Hello Seattle

I'm from Washington. And make your jokes bout how Seattle is the land of sparkly vampires and clearly people up in heaven pee on us all day long in the form of rain but you gotta admit, I come from the best place in the world. Let's start with the basics- COFFEE. Starbucks? Seattle's Best Coffee? Technically, we are responsible for waking you all up. Coffee runs through my veins and that comes from being a Seattle girl (bred but not born). Another obvious one- MUSIC. I mean- Macklemoore, Owl City, 3oh!3, Ed Sheeran, Alex Clare, Afro Jack- there's a reason why Seattle has the best annual local music fest every year. Because we have the best local musicians! Thirdly, recently the bill was passed that gay marriage is now legal in Washington state. This is controversial, and even I'm not sure how I feel about it. But there's no denying that I come from a state that prides itself in respecting an individual even if they do't respect their beliefs. MICROSOFT. How can anyone deny the epicness that is the Windows Phone. (Tbh I can, I totally prefer Apple BUT that's not the point.) And of course- THE RAIN. Now I will admit, it gets annoying. It's annoying to spend twenty minutes on your hair when it's going to get ruined the second you walk outside. It's annoying to buy waterproof mascara instead of the regular kind which is much less expensive. But, all that rain is the reason why Seattle is so breathtaking. Like seriously. Every corner is like a painting. And lastly- THE SEAHAWKS. And while they certainly aren't superbowl material (infact they kind of suck most of the time), they're a great team and I'm proud to be associated with them. Just like I'm proud to say "Yes I'm from Seattle, Washington."
