Default Greeting from Mid-A!

Hi all! I'm here in Seattle (Bellevue, WA) for training this week. I have to say I'm very surprised. I'm from the DC/Northern VA/MD area. 99% of girls here are slim and pretty, the weather had been beautiful(I have been here since Sunday night), the streets are clean, 0 ghetto people, diverse communities(I'm Asian myself and I see lots of Asians walking around). Is it always like that here or I just happen to be in the good area and catching the good days? How are the house prices here? I'm in love with this place.

Glad to hear that you're finding our part of the contry enjoyable. Weather-wise, you showed up at a good time. Around this time of year it's usually rainy or overcast most days until the end of spring. But when it's nice like it has been the past few days the views around here are some of the best in the world. I came from back east (NYC) years ago. Yeah, this place won me over in no time, happy to be living here now. Enjoy your stay!

That's Bellevue for ya. I hope the 20+ cranes and all the construction in the downtown area aren't driving you too crazy, there's a lot of development going on. The city is a wonderful sight at night. What do you do if you don't mind my asking?

Oh not at all. I'm not a drug dealer or anything. I'm an IT consultant. I'm here for a conference hosted by Microsoft. I'm flying Friday morning. Anywhere I should definitely hit before I go back to depressing DC?

Oooh, nice joint that. I stayed there a year and a half and ago when I came here to interview. I'm a big fan.

Any time you wanna go out for a cocktail lemme know. I frequent The Parlor which is literally stumbling distance from the Westin.

So you're at Westin? Then if you have a rental car with you try taking a drive down Lake Washington Blvd. between 5pm - 6pm while the sun is setting (it's really close by). The lake at sunset is an awesome sight, and the road can be a nice showcase for Italian and British exotics if the weather is good. It's a great place to eat or go to any of the bars there as well, but I don't have any particular recommendations.

If you have a chance to go get yourself some lunch in downtown Bellevue, go to Broiler Bay for an avocado bacon burger & some deep fried zucchini sticks!

When I'm on business in Seattle area I usually stay in Bellevue. Clean, lots of good places to eat.... and not quite as hectic as Seattle.

If he;s gonna do this he better go a little earlier because that road gets congested in the evening... on president's day it was clear and everyone was outside having a good time but on a working day it's kinda annoying.

It's absolutely /ridiculous/ during rush hour. But, that's part of the fun on a nice day when you have nowhere to be.
