I recently lived there for a few months. Most depressing, cold, dark city ever. Everybody looks like vampires, literally. One glimpse of the sun and these weirdos are putting shades on. I had to move to south Florida for a while just to recover. Yikes, don't even think of moving to Seattle.
In the more urban parts of town I think people are cautious of street types and panhandlers. Seems like that gives some people social blinders and the tendency towards self-preservation. I'd agree that getting involved in a group somehow would be a good idea. Don't be discouraged, Seattle is a great town filled with friendly people. Just learn to navigate.
Didn't live in Seattle but was with a U.S. Marine security detachment across the sound back in the early 80's.I experienced this aloofness myself.Didn't bother me because I'm some what aloof myself and chalked it up to the weather.But then I go to Vancouver BC and its a different world,chicks actually would talk to you,invite you to parties at UBC or get togethers with their friends from work and sorta wanted to show you off..Can't be the weather;Seattlites are just social retards.
The people are super creepy, the traffic sucks and it's a scummy city. Also, you feel like everyone is looking at you because you are an outsider.
I think though, they look at you because you are clean, and the locals do not shower.
Do not move to Seattle, you WILL regret it.
