I used to study and work in Seattle, for 8+ years. So I always have a special feeling tied to this city. I like most of stuff in Seattle. The city is beautiful, surround by lots of tree and water. People are usually friendly. It is a city filled with unique culture.This Sunday, the Seattle football team, Seahawk, will play for Superbowl for the 1st time in franchise history. News show the city is crazy on this coming event, and I can feel their emotion.
It is sad most pre-game analysis don't give Seahawk a chance to win. Every so-call experts favour Steeler, although Seahawk has a better record in regular season. Perhaps Seattle often give people an impression as "layback" city, lack of aggressiveness in another word. But I have a gut feeling the Seahawk will win this Sunday, and win big!! Go Seahawk!!

I've been to Seatle twice and I have to agree with you that it did seem more laid-back. That gave me a little more time to see the little interesting things there. The only complaint I have is that they don't like Californians. The tour guide of the underground tour (which was awesome!) mentioned that, and the mean policewoman who stopped me for speeding on a wide open road with a hard to see 35 mph sign also gave me that impression when I showed my driver license. Is it because they are jealous of what we have (weather, the development, popularity..etc)? I did meet other nice people there. However, I can't imagine myself living in such weather. Also things aren't cheap there.
I guess Seatle often see California as a competitor. Especially in the area of professional sport and hi-tech industry. And the weather, it is true it rains 9 months a year. I am used to it already. My wife can't stand it so we moved to Cali.
SEA 10, PIT 21.
A couple questional calls, a couple heart-breaking turn over, that ruins Seahawk games. But the good news is, now Seahawk has room to improve next Season. Go Seahawk!
