7 Reasons Why Seattle Sucks

Washington is so overrated.

7 Reasons Why Seattle Sucks
Trip Advisor

I've lived in Washington since I was born, and honestly, the state has a lot of flaws. I'm getting real sick and tired of the "Evergreen State" and I'm about to lay down the truth about why Seattle and Washington suck so very much. Get over yourself, Seattle.

1. The nature.

Washington is constantly assaulting everyone’s eyes with its beauty. From the ocean to the many mountains, Washington just can’t contain itself. Seriously, nobody needs that much natural beauty in their life. I don’t want to see a 14,000-foot volcano looming over me while I shop in the city. Just stop, Seattle.

2. There’s too much coffee.

What is with the coffee, Washington? There’s a coffee shop on every block, taking up valuable real estate. It’s not like they’re serving delicious drinks or anything, just coffee. Don’t even get me started on Starbucks, creating jobs and being one of the top places to work for teens and young people. How dare they?

3. The weather.

Washington can never make up its freaking mind about the weather. I mean, most people think of Washington and think of rain, but we also experience disgustingly hot days, decent snowfalls in winter, and mild storms in fall. I mean really, just decide on a weather pattern and stick to it. Nobody likes experiencing all four seasons. (At least the rain keeps the Californians away.)

4. The greenery.

It’s called the Evergreen State for a reason. The rain just makes everything greener. Then the sun comes out and just intensifies all that green. Just move to Arizona, where everything is a nice shade of brown.

5. The sports.

The sports fans in Seattle are absolutely nuts. Seattle Seahawks fans are some of the loudest fans in the NFL, and the Seattle Sounders have one of the biggest followings in Major League Soccer. That level of dedication is just scary. C’mon, Seattleites, don’t you guys have hobbies?

6. All the activities.

Speaking of hobbies… Washington and its occasional sunny day lends itself to WAY too much variety in activities. Do you go to Pike’s Place, do you hike around the pristine mountains that surround Seattle, or do you ride out to the islands on the ferry? Kayaking, hiking, biking, swimming: Washington’s options are just too much, and I can never decide.

7. The caring people.

Seattle and its people care way too much about the issues -- global warming, people’s issues, government corruption. Seattleites stick their nose in everything. Seattleites are dedicated to making changes for the better, who the heck likes that! They are definitely not the kind of people I want to associate with.

In all honesty, Washington was a great place to grow up, and I love it very dearly. It does have its flaws (lack of a basketball team and the fact that Chris Pratt didn't stick around, just to name a few), but there's no place I'd rather call home.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
