I refuse to say I'm from Seattle. I have friends who say this so they don't have to explain where they're from. It irks me. Also, Seattle isn't the only city in Washington, which is why it annoys me when I say I'm from Washington and people immediately respond with Seattle.

That’s a good point, and you certainly can’t trust the developers to consider what the infrastructure can handle. They just want to sell houses. IMO, the strain on infrastructure is an easier problem to deal with in the long run. Upzoning discussions are so fraught, whereas if sewage is overflowing I feel like it’s pretty easy to get people on board with upgrading the sewer system.

I would actually like Tahoma for the name. How do we change this lol because I want to hear people say I’m from Yakima, Tahoma or Tacoma, Tahoma.

Do you know how many non-WA people cannot say Puyallup, Yakima, Spokane, Tacoma. my favorite is Took-Weela (Tukwila). I would love to hear Tahoma pronounced after it 😂

Depending on where you're staying, and what you're doing you may or may not need to rent a car.

If you're staying in the city then you can probably skip the car rental

If you're wanting to see some of the beautiful areas around here I'd recommend getting a car.
