Despite what the talking heads may have you believe, crime has dropped significantly in Seattle since its population and economic growth.

Interstate-5, a fully-featured modern interstate highway, is a modern marvel. In the middle of the afternoon, we can travel an entire 13 miles in the span of just 60 minutes!
