"Beyond the smiles, the Seattle Freeze is on...Our Social Dis-ease"
BY JULIA SOMMERFELD Seattle Times

"the dichotomy most fundamental to our collective civic character is
this: Polite but distant. Have a nice day. Somewhere else.

We're the ideal seatmate on an airplane. We slide in, exchange a smile
and a succinct pleasantry, then leave you be for the rest of the flight.
Alaska Airlines should capitalize on this with ads that promise:
"Uninterrupted service from Seattle â?? and we mean it."

Seattle is like that popular girl in high school. The one who gets your
vote for homecoming queen because she always smiles and says hello. But
she doesn't know your name and doesn't care to. She doesn't want to be
your friend. She's just being nice."

Interesting article you had posted. Its funny because I hve noticed that the people in Washington are not completly the most friendly people. I am originaly from california and hav only been living here for abour seven years, had to move up here when I started high school.

I have come to love the place though, the landscape here is just amazing, I love them trees. Hit me up if you've got the time.

Peace.

I'm on the south side of Tacoma, though I go to school in Seattle and work in Bellevue, so I'm all over the sound daily.

....up in B'ham all alone... :(

Tacoma peeps here. Really is quiet here most of the time but there are always many just waiting to chime in with something to say. I think it is clear we are all eager to communicate but more often than not no one has anything to talk about, or we're all just to lazy to post it, lol. Merry Christmas JK
