Things I love about Seattle

1. It's a walking and biking city 
2. Excellent Public transportation 
3. Pike Place Market
• Bouquets of flowers every day
• Fresh, farm-grown produce 
• Local artists
4. The artwork that permeates throughout the city from the buildings to the bus-stop stations
5. The Eco-consciousness of the city: There are compost bins in the hotels, there is an option for me to deny housekeeping (as a green choice) at the hotel and I was awarded a $5 voucher, plastic bags have been banned, there are water bottle filling stations at the airports and other public places, and there are tons of beautiful flowers and plants around the city 
6. The people here are truly different. From the moment I got here it feels like I've finally arrived home. People, especially in the market place, talk to you like family. 
7. People's fashion here is on point. 
8. There are tons of bakeries and coffee shops
9. A local shopping center has umbrellas outside that people can borrow and return as they need 
10. Lots of local flare and pride
