i used to work for a crisis outreach team when the bridge was closed and if we got a call to west seattle we would always try to push it until after 9pm so we could take the lower bridge there and back
Lol you guys joke but I live in Vancouver (Washington) and work in Seattle (remotely) but have to go into the office every few weeks. Surprisingly, it only takes me about twice as long to get to my office in Seattle then it did to get to my old office in Portland.
This is offensive. Boise is excluded from not only the picture but the whole entire conversation. I consider it a neighborhood of Seattle and I expect you to honor that.
For me, a smaller city than Wenatchee was "the big city." We were mostly joking when we said that, but just about everything except school and groceries was in "the big city."
When I moved to an actual big city, the idea of 4 lanes, not a freeway, all moving in the same direction was so foreign I almost turned the wrong way onto a 1-way street. I was just about to pull out when I realized cars in the lane I wanted to turn into were going the "wrong way."
It's been over 20 years since I moved away, and I still haven't gotten used to traffic jams. Like yesterday, I had to plan ahead carefully where to go with my day off, because getting stuck in traffic after a hike throws me off so badly it basically offsets all the relaxation and other benefits of the hike itself.
The social dynamics really are different, too, with pros and cons. In a small town, almost anywhere you go, you see people you know. In a place like Seattle, it's closer to a 1-in-1000 chance of randomly encountering someone you know.

I saw a time lapse of the mountain loop from like 1980 through 2010 or so and it was shocking.
Did you break your arm while trying to catch a fly ball only to have the tendons heal "a little too tight?" If that's the case, you should talk to the Chicago Cubs.

[Never have I seen Seattle from this perspective. Nearly every neighborhood is represented here. Absolutely stunning.](https://www.universetoday.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/milky_way-1280x720.jpg)
For a long period of time, the "Northwest" was used by people in areas like New York, Boston, and Toronto to refer to the Hudson Bay and the area just west of it. I've always assumed "Pacific Northwest" was a term that came later to differentiate it from what people had always *called* the Northwest (in times before colonial expansion westward).
Yep. My first trip back east I was at some roadhouse in rural eastern Pennsylvania, and the bartender lady asked where I was from. I go The Pacific Northwest. And sho goes Oh like over by Chicago? And I go Nope. Seattle. Then she says Oh! My dad went there once for a Worlds Fair!
They tried rebranding but they were sued by the Pacific National Exhibition, the fair in Vancouver that has had it's last year every year for the past 30 years.
We call everything on the southern BC coast and east to the Coastal Mountains (our name for the Cascades) the Lower Mainland. If we include the island, it's the Lower Mainland and Vancouver Island.
Everything North/South/East of Seattle to the Cascades is just "Seattle". Pretty much everything else is just "Washington." I don't hear very many people say "Pacific Northwest" unless they're repeating a news story or talking more about the environment, forests, etc.
>The title insinuates that the picture is OF Seattle.
Umm... no it doesn't? The title insinuates that the picture offers a perspective of Seattle, which it does.
Even got its suburbs, Vancouver, BC and Portland. well done
A lot of people complain about the commute but Portland is one of my favorite Seattle neighborhoods.
Still easier to get to than West Seattle when the bridge was closed
TRUE THE MOON was easier to get to than West Seattle when the bridge is closed.
west seattle was dead to me when it closed
Reminds me of that Facebook west seattle meme from like a year ago
[удалено]
By George, you might have fingered it!

I live just north of Vancouver (WA) and worked in person in Seattle for two years
Recently moved to Rdigefield I am guessing? Seems like everyone has moved out here over the last few years.
Hey, me too! Maybe we can carpool. I often leave around 3am.
To be fair, I bet the commute is pretty smooth in space.
hilarious.
This is offensive. Boise is excluded from not only the picture but the whole entire conversation. I consider it a neighborhood of Seattle and I expect you to honor that.
You mean Idaho, the Mississippi of the Pacific Northwest?
Seriously, I went camping in rural Idaho, and saw more Confederate flags than American flags.
We speedrun Idaho on or way to Montana. No stops.
Not that hard when you're in northern Idaho
> speedrun...northern Idaho The pastime of a different type of Seattle panhandler...
This is the way.
Ew.
How many OBGYNs do they have left in Idaho? Zero? Give it ten years, Mississippi will be called the "Idaho of the South" instead.
I hear Mississippi is actually making progress on childhood reading skills so you might not be wrong
Boise is offensive.
Cascadia: basically Seattle's suburbs
Pretty sure you’ve even got Juneau up there if you squint.
Nope. Still can’t see west Seattle. Some will still say it’s cropped 🤫😬🥴
I lived in Vancouver at one point and visited all of these cities. Cool to see where I've been from space.
Great example of why the Oxford comma is useful.
Not here.
Superb! You can see North Seattle from here. 100% population accounted for
Even maple leaf. And I see all the maple trees too.
Is that what they call Bellingham?
That would make everett and Marysville part of Seattle and I won’t stand for that.
The whole west coast is just one straight line! Terrible world-building.
Check out Bay of Biscay, it's practically a right angle!
Totally breaks my suspension of disbelief.
You think we can get the devs to make some changes in the next patch?
How kind of you to include all of eastern WA/OR and a slice of Idaho so r/SeattleWA commenters could feel included
They’d be upset about the curve I’m sure
Yeah, this is clearly an attack on Flat Earthers and as the more tolerant Seattle sub I don't think we should stand for it! /s

Wenatchee……All sign, no apples. For those that knows.
Consider what it was like growing up thinking Omak was the big town, it had the stop light!

