Yes! Glad to see I wasn't the only one who felt this way. I moved to Seattle in 2008 and only stayed for about 7 months before I had to leave. The people were friendly and polite, but it was impossible to get to know people on more than a superficial level. There were a lot of activities going on -- concerts, summer festivals -- but they weren't good for meeting new people. I didn't have any trouble meeting people in other cities, so I do think it was the Seattle Freeze in action. Seattle was a perfect city on paper. It's beautiful in the summer and there's waterfront views in every neighborhood. There's a good arts scene for a city of its size, and the cost of living is pretty reasonable. But without any way to build a core group of friends, it was really difficult to handle living there. I had to leave before I went crazy!
