Whoever told you Seattle is a 'redneck shithole' is retarded. Seattle and it's surrounding bedroom communities are great places.
In regards to you, Julian, perhaps it's the family connection that's tainted Seattle for you. In my opinion, it's hard to find big cities that still have a unique identity these days. Most cities now are just turning into little NYCs. The waterfront is great, though overshadowed by that crazy freeway. The buskers and other street performers were all pretty good. The hobo problem in the older districts has been cleaned up, I think, and I only saw a few in the whole city (in huge contrast to Vancouver, I tell you, which is infested with hundreds upon hundreds of marching hobos).
The Seattle Center rules. The Space Needle is great and the outdoor movie theater at night is a really good idea. The EMP is by far the most interesting place, and just an amazing idea- the Sci-Fi museum below it is pretty cool too. The Monorail is FIXED! Though it's not really that long it's still a nice ride. Woodland Park Zoo is the best zoo I ever went to.
I think we're forgetting how awesome the WTC Riots were, too.
