People are migrating here, and will migrate here, for many reasons: good wages, good minimum wage, no state income tax, no state capital gains tax (except houses above $1 million), we have water (somewhat), we have a green city, and we have top level education that most can afford.
And we have a lot of tech and other jobs being created all the time.
You fail to understand all the subcontracting and connected firms. Probably 10 percent of the jobs were MSFT created. Many of our dot coms and current tech firms are from MSFT people.
The only neighborhoods that didn't change were the rich ones like Queen Anne, Wallingford, Montlake, and so on.
That's what MSFT did.
(caveat - I bought my first house with $ from trading MSFT stock on announced information, where I got my first down payment - and have worked for them)
Nope. Many studies have disproven this. Sprawl is less efficient. People who live in dense cities consume much less than sprawl SFH suburbs - frequently 1/10th as much. We drive less (many of us use walking, bikes, or transit, or drive short distances) and use less energy.
Face it, we're better than you.
And we're not subsidizing suburbs either. Those days are over.
Spreading out won't help - it just increases traffic congestion. I'm specifically referring to the adjacent neighborhoods like Wallingford, Montlake, Capitol Hill, Queen Anne.
All the arterials everywhere.
The entire city population - and regional population - is going to double. Pretending it won't is part of the problem, and pushing growth out is part of what led to the current problem.
I was in the meetings where we decided to upzone SLU to 8 stories. Maybe you missed them.
I really think you don't get that our population will DOUBLE by 2025.
Not 2040.
But 2025.
Time to rezone all arterial blocks to 6-8 stories and stop "preserving" overpriced Single Family Housing that drives all but the Upper Middle Class out of Seattle.
No, I ask because I was one of the first beta testers of GPS units, and when I would go into mountains and park all day to go skiing they would freeze and take 2-3 days to reboot. When I was in the CAF Army we had similar problems operating in the Rockies and in Northern BC and the Yukon - a lot of stuff doesn't work well when it gets wicked cold. Like -20 C or below. At -40 C (also -40 F) a lot of stuff just stops working.
Seriously, the worst part is that it's doesn't achieve it's stated objectives.
Intel gathered in Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Pakistan, Afghanistan and some other rogue states like Bahrain, yields actionable intel.
Intel gathered in the US has somewhere around 99 percent false leads that hide the 1 percent we would have found if we only used the above intel instead, and then used specific warrant leads.
That to me is the take home from this Illegal and Unconstitutional NSA data collection program.
Just wondering, since I've been waiting for this model to finally come out, now that I've switched to 100 percent green power and bought four solar panels through Seattle City Light.
Be great to know if it can cope with the winters in the Rocky Mountains of Montana, Idaho, BC, and Alberta.
I know what they look like, I've coded GIS software for cell providers, I even know what most of the hidden ones look like, and how the log files work (since I used them), but most people think it's a magic device powered by fairy dust that doesn't track them until they "turn it on" (it's actually on unless you specifically power it off).
Because nothing says Easy To Know Where They Are like making them look like trees, or fancy arches, or painting them dull colors so they don't look obvious.
Thank god my state has a State Constitution which says there is no excuse not to get a warrant.
Spying on the general public rarely works. Spying in foreign countries and main jump points does, but we spend way too much spying on Americans in America, which creates more misleading data and obscures the real data from overseas.
Anyone with a minimal level of training knows this, and uses methods that our intercepts won't catch.
We only catch the n00bZ.
And, in point of fact, the times we get people to give away things, they're not in the US, but in the Middle East (Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Pakistan mostly).
Intercepts in the US rarely catch anything useful, and have such a high level of red herrings we waste a lot of resources that would be otherwise used profitably overseas, not in the US itself.

You're saying Wallingford isn't middle class? How do you work that out?
You can afford $1 million for a house on a median wage of $40,000 for a family? ... really?
I see. And is this with or without the imaginary unicorn garden?
It's not families.
It's people.

Remember the bean sprout stereotypes ... yup
All you haters can shut the fuck up.
I live in Seattle and I absolutely cannot wait to see the homeless people kicked out of the city.
Actually, almost all of the homeless people aren't "from" Seattle. They're from the suburbs. (based on accurate headcounts in research studies)
On campus at the UW in Seattle you can get 100 Gbps (3 ports) and 40 Gbps (many ports, lost count after 40).
So, yes, 20 Mbps is dirt slow. Even 1 Gpbs (Gigabit) is dirt slow. It's like watching paint dry.
Actually, most were built during WW I and WW II and the Korean War to create worker housing for the shipyards and Boeing aircraft line workers.
At least in Seattle.
They get really pissy when you mess with their GPU backdoors

That's beside the point.
Pats cheated.
Seahawks get the win.

Now give us back our SuperBowl trophy, Pats, and it will end peacefully.
In a lot of the US and Canada we have these things called winters, and batteries and other components don't work so well when it's way below 0 C.
Just wondering, since I've been waiting for this model to finally come out, now that I've switched to 100 percent green power and bought four solar panels through Seattle City Light.
Be great to know if it can cope with the winters in the Rocky Mountains of Montana, Idaho, BC, and Alberta.
Barsoom always needs more egg hatcheries. And air generation stations along the canals.
Exactly.
The ruling is based on a false premise.
I know what they look like, I've coded GIS software for cell providers, I even know what most of the hidden ones look like, and how the log files work (since I used them), but most people think it's a magic device powered by fairy dust that doesn't track them until they "turn it on" (it's actually on unless you specifically power it off).

I was kind of shocked when they were showing off a copy of it that UW Engineering had at UW Discovery Days a couple of weekends ago.
It's even smaller than a battery powered Formula 1 electric car.
Little in the middle but it's got much track.
But no, you insisted we could address the root causes of global warming by "altering the atmosphere".
Chalk up another dead world of climate change deniers.
