Well, we are sitting directly on the Pacific Ocean. So our climate is incredibly mild. Freezing temperatures are rare here at sea level.

But 45 minutes away, they have 10 feet of snow at the ski resorts, which are 4k feet above sea level.

It really is a heavenly place. I love it here.

I just checked the climate, and Seattle sounds truly amazing. Mild summer and winter that's merely a bit chilly? Sounds exactly like my kind of place. The sea view must be amazing! And the flag is quite cool, as well!

Man... Can't wait to visit it now.

The Cascadia flag is even better, even though it isn't for a real city/state/country.

I have one of those on my backpack. Buddy of mine went crazy into secessionist movements when Trump won.

No, it's not that good. It's just a tree stuck over a tricolor flag. Seattle's has auxiliary shapes that weave into the main theme without once breaking the coordination, and those shapes form beauty. See what I mean?

Can you handle months of 40-45F and light drizzle with almost no sunbreaks? It's nice to not have to deal with ice all the time but the persistent grey really gets to some people. Seasonal depression is a real thing here.

Sure. We call it "winter".