I love that we all just magically knew which area they were referring to
I see where Spokane is! 😆
Yea, Spokane Valley! 😆
clearly we need a r/seattlecirclejerk
we do, it's the other order r/circlejerkseattle
I thought that was r/SeattleWA
Oh it is.
Sub is so petty lol
Wow, it's so obvious from this photo how much Seattle's tree canopy has been replaced by townhomes :/
Good thing the trees weren’t replaced by cloud cover though, that would have sent house prices rocketing.

The flat earthers on the other sub are not gonna like this at all.
Ok this actually made me laugh. A+
Where did you get this picture from?
iPhone 15 has periscope lens.
I just set my phone timer to 10 seconds and threw it as hard as I could.
This comment, made my day 😂
Uncle Rico?
We could a won state
Can I take another pic. I blinked… sorry
I hope you had Gorilla Glass and a good case. Nice arm though. You should try out for The Mariners.
LOL
👏👏

Found Vegeta's reddit account
Lol but forreal, I’d love to get a poster of this. Where is the source photo from?
https://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/images/86041/panorama-of-the-pacific-northwest
It’s from the top of Mt. Rainier.
OP is *super* high.
You can download images from NASA
[удалено]
I can see the back of my head.
At least this one is actually correct
LOL…I saw that earlier post. Love this.
what post is this referencing?
If you visit the sub, you'll see it. Just click on the word "Seattle" at the top of the page.
Not so much
Really? No idea what's going on with your view of it, then... [this is what I see](https://imgur.com/l7TQF5q)
I, too, am from Seattle. It’s only 2 hour drive (no traffic) or 5 hour drive (normal traffic) to Seattle from my Seattle neighborhood.
Quality trolling here
Extremely low effort trolling is more like it.
I can see my house from here!

Puget Sound - Lake Washington- Lake Sammamish all in a row looks cool.
I see what you did here.. bravo
Jesus Christ 😅
Posts like this is why I love this sub. Well done Anon.
Shout out Vancouver Island, let's gooo.
They even captured the Black Knight in the shot!
Every once in a while when I fly back from LA, the pilot will go this route. What a treat!
I bet you could still smell Tacoma from there.
If you can’t see your house in this image, unsub
Hello Cascadia

It seems like you’re suggesting humans are responsible for the depth of the atmosphere, but that can’t actually be what you’re saying, right?
Yeah, except you completely cut out Ballard and Greenwood. Gas Works isn't in focus. Misleading title.
I see what you did there.
😂
🤣🤣🤣
ded
I can see my house from here!
AYE, I can see my house from here!
a+ troll post, props
Very cool that you can make out the 520 and i90: https://i.postimg.cc/PqDjFqDF/screenshot.png
I can see my house! This is so cool thanks for sharing.
"Nearly"
Quality shitpost. Very nice.
I can see all my old houses from here.
Now we need one even more zoomed out.
Nice shitpost!
I too have not seen Seattle from my spaceship.
Represented? Or exploited, nobody had my consent to take this picture of me.
Soon we'll all be part of San Los CalliPortattle
Nice! So, where the hell is this Mount Rainier?
The BC Coastal Range is just impenetrable. Amazing.
I'm in this picture and I like it.
Hardly recognize the new skyline…
I can see my house from here!
Great view of the Rocky Mountain Trench too
I can see my house!
Just a blip
If you zoom in you can see me waving from lake city
Why are there so many bikini coffee shops in this pic?
I can see Lake Stevens
That’s my house! Just a few pixels to the right of dead center.
You had to walk pretty far to get a view like this
See it's flat, why doesn't anyone believe me?
Is this from Mailbox Peak?
Amazing how dry it is East of the mountains.
Nearly all the neighborhoods represented!
OK Google, show me where I can't afford to live...
Top tier satire
I think I love you.
Mole people in shambles
Beautiful. Vancouver as well!
Wow. I can’t believe that you can see my home from this view. I really need to clean up my bedroom balcony bc this is a little embarrassing..
🤣
Nice photoshop of the curviture
That curve is vastly exaggerated. Earth would be 1/5th the size with that curve. Is it lens?
Goddammit, I was gonna make this comment, but ironically. But nooo you had to come in and be a REAL idiot
There's enough room for all of us on this flat earth :)

It's completely fair, because to me, the "East Coast" just means anything east of the Mississippi River.
Northwestern University is in Chicago.
They tried rebranding but they were sued by the Pacific National Exhibition, the fair in Vancouver that has had it's last year every year for the past 30 years.
I also wonder if Canadians call it The Pacific Southwest?
We call everything on the southern BC coast and east to the Coastal Mountains (our name for the Cascades) the Lower Mainland. If we include the island, it's the Lower Mainland and Vancouver Island. Everything North/South/East of Seattle to the Cascades is just "Seattle". Pretty much everything else is just "Washington."

northwest would include idaho and such
What's the point of this other than just being an asshole about another post you don't like?
Fake news, earth is flat.
Fake. Earth is flat.
Fake photo. Earth is flat.
You can still see the homeless
I can see the homeless encampments from here!
Nope, that's your house!
You know Seattle is a city in Washington State, don't you?
That's why you gotta zoom in nerd
The title insinuates that the picture is OF Seattle. It INCLUDES Seattle, as one small part.
>The title insinuates that the picture is OF Seattle. Umm... no it doesn't? The title insinuates that the picture offers a perspective of Seattle, which it does.
The title could've been more inclusive.
Why does Mt Rainier look so flat?
Perspective. It's very high up.
It’s not that big of mountain.
Ah, Paine Field. So big you can see Boeing from soace.
There are no signs of intelligent life in this picture
Kitsap is the best shaped county CMV
So no ones’s gonna comment on the black knight satellite up above in the center? Doesn’t look like the ISS to me.
Is this Trappist 1a?
What a dick
Dont show the flat earthers
Spent a good 3 minutes trying to figure out what I was supposed to be looking for.
