Seattle is a pretty large city. It definitely had an extremely large effect.
As I understand it from stories people told me when I lived there for a few years, South Lake Union was a lower-rent district near the lake where younger single people lived that weren't attracted to the lifestyle on Capitol Hill but didn't make enough to live downtown proper or on Queen Anne or Magnolia hills. Now those people commute 45 minutes on the train from Everett or wait in traffic coming south on the heavily congested I-5 or west across the heavily congested Lake Washington Bridges.
- selectodude 9y agoSeattle metro is a little larger than the city of Chicago. It is not a large city by any metric.

San Francisco actually has smaller land area, and higher population - but I definitely consider San Francisco to be a large city. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_cities_by_population#United_States https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_cities_b...
