to work, he only had few chances to visit it (those "3 times in 6 years"), so he didn't get the chance to appreciate it back then. What's confusing about it? (Besides the fact that even if somebody already loved some place very much, there's nothing contradictory about them still only managing to visit it only a few times over 6 years, or even not once -- if they had too much other stuff to do. There are people who haven't took a holiday in 10 years, much less 6 -- and even when they did, they might go somewhere else, e.g. to somewhere they have family, or to some beach ladden place).

    The implication for me was that it was odd since he worked in Bellevue at Unity's offices. If it's true that he worked in their Bellevue offices, Seattle is literally a 10-minute drive away. Your points are definitely fair considerations, but even when I was working long hours at Microsoft's Redmond campus, I was very aware of what Seattle had to offer that I was missing out on. It seems quite a shame that it took 6 years to discover the place next door. I'm glad he's discovered it now, though.
