that’s been an issue since the beginning of time, I’m thinking. I’ve been here for almost 39 years, and every time I’d say I live in West Seattle, others would chime in “That’s soooo far away.”.No, it’s not, although transportation can be iffy at times. Excluding rush hour, it’s 10 minutes to downtown by car, 15-20 minutes to Pill Hill if you go the long way. 20 minutes or so to Ballard.
If you reverse that, I suppose we could be saying :You live in Ballard? That’s soooo far away !” :)
I have friends in Wallingford who just came over the bridge last night to go to Arts West. So, it’s not out of the question. I guess the “far away”perception is what’s kept WS “quaint” (until the latest round of development.) I hope you find some “locals” to hang with. And when we have our next forum “meetup” (whenever that will be) I hope you come :)
