I'm a Seattle native, but I lived in other places between 1994 and 2009 before moving back (to the suburbs). The difference between Seattle today and the Seattle I knew growing up is stark. Not all bad, by any means. But wow is it different.
- mulmen 9y agoWas Seattle stable when you were growing up? I hear people talk about how much Seattle has changed but that seems like the norm.
- imesh 9y agoIsn't that true of everywhere?
- prgmatic 9y agoSame thing has happened to Venice, Santa Monica, SF, Bay Area, etc.. the world is constantly changing. The only constant is change.
- astura 9y agoI grew up in a no-name city I'm the Northeast and I can say exactly the same thing when I visit- Wow, this place is different! Because things just change. We didn't even have a big company come in or anything, it just changed over time one thing leading to another.
- WalterBright 9y agoIf you talk to a native in their 80s, the Seattle they grew up in was very different from the Seattle of the 60s-70s, which was very different from the Seattle of the 80s-90s, which is very different from, you get the idea. Get one of those coffee table books of historic Seattle pictures, and you can see the overwhelming constant change.
