I've been living on the Eastside for almost half a year now, and I find people in the area extremely friendly. Also in Seattle.
I guess it's a matter of what we're comparing to. Compared to most southern Brazilian people, Seattleites are very, very friendly.
I used to think it rude of baristas or burger clerks to check their phone while prepping my order, but instead now I check my phone at the same time. I think the key to it not being rude is to synchronize, so we all pop in and out of the conversation at the same time.
