I think there is an ache that comes from living here, and I feel it's more of a consequence of high cost living in major urban centers as opposed to being unique to Seattle.

It's expensive here, but it's supposed to be worth it because ultimately Seattle and Washington and I are wanting to see the same type of communities and culture thrive.

Every action is a political one and by living here versus somewhere else we're actualizing the political power of our time, money, and geography.
