"i couldn't tell if it was a mall or very big monorail station."

Its a mall and a big monorail station.

"deciding between seattle, philadelphia, tampa, and miami"

I'd go for Seattle, but I admit, I'm prejudice. I have no need for anyplace East of the Rockies.

Wow, does this take me back! When did you film this? I lived in Seattle from February 1990 until November 2001. I hung out at Pike Place Market all the time, because I got really good health care at Pike Market Clinic, also I was often at Victor Steinbruck (spelled?) Park, sketching people and having little picnics. Thanks for the video! It made me sorta homesick for Seattle.

"When did you film this?"

Sept. 9 1997. Some day when you were living there. Yea Seattle is cool. I want to visit again sometime:)

I was born and raised in Seattle and It's so weird I was like on my way into 7th grade when you recorded this video. It's so strange to see the old metro buses and stuff and those guys that played the drums, there used to be more and they haven't been out there in years. Wow watching this video took me back! I'm surprised I didn't see myself walking around out there.

[an80sGuy]

Thanks I'm happy you enjoys it. The guys on the drums were cool. I remember I stood there and watched them for quite a while. Downtown Seattle was a lot of fun. A lot of things going on. Someday I'll get back there again.

in frisco u step over a bum every 10 yards...its smells and its dirty.....downtown seattle kills frisco with ease

Continually misspelling the name of a city you claim to love so fucking much isn't really helping you out any, son.

I can honestly smell the jealousy/hatred you have for Seattle from here, yet you refuse to share whatever it is that you dislike or why SF is better - it's not a competition, why be ignorant? Both cities are nice at the end of the day and there are positive and negative points that can be made for each (and every city).

[120xCHIEFx120]

If anyone is wondering where to live in Seattle, you should consider West Seattle.

[durantpower]

i love seattle, there is always the same ppl beating on buckets, playing the trumpet, and dressed up as someone different everytime downtown, some of them know me by face when i go there.. lol its a nice place :)

@youngdeacon05 Two words: You're insane.  And, as if there aren't homeless people in Seattle Yeesh.

BTW original 7 hills of Seattle are Capitol, Beacon, Queen Anne, First, Denny, Yesler, and Renton. Denny was razed, and Yesler and Renton aren't really recognized as hills anymore, leaving 4. But original list didn't count West Seattle, Magnolia bluff, and Crown Hill, so you could say there are still 7 hills in Seattle.

I hate Westlake Center, horrible shitty place. Elevator is extremely slow, wait 5 minutes for it to come.  Bathrooms are horrible, up on the 3rd floor and hard to access. Stall doors are too low, sinks fucking suck because you have to hold the faucet in place to keep water running, very unsanitary. Westlake Center fucking sucks, fuck it. Hate it.
