Seattle, they like the Bay a lot. They like the Bay area sound, the West Coast sound.
I lived on the West Coast my entire life and I’ve seen first hand how the homeless crisis is spiraling out of control in cities like Seattle and Portland and Los Angeles.
Playing in Seattle, ‘The 12’ are extremely loud. At first, I could be on the field, two feet away from you and not hear a single thing you’re saying. But once you get used to the noise, you use it to your advantage. It charges you up.
Seattle isn’t known for a particular production sound, so that leaves a lot of great producers in Seattle doing kind of their own thing. And I think, for me, I was probably enough removed from hip-hop that my style was even a little bit weirder than that.
Everything that I want to do as a player, I started there. So, of course, I had some love for Seattle and was hoping that I could go back there.
The city of Seattle has become my second home for my family and I.
I mean, if you look at all the great romantic screwbally kind of movies from the ’30s and ’40s, they’re all in New York. Even ‘Sleepless in Seattle,’ a movie about Seattle, ends up in New York, of course. The whole country, even if they’ve never been to New York, knows about it… from the movies.
In some cities, McDonald’s rules, but Seattle is ruled by teriyaki joints.
I went to the University of Washington in Seattle. This was a very good place to study, and I learned a lot. But it wasn’t the right place for my Ph.D.
I come from a town in Washington state that might not be too familiar to Clevelanders called Chelan. It’s really beautiful. It’s about two-and-a-half hours east of Seattle and two-and-a-half hours west of Spokane. It’s right in the middle of the state.
I was this weird misfit guy from suburban Seattle, I never really fit in, and then I became a drama geek, among all the other different kinds of geek that I was growing up, and I found I was pretty good at it.
What’s my favorite thing about Seattle? It’s Ho Ho’s Restaurant.
If the opponents of an increase in the minimum wage were correct, then every time you fly to Seattle, you’ve got to bring a bagged lunch because there shouldn’t be any restaurants because they should have all have gone out of business as a result of raising the minimum wage.
Chris Cornell painted in song the darkness and beauty of life in Seattle.
We still have our home in Seattle. The kids are there. The grandkids are there.
I naively thought I would quit television writing, move up to Seattle, my novel would come out, and then I’d have a novel writing career, and so I found myself really stuck in this very poisonous self-pitying state and felt like I’d never write again. And I blamed Seattle for that.
Nirvana was like that- Nirvana was like the only band to come out of that- it was like the same thing, Seattle was like this whole scene and it was like this big scene that was thrust upon America.
I grew up a Seattle Sonics fan, in Washington state.
Started an early career with Seattle, came straight in and they gave me a chance to play early.
I confess to loving a good murder mystery – anything by Scott Turow or John Grisham. Maybe it’s a holdover from my days as a criminal prosecutor in Seattle.
In Seattle, I’ve talked about how Pete Carroll is such… I’m kind of surprised at the variety of styles that successful coaches can have. Some are very communicative and positive and energized – like, Pete Carroll has all that in spades. Some of them are more cerebral; some are more directive.
And Seattle isn’t really crazy anymore. It’s a big dot-com city.
Whenever Elvin Jones comes to Seattle I try to go catch him.
I travel a lot and rarely make it home to Seattle.
We have such an amazing drag community, and I don’t think people fully realize it about Seattle.

When I played in the NBA for 12 years, Seattle had some of the best fans in the NBA.
It was not until I got my first job, at the University of Washington in Seattle, and began playing chess with Don Gordon, a brilliant young theorist, that I learned economic theory.
I think what’s beautiful when you’re looking at artists like Macklemore and you’re looking at artists like Ayron Jones, they’re proud of Seattle and they’re bringing it back. Seattle’s a real music town. When you act ashamed of that, you should be pushed outta the game as far as I’m concerned.
Life in Newcastle has been a lot more similar to life in Seattle, which has been great. The city is relaxed but, just like Seattle, Newcastle’s passion for their team is second to none. You get recognized walking down the street or when you’re around town.
I left Green Bay for Seattle in 1999. I wonder what would have happened had I stayed in Green Bay, where I’ve got one of the best quarterbacks of all time in his prime.
I would like to thank all of the fans who have supported me throughout my career with the New England Revolution, Fulham, Tottenham, Seattle Sounders, and the U.S. Men’s National Team. Y’all have always made me feel at home, and it is something that I will always remember.
I remember my very first audition for a film. I was in Seattle. They were taping the session, and I just went crazy. The director finally said, ‘Zoe, what are you doing? The camera’s right here. Just talk to me.’ And it took that director saying that to me to change everything.
I can’t stand it when restaurants don’t have a sense of place in a city. When I’m in London, I want to know I’m in London. When you’re sitting in my joint, you know you’re sitting in Seattle.
The Clippers are the L.A. Clippers, and they will remain the L.A. Clippers. There is no question about that. I live in Seattle. I will continue to live in Seattle.

Seattle is a fantastic place to build a great technology-enabled consumer company.
If you started in New York you were dealing with the biggest guys in the world. You’re dealing with Charlie Parker and all the big bands and everything. We got more experience working in Seattle.
I think Seattle has a great sort of luxury and comfort sensibility, which I oftentimes think is lost in fashion for fashion’s sake.
January 14, 2000, was my first time on stage, and I’ve been hooked ever since. I got discovered nationally in Seattle by the now-defunct HBO Comedy Festival, and that led to an appearance on ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live’ and a path to a professional comedy career.
I collect old Coon Chicken Inn memorabilia. I collect black memorabilia, like old minstrel posters. It was a real place. There was one in Seattle, one in Portland, and one in Salt Lake City. They started in 1925, and then they went out of business around 1958.
Seattle is very similar to Minneapolis. I like the culture; I like the people. I raced a bike and won a national championship on Lake Washington in 1977, so I’ve had a connection there for a long time.
All I really had was a suitcase and my drums. So I took them up to Seattle and hoped it would work.
I grew up in Seattle, but I always knew I wanted to leave.
I think I owe it to the people of Seattle, and myself, to retire as a Mariner.

I’m not super-polite or civil – I try to be civil, but I’m not into Seattle’s niceties, and I’m not hugely wired into Seattle’s natural beauty.
I was dishwasher, then promoted to chef in a local kitchen in a restaurant in Seattle, and I was working on a building site as well, putting in insulation and painting houses, and then doing some classes at a community college nearby.
Experiments at Seattle aquarium prove that octopuses can tell individual humans apart – even when the people are dressed identically – just by looking up at them through the water.
I absolutely think the Seattle grunge sound was instrumental to my music education.
In college, you always say you’re looking for a home. I found my home in Seattle before I did in college. So that’s why I say I love it here.
I don’t know when, or how, but I feel it: Basketball will come back to Seattle.
Seattle is the place where you can really find any kind of food, especially Japanese food.
I do not see Windows Phones anywhere in the world except Seattle.
I attended schools in Seattle through the University of Washington, from which I was graduated in 1931. I spent the next year at Northwestern University.
At the end of the day, no one has won more games than Russell Wilson and the Seattle Seahawks to start a guy’s career, right. So success there has also made them a little, you know, it’s almost spoiled them a little bit.
It’s still fun to come to games, and it’s still fun to be in the Seattle crowd.
Growing up in Seattle, I was always that kid who didn’t subscribe to what everyone else was wearing.
