    Maybe the headline writer needs to read the story before hitting "enter." Looks to me like Seattle is two notches cooler than the headline states. And that's a good thing... right! Happy New Year!

    Yeah it's cool alright. Gloomy, rainy and depressing too most of the year. The traffic and roads suck more than anyplace I've ever been. Whoever wrote the article never lived here.
