I live in Seattle and honestly have never experienced any freeze at all. Maybe it’s because I’m queer or maybe it’s because I have good social skills, but I have had no issue integrating myself with the community here and have made lots of friends. Seattle responds well to those who put themselves out there and aren’t republican weirdos.

    In my experience, you can only make friends through work or through shared activities like skiing or the knitting club. Otherwise people aren't interested in you. If you're super active, then you'll have tons of friends. If you're an introvert, you're probably better off somewhere else.

    I'm just glad I have a name for what I'd also agree was the single most lonely time of my own life, hunkered-down in a North Seattle apartment for 18 months before bailing on my green card and h1 and going back to Vancouver.

    Because the weather wasn't the issue; but I'd suggest improving the rail transit and rolling the shitty moldy wet-wood lowboy apartments into something more dense to allow for beneficial green-space. This emerald city needs a little more greenery!

    But transit and greenery may be a little avant-garde for a country still undecided on the issue of felons as kings :-\

    I wanted to thank you for sharing your experience and make sure to validate you in this, because it really sounds very difficult to go through. Hopefully things are doing better for you recently.
