telegraph guide to seattle

[rivendellrose]

The Telegraph profiles Seattle as a destination. Quite favorably, I should add.

I would add that I hope the author is aware that Frasier wasn't a real person (and really, since when was he a Seattle icon apart from being the only way people outside the state are aware of us?), and that my fair city pulls that "no rain for your whole first visit" trick on almost every tourist. It's a trap. But it's true that it really doesn't rain all that much during the summer. ...It's just near-constant drizzle for the rest of the year. ;)

I'm not sure why he liked the t-shirt shops so much, though. Or maybe I'm just jaded from seeing them all the time.

In all fairness to Frasier, don't people now know about Seattle via Grey's Anatomy? Sooo much sexier than Kelsey Grammer. ;)

My longtime Intel employee dad used to say they referred to summer in the Pacific Northwest as "recruiting season." I'm always justifying the rain to Californians (and transplants from warmer places) here, who put on the pouty face every time it rains for 20 minutes and complain about 50 degree weather.
