We have had three wonderful days of warmth and sun which prompts me to write: Only in Seattle

1. Only in Seattle do they say on the traffic report to leave early for work because there are slowdowns due to drivers looking at the spectacular scenery.

2. Only in Seattle if you hesitate at a green light, nobody will honk at you if there is a view of water at the intersection.

3. Only in Seattle do I notice people out for walks with their eyes squinted or their arms up to block the sun--where are those sunglasses, anyway??

4. Only in Seattle can people tell you where on the freeways are the best views of Mt. Rainier or Mt. Baker.

5. Only in Seattle do people not wear jackets and actually wear shorts in the winter if the sun shines and the temperature climbs above 50.
