Seattle, it's not Vancouver!

There are cool people everywhere. But for some reason, it took me about 3 years before I started finding them in Seattle. Is this because Vancouver is so incredibly awesome? Perhaps.

It might also have something to do with the way people here hole up in their houses sometimes, refusing to meet new people or travel, or contemplate their deep-seated (but cleverly disguised) issues with race and class.

Hm.
