5 things I've noticed about Seattle

First of all, I love blog. It's my journal pretty much. So my topic today is about Seattle's drought. Yes we went through a drought and broke our record. 30 days of sunny 70 degree weather and without rain! But of course it rained today and it ended that record. This however, lead me to think of some things I've noticed about being here in Seattle/Issaquah. Here is a quick peek of some of those things for ya'll.
1. Seattle doesn't really rain, it sprinkles. We get overcast often but we do see the sun even on a cloudy day. Drive 15 minutes is our theory for getting the sun. Oh look, the sun just came up as I'm writing this and it's forecasted to be cloudy today.
2. Seattle is the number one place to eat. Besides going to all the fun museums and zoos for a date, you can also go out to eat. There are so many choices on restaurants here to pick from. We just recently went to a Persian and Afghani restaurant.
3. If you like water, you've picked the right place. Puget Sound, Lake Union, Lake Washington, Lake Sammamish are all within 25 minutes of our house. Lake Sammamish is 5 minutes from our house. We are going to take advantage of kayaking in it in July.
4. Houses are expensive here. No home builders build just a simple boxy house like our house in Spanish Fork. They're all fancy with all sorts of angles and vaults and they all have a fine dining room even though they also provide a place for a nook. Makes it nice for less decorating but you pay the price for it.
5. It's very green here. They plant evergreens where ever they can such as on top of freeway bridges and overpass and you also have the natural evergreens...hence, this city is called "Emerald city". Very beautiful.
Once you've lived here, the desert seems boring. It grows on you, too!
