1. Seattleites Are Very, Very Comfortable In Their Own Skin
This must be the case, since they like to go forth in the buff so frequently. The naked bike ride that goes down every year during the Fremont Solstice is just one example.
Not to mention, Seattleites also like to throw underpants to the wind when riding the subway for the annual No Pants Light Rail Ride.
2. They Will Give You Crabs… No, Wait, Don’t Go… It’s A Good Thing
That’s right a Seattleite will give you crabs and you will thank them for it. Every good Seattleite has a crab pot or two up their sleeve and come July, when crabbing season opens, you will feast like a king or queen.
Dungeness crabs are highly coveted for their delectable, bountiful meat. And if your Seattleite really likes you, they may even show you the proper way to peel one of these beautiful babies.
3. They Aren’t Afraid To (North) Face The Future With You
The winters are long and cold here and every good Seattleite has at least one or two fleece jackets in their wardrobe repertoire. When things get serious and you want to take your relationship to the next level, announce it to the world with matching North Face jackets.
4. Only A Seattleite Can Show You The Sexy Side Of Flannel
People may argue about why Seattleites wear flannel: Is it because of their progressive sense of style? Or utter lack of it? Either way, flannel is here to stay and your Seattleite will initiate you in all of the approved methods (i.e. more is better and extra points for plaid) and acceptable times for wearing flannel (i.e. anytime).
5. They Will Tickle Your Taste Buds With A Bag Of Dicks
Seattleites know just the thing to keep you fueled during those late night party hours—a bag of Dick’s, of course! The ambrosial little burgers go hand in hand with their “one size fits all” fries and creamy milkshakes.
These bitty little burgers are so good that Sir Mix-a-Lot and Macklemore have both given Dick’s props in their music and the burger joint's burger was voted “most life-changing burger” in 2013 by Esquire.
6. They’re Always Good To Their Mother… Mother Earth That Is
Here it’s all about footprint minimization and Seattleites recycle everything. It’s kind of required by law (plastic grocery bags are banned, and the brown paper bags cost a nickel if you fail to bring your own from home), but even if it wasn’t mandatory, Seattleites are so progressive they would do it anyway. They love their trees and parks, composting, and zero emission cars—and you will too.
7. Seattleites Really Know How To Make Your Heart Pound And Your Pulse Race
Seattleites love coffee. After all, it's the home of the megaroaster Starbucks. In Seattle there are 10 times more coffeehouses per 100,000 residents than in the U.S. overall.
So fear not, your Seattleite will keep the caffeine coming strong all day long.
8. And They Know Just The Right Cocktail To Bring You Down
In a city of pioneers and artists, the craft cocktail is a culinary movement. The city ranks among the top for its cocktail culture, and chances are, if your Seattleite isn’t a mixologist by training, they are one by hobby.
So, they will know just the right spot to take you for barrel-aged, hopped whiskey or lavender-infused gin, served with hand-carved ice and freshly squeezed juices.
9. Folks In Seattle Know Where To Go For The Most Romantic Views
Your Seattleite will know the best spots around town to steal a kiss. It might be in Kerry Kark, taking in the panoramic view of gorgeous downtown, or striking a pose in the arms of the Fremont Troll, or perhaps at a summit while hiking Mt. Rainier.
10. And Who Knows They Might Even Be A Famous Musician One Day
Seattle has given birth to more than a few musicians who have gone on to enjoy success and stardom. Among them, Jimi Hendrix, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Heart, and Alice in Chains.
11. Seattleites Are Über Open Minded So You’ll Never Feel Judged
From Hemp Fest (you can guess) to Hump Fest (amateur porn festival), there is a laissez-faire attitude among Seattleites. What doesn’t hurt you won’t hurt you, they feel.
This extends into their politics as well, with the majority of Seattleites leaning liberally to the left when it comes to same-sex marriage, legalization of marijuana, and reproductive rights. So take comfort in knowing that you will be spared from judgment.
12. They Will Get You To Play In The Rain
Yes, it does rain here. A lot. And yet, No one here uses an umbrella. Perhaps it doesn’t mesh with their stylized sense of fashion. Or they’ve grown numb to the constant light mist that falls from the sky for eight months straight.
Whatever the case may be, if you date a Seattleite you too will learn to love frolicking in the rain sans umbrella.
13. But When The Sun Comes Out, They Know Just What To Do
People in Seattle tend to lose their mind when the sun comes out, in a good way. During summer months, the daylight lasts until 9 or 10 p.m. and Seattleites make good use of their endless days. They may run you ragged a bit with the hiking, biking, boating, fishing, sailing, and camping, but you won’t regret one single moment of it.
14. Your Babies Together Will Be Baby Geniuses
Seattle fosters its businesses both big and small, and it nurtures its techno start-up types, so it’s no surprise that the city was recently ranked No. 1 Smartest City In North America by Fast Company.
And you know what they say, smart is sexy.
