Time for ONLY IN SEATTLE
1. Only in Seattle do we go to dinner to the newest hippest place according to my daughter called the "Lark" and see one of the former Mayors of Seattle eating there as well with his wife. Norm and Connie Rice were very popular and I wanted to get their autograph but thought that would disrupt their dinner. Wonderful food, by the way.
2. Only in Seattle do my children go to school with some of the relatives of the Nordstrom family (they do not have the same name). One particular girl from this family seems to be a victim of the fake n' bake phenomenon. Here where most everybody of the Caucasian persuasion is a pasty white, tan people stick out. If you are tan you are either from California or you visit a tanning salon. Some teen age girls go a little too often to the tanning salon and then bleach their hair too blonde and they become known as the fake n' bakes.
3. Only in Seattle would I know someone who worked for the Gates but not at Microsoft. She actually worked for Melinda Gates and helped manage the household personnel. My friend thought members of our investment club would really like Melinda but then.....oh yea....she doesn't really need to join a $30 a month investment club.
4. Only in Seattle where the social lines are blurred would I be friends with a member of one of the famous founding families of Seattle. In fact, this family started King 5 television. Wealthy and successful people in Seattle just don't act like they should be on Dynasty--nope--you cannot tell.
5. Only in Seattle where social lines are non-existent and where a list of the major individual political donors was in the newspaper would my husband comment that he has had lunch with most of these people. Of course, these very same people are very supportive of the University and every year they have a luncheon with scientists so they can chat about the newest developments.
