I know many people here in Seattle who don't have cars (and others with Zipcar, if you only need it on occasion). I have a car, but I only drive it every couple weeks, at most, and I would certainly get along fine without it.
- potatolicious 18y agoAny others care to chime in about Seattle? I'll be moving there in a few months and would like to know how it stacks up as a hacker city. Last time I was there I was left with the impression that it's a pretty boring city with a lot of health-conscious people... so I guess that's 1 for 2? The downtown area was a lot quieter than most, and unlike most cities I've been to didn't seem to have a lot of the food and arts that most downtowns do...
- ken 18y agoI guess "pretty boring" depends entirely on what you're looking for. There's plenty going on here, and many things I do can't be found together anywhere else (except maybe SF). So if you like French food and Broadway musicals, NYC is obviously better, but if you like rock climbing and Japanese art, Seattle is hard to beat. While many other cities are certainly bigger and busier, Seattle has more of what is interesting to me. (Classic selection bias: obviously somebody living here by choice would feel that way!) If you have any specific questions, I'd be happy to try to answer.
