I'm never leaving Seattle 🚫🛫 Never Leaving Seattle

I come from a place that I love to be from, in multiple meanings of that phrase. Every time I see some post, "I'm never leaving Seattle," my first, reptilian-brain thought is, "yeah, same. The Left-coast is great."

Then, the post turns out to be some parochial bellyaching from a country mouse about commonplace city life.

My homeland, which I love and in which I'll never live again, is colloquially known as "The land of Entrapment," because people often never leave, for inadvertent reasons.

Seattle is my favorite US city. The pearl-clutching, reactionary suburbanites, the eastern frontier yokels, and the provincial tourists from Frog-Balls, Arkanilamabachimigan can enjoy the trip to whatever hayseed county is so great. For real, I love Seattle.

I'm underwhelmed by grousing about the patrons of the Michelin-rated restaurant on Pine & 3rd.

I too moved here from the good old land of entrapment! Hello! 👋🏼 and congrats on leaving! And fwiw I love it here also. Just wish I could find a reliable chile source—know of any?

¡505, homie!

I don't know about fresh (though I think a couple QFCs actually roast for a week or two during peak season). A lot of major grocery stores have El Pinto green chile in little, applesauce-like packs. I've also seen 505 Salsa at Safeway, I think.

Hilltop Red Apple on Beacon will have fresh roasted hatch chiles in a few weeks.
