"Even I remember when Seattle was considered a masculine city."

I've lived in western WA my entire life and can never recall any gender identification of Seattle, or any other city for that matter. Do recall that Tacoma, Everett, and B'ham were considered the armpits of Puget Sound, however. Whew, bad places to be downwind from.

"Libtards ruined it... grin" And further evidence of Hankster's cluelessness.

The only thing that is truly wrong with Seattle is that I-5 goes right through it and bottlenecks down to 2 northbound lanes. That's certifiably stupid. What's wrong with the article, like any of its ilk, is the author's presumptuousness. Not everyone who lives in Seattle is thankful about it. And those who are thankful for it don't share all the same reasons. But articles based on facts and logic don't sell well.
