Seattle

[shadowhawk926]

I visited Seattle for my senior trip back in June. not a day goes by that I don't think about my trip to this city. Friendly people, breathtaking views, and so much to do.

After I graduate from college, I'm only planning on one thing, getting out of Dallas and moving to Seattle!!!!

[pickledpork]

Bishop Francis Schuckardt came from Seattle.

[trockout]

I still miss the wonderful Perry Como, especially his television Christmas specials. What an unforgettable performer!

[jackpark7927]

Here Come The Brides is being aired now on Antenna TV, a cable channel.

[mhgreen3000]

This may be one of the cheesiest songs I've ever heard, but it's about my city and I love it !

[moneyusper]

Fish Market is great... I foudn some great stuff there. I became a fan of Mt Rainer cherries, and some other stuff. I believe that's where I found some Pacific Rim ceramic houses, and Clay Art Masks...

[MrBEB123]

Seattle is a great place for conservative Whites to live. If you are White and not a Commie or Fag come on up and help send these third World invaders back to where they came from.

[naquoiarakete1]

This video looks like Seattle is the best place in the world and it makes you wanna move there !

[herborenstein1]

Love the photos.

[bishopaz]

I LOVE THIS SONG BY PERRY COMO.

[naquoiarakete1]

where is the place at 28 seconds ?



[aquasealz]

i live in redmond wa but as long i can remember seattle had always been my favriote place to  vist and i am 13 and still love it

[MegaBob505]

the seattle sounders sing this aswell right?

[planetes1973]

@MegaBob505 Yes, we (ECS) sing the chorus.

[moparmusclecars]

I Love Seattle

[gamera1965]

I miss My Seattle too !!!

[TaylorTotsYumm]

Ah, nostalgia. I miss this city so much.

[FoothillsofWyoming]

nice slideshow to go with a great song

[mayduck1]

The pictures and song You posted are making Me want to visit Seattle.

[orosco83]

@mayduck1

If you go watch out for the flying fish at Pike Street. I make over Seattle 4 times a year a lot of stuff do and see.

[rockinconcorde2]

@mayduck1 if you go go in the summer it rains the rest of the year trust me i live in seattle

[MyNameIsTedBundy]

awww my beautiful home and the assholes didnt want my body buried there.

[SeattleWaffle]

While I agree with most of the song's sentiments, I have to disagree about the whole blue skies thing. The "blue skies" are only visible for five days in the summer (after July 4)

[Sapphiregriffin]

i love seattle more than anywhere!

[pickledpork]

Bishop Francis Schuckardt was from Seattle.

[shellback1978]

I enjoyed Seattle a lot. One of the finer liberty ports. Also...If old memory serves VMF214 (see end credits) was onboard USS Ranger

[PinkRadioHead]

"Bluest skies?" Well... that's a stretch!



[strangelove262]

@PinkRadioHead on those days in the fall when there's not a cloud in the sky and mount rainier stands out in stark relief on the horizon, they are the bluest skies you've ever seen :)

[PinkRadioHead]

"Bluest skies?" Well... that's a stretch!

[PinkRadioHead]

"Bluest skies?" Well... that's a stretch!



[mrtrinky666]

@XxKuyaaaJayyxX you know what you can think what you want im done wasting my time with you but it was still fun to see how much you really hate this city and there are like three bad comments about seattle on this page and also all the people that think that seattle is a beautiful even when its raining and people just enjoy this state in general so dont wipe shit on youtube walls like a lil kid

[mrtrinky666]

@XxKuyaaaJayyxX just cuz its your dumbass opinion does not mean its the truth and you can keep saying it but its not gonna change shit that your lil fag that lives on the east coast where all the mormons are and lil weak as faggets that cant lift more then 15 pounds for more then 3 minutes and get all there shit from there mommys and daddys and i on the other hand never had a mom or dad that took care me my brother did and we had to work for what we have and calling me fake wtf is that mean fag

[mrtrinky666]

