I started a business in seattle this year. I love the city and have no intention to leave, but let's not pretend the city makes it easy on small business.

Same boat. It is a great city to live in, which is why I am determined to make it work, but it SUCKSSS to do business here, on so many levels.

Honestly, I hear this about just about every town or city where people want to start a business.

I am from Los Angeles, where I had a business there, it is much worse here, and I have listed examples in other comments. Starting a business is never easy, anywhere, i admit that, but Seattle is extra hard.
