If you’re judging the beauty of a state based on what’s wrong with its urban centers, you’re not going to be happy anywhere. Face facts, you’re just a super negative person.

Well said. Completely agree with you. Yeah some of the rural areas do suck here in Washington. But that doesn’t cancel out the sheer beauty of the truly beautiful and amazing places we have around here in Washington. It’s like for me. Like in my comment I lived in Minnesota near the Mississippi River. And wasn’t far from Headwaters, or even the Boundary Waters (I actually recommend visiting there.) because it’s stunning. And heck even some of the small towns a great. Stillwater Minnesota is cute “little” town. I lived in Southern California out near Palm Springs Joshua Tree Park is beautiful for the nights sky’s. Lived in Florida near alligator alley. Absolutely hated it there but still pretty. There is beauty in every place. And sadly there is a lot of ugly too. Whether the people who inhabit the area or the actual landscape.

I lived in southlake union for 6 months. That's literally downtown. You seem like you're having a bad day and I'm sorry for that. I hope it gets better. I also worked at pike's place market and that was a great experience, because you get to meet and greet people from all walks of life.

Pikes Place is awesome for people watching or to meet and greet people. That’s the only real part of Seattle my wife and I like..