@XxKuyaaaJayyxX theres a differance between looking at pictures of the united sates map and traveling places and the reason why i know you havint is because with trolls like you never have time to do anything else but bitch wine and talk shit on the internet about other people because in real life if you were to talk shit you would get knocked out oh and all so the natives really no one cares what they fuckin think intel they clean up there damb dirty ass rezes also the east coast go home fagget

[mrtrinky666]

@XxKuyaaaJayyxX well see i have lived in seattle my hole life and there is few people like that living here in seattle and to add on alot of big artistes are from seattle like jimi hedrix nirvana and sound garden and there are still more to list off and more good things about washington in general and your most likely from some shit state like CA, PA or some shit like that so get out of here mr. adopted and stop whiping shit all over seattles theme song

[mrtrinky666]

@XxKuyaaaJayyxX dont mad because you like boys

[gatovolador6969]

i came to seattle just for two days and i been in seattle since that day 14 years ago i love seattle

[twiztedchild666]

@gatovolador6969 I lived there twice...girlfrend wanted to see what Florida was like though :/ so Not I'm stuck back in Florida.

[shirleywilson]

Game Theory's cover is way better ;)

[eating100]

Nice video, I have visit Seattle 8 times now hope visit once again.

[bach36251]

It's sunny here today. Feb 2, 2011, while much of the rest of the country is besieged by a major blizzard. I love this place. I was born here, and I remember really believing that the part about "like a beautiful child, growing up free and wild, full of hopes and full of fears, full of laughter full of tears, full of dreams to last the years" was about me!! It was a fun aspiration for a 4-year-old! :)

[mrtrinky666]

why would you want to be anywhere else then seattle?

[65crewcabpw]

@mrtrinky666 because you could be in Sandpoint ID, Eureka MT, Fossil OR, Monticello UT, Silverton, CO, or any of the wonderful places on earth that aren't densely packed greenies without any sense. 

[gabrielaperez]

"The bluest skies you've ever seen are in Seattle" refers to those sunny days either during the summer or some other time of the year when the sky is clear and sunny. Those days are really blue and beautiful.  I love Seattle. :D

[beaglelala]

@gabrielaperez upon living there....ive come to the conclusion theres no such thing as sunny days xD

[tyzillatv]

Crackinjacks138 i know right i live there for a long time and it rained half of the year and the other half it was colder than shit now i live in texas thats where the skys are blue

[HeroinRules]

@tyzillatv on the other hand.... you live in fucking Texas.

[MrGrahameg]

i remember this song in new zealand when i was seven, in 69----i didnt know it was associated with 'here come the brides' which i loved also

[Kellett781]

Bastion of socialist liberalism.... 

[pipy05]

He didn't say anything about gays in Seattle lol

[mrtrinky666]

@pipy05 not to many gays up here man

[VadikKMV]

Beautiful song and wonderful city. I'm gonna visit it in 1 year.

[bobjones1783]

@VadikKMV do yourself a favor. stay home. I am dead. fucking. serious.

[CrackinJacks138]

haha this song is such BS...bluest skies my ass....

[danzamphi]

@CrackinJacks138

You made me laugh! I used to live there, so I know what you mean.

[randallgage]

...got my nose broke in a Perry Como mosh pit...never again, never again.

[ricardojosueirina]

Que bonito lugar, do you speak spanish ? Nice video. are you live there ?

[marcelask18]

*-*

[chisox100]

Love Seattle. Next to my hometown of Chicago, Seattle is my favorite place to be

[seajaybird88]

A song from my home, Seattle, Great place to live , great and very nice people all around.

[BuckeyeSecretary]

Just listen to that beautiful Perry Comon voice!!!!

[ssvdr007]

oh my god! i love the song! and i fell in love with seattle.... i'm a senior high in philadelphia and want to go to college in seattle, probably UW or SC, i would appriciate if anyone here could tell me anything about it, is it good to move to seattle alone as a college student? is it affordable? safe? overall is it good? because i dont want to end up coming back at my 3rd year....pls anyone thank!

