I spent 12 hours in Seattle last week on my way from Bellingham back to Portland. It kinda sucked, the street layout made no sense (much like MS' API designs and documentation), the place was completely dead at night, and according to a homeless heroin addict I met on the streets even the heroin is lousy there (this was probably the real reason Cobain offed himself. If he'd just come to Portland, which according to my source is reknowned all through Cascadia for its quality smack, a great tragedy could've been averted). Bellingham was great though.
