Reply to comment by bbqsauceontiddies in My first time in the US, and I am amazed by the colors of Fall. Totally digging Seattle! by NoticeOk295

I got into UW. I didn’t think I’d make it here honestly. And I wasn’t even sure if this is the place I wanted to be. But fate played it all well. I couldn’t be more grateful.

Thank you so much!

Honestly, this is better than where I am coming from. Haha I am surprised people have issues with the air quality sometimes but to me, it seems better than normal. Its been a month and I haven’t found one reason to crib.

In fairness, the air quality in Seattle was the worst in the world for a few days the other week. And we're really not used to that.

That’s because cribs are unaffordable! I mean, the rent is simply too damn high!

People were talking about air quality because it rarely happens here when the quality is bad. Also, even though it is much better than some other places, my experience is that once you spend few years here you get used to it and then the bad quality starts affecting you. I also thought the same that even if it is worse, it still is much better than where i am from. Soon i started feeling the congestion and figured that i am not used to that anymore :(

Summer is fantastic. It begins around the 4th of July and usually lasts two entire months. People visit during summer and then decide to move here, having not experienced the other 10 months.

Summer is pretty awful these days but we have incredible springs and falls.