[joelseattle]

@ssvdr007 Hi! Seattle is pretty safe -- but not very affordable -- clean, with temperate climate - has pretty good public transit - a car is not essential. People from Philly / PA in general seem to like it here. There are lots of options for outdoor activities, and beautiful wild country nearby. @Joel_Seattle

[KAMartin1953]

Wonderful production! I am lucky enough to live near Seattle, and our area is portrayed exactly. I agree that *Seattle* should be our official theme song. For those interested, here is the *OFFICIAL* anthem: Seattle City Song Words by: Arthur O. Dillon Music by: Glenn W. Ashley Seattle sits on seven hills, Her glory is unfurled, At her feet is Puget Sound, Where moves The Commerce of the world. (No room for rest of lyrics, sorry)

[Syzygy60]

it's "smells like teen spirit" :)

[gaz057]

I grew up listening to perry como on the parents hi-fi, this song just stuck in my mind, and now 40-odd years later it brings back so many memories of mum and dad and every saturday night just playing records.

[parkman35]

I've gotta admit...Seattle is one of the few cities I'd actually uproot and move to. It just seems like such a clean and fresh city...now if they could only get an NHL team....

[Funliverman]

My grandfather installed the glass in the space needle back in the 60's for the world's fair! Pretty proud of that and this great city !

[gaz057]

I grew up with my parents listening to Perry Como and the like, and listening to this and the Connie Smith version bring back many memories, many good and some not so good, but that's life

[tomwmloppe]

The bluest skies aren't merly poetic.

After viewing grey skies for many days, then the rain scrubs the atmosphere, then the skies are VERY BLUE...

thanx...

...tom

[SEATTLEWashington100]

beautiful song about a beautiful city!

[hwy61media]

Great video!

[tdrn00]

One of Perry's best. This vid has a fantastic photo montage as well. Keep up the good work!

[mikelaband1]

a great place to live in, better than the uk

[bosbal]

Great song and a wonderful singer!!!!

Frank

[sylvie13150]

great song ...5*****

[vention4wh]

I grew up in Seattle and that song described me as I left for the army. I wasn't happy until I came back. I do love this area.

Great song, it's a classic. Great photos too.

[rwells47]

Thanks for the great video! Perry Como has one of the best voices and singing styles ever. Great song- I do live in the Seattle area. The 'bluest skies you ever seen" are not in Seattle but... Seattle is a great city with great people! Ron

[duskejw]

The way he sings this song, makes it sound like its a paradise.

[mcgrawtim123]

Well, it ain't.

[heiress54]

i am conservative, but i still live in seattle and seattle is my home! it always will be!

[pickledpork]

Bishop Schuckardt who founded CMRI was from Seattle.

[Kathi727]

Perry Como's verson of Seattle is being played at the Sounders games now. Those under 50 haven't heard it before and think it's new. I love this city. If you can put politics aside, Seattle is the best kept secret in America, especially in the summer!

[rhinostrike97]

This song is a classic, and Como's singing of it is the only way it should be listened to. I hated Bobby Sherman's version of it, if, for no other reason, my girl cousin had a huge crush on him growing up, and I heard her play his lousy voice singing this song at least 100 times when I spent a weekend with my aunt and uncle.

[finteshes]

In response to the last comment SCREW YOU YOU BIG FAT CONSERATIVE

[65crewcabpw]

Just like a lib... full of hate, anger, vitriol... All the while claiming superior morals, character, ideals, and politics.

Let's just say that once you get to the Asahel Curtis exit on I-90, you can feel the misery lifting. At Hyak, it mostly goes away. Go far enough to reach Idaho and you're actually FREE AGAIN. Like escaping East Berlin before Reagan, the all controlling twits are left behind...

[finteshes]

I would like to know if that is the cities official anthem? If itsn't it should be

[65crewcabpw]

no, I don't think it is. Nobody cares anymore anyway. Seattle's just a cesspool of radical liberalism and is rotten to the core. Can't stand being there, and escape is the first thing on my mind when I have to be.

