Pacific Northwest Perspective

I live in the Seattle region of the USA, an area commonly referred to as the Pacific Northwest for obvious reasons.  While I complain about the freeway traffic, the all-too-frequent cold summers and overly wet winters, there are things about the area that I really appreciate.  While I was born in Seattle, I left after I turned 19 and spent several years in living in other locations around the USA including Illinois, New York, Virginia, Arizona, and Utah.  I could tell you things I liked about each place I've lived, but after 20 years away from the Pacific Northwest I eventually felt the need to return and I've been back for about ten years now.
