Unfriendly to outsiders? I moved to Seattle from Alaska when I was 32 (I knew no one here and grew up near DC). 7 years later, I'm buried in friends. I play ultimate with a group of awesome folks twice a week, touch football once a week with another group, and bump into all sorts of friendly faces at tech meetups. People seems broadly friendly compared to most cities. I'll agree that folks are less confrontational than the east coast, which translates to more passive aggression (but certainly less OVERALL aggression than east coast cities). As far as "hick town"... Seattle is literally the most educated city in the US. It legalized gay marriage and pot before almost anyone else. I don't understand what you mean by "hick"... I guess we do have a lot of plaid.