[orosco83]

Hi finteshes, I checked it's not theme song for Seattle and i agree with it should be.

[wdgarraway]

@orosco83 the main core of sounders fans sing this songs before they parade to the game.

[Kathi727]

Seattle doesn't have an official "theme song," but Perry Como's version of "Seattle" is as close as any song to being the theme song. It's being played at the Seattle Sounder FC soccer games now.

[seattlehawkins]

@finteshes Me too! Except the line " All Niggers in the CD burn in hell" should be included! Mahalo!

[CookieMonsterNoVeggi]

@finteshes the only issue is its never sunny in Seattle 2/3 of the year... I live there... It should be more like 'The grey-est skies youve ever seen are in Seattle'

[PepulzGuys]

My great-grandma planted those cherry trees on the street at 0:12

[gilfford]

sweet

are those the same ones?

[PepulzGuys]

Yeah- that was my friend who shares my account, those are the same ones

[jrbowler0222]

It doesn't happen a lot, but when you get a day like today, 70 degrees, clear deep blue sky, sun reflecting off the even deeper blue of the sound, white sails against dark green wooded shorelines, with the snowcapped Olympics in the background, it is nothing short of spectacular.

[hellomateybob]

i live in seattle! i dont want to live anywhere else. hahah

[TheUSAatYuToob]

Beautiful song,wonderful singer,spectacular city!

love it!

[Phil4545]

Great city. Too bad about the weather.

Those blue skies aren't frequent enough.

[EvieJK]

What a smooth, clean and sexy voice

[pickledpork]

Bishop Schuckardt was born in Seattle.

[wmarcus1203]

Im glad all I gotta do is look up to see those blue skies, Seattle is the best. I love it.

[pickledpork]

Cool. Bishop Schuckardt was born in Seattle.

[CrazyBoutThe70s]

imaculate clip...i love this song..i love Perry Como and the clips of the beautiful city of Seattle are the perfect finish!...

WELL DONE!

[grilledsamurai]

i wash dishes at the art museum... "in seattle"

[pickledpork]

Cool!You would know seattle real well. You like?

[grilledsamurai]

Yeah, like the back of my hand, it's very different, compared to like Chicago or New York. However, I'm growing tired of it, I might move to Tokyo next year for school.

[orosco83]

Thanks everyone from the comment. I have relatives that live in Seattle. Make over there about 4 times a year. We always visit Pike Place Market.

[CrazyBoutThe70s]

BEAUTIFUL CLIP...goes perfectly with images of Seattle...one of the worlds most beautiful cities!

[moneyusper]

@orosco83 More than just a few places in Seattle that I like. And yes I have visited Pikes Place. Oh dang, I cant' think of the name of the grape? that I feel in love with there..ah its the name of a mountain.. oh maybe Mount Rainer Cherries.........{From Nebraska}

[candyisc00l]

imish seattle too, i grew up there, i wanna return soon, starbucks rly does remind me of seattle

[glariviere]

Makes me home sick too, but I don't miss the rain. It was a good place to grow-up.

[NPStampede]

This makes me homesick. Having lived 42 years in the "Puget Sound Convergence Zone" on the west slope of the Cascades before I ended up in this forsaken desert, I miss the rain, trees, mountains and being able to go sledding on the 4th of July at the Big Four Ice Caves. Obviously Perry Como was in Seattle during the two weeks of summer in August. When this song came out in 1969, it was a terrible time in Seattle when Boeing fell on it's butt and everybody was leaving town.

[Maxwell1901]

August 1969 was also a lousy month for the Pilots, but not as bad as March 1970. That's when they became the Milwaukee Brewers. I've visited Seattle four times and I have great memories from each trip. On a clear day, the views of Mt. Rainier from downtown defy description - and yes, the skies were as blue as zirconia.

[mrdivot22]

You haven't missed much Mike.. We only had one week of summer this year.
