We love our artisanal deep brown , breathless hikes , and telling you about every exclusive thing onthe carte du jour at Dick ’s . But there are also some things we Seattleites take the utmost pleasure in that revel in their own simplicity . Admit it , you may not know a matter about football , but you ’ll be damned if the spirit of the 12th man does n’t pump through your nervure . Here are our most shamed of pleasures :
Secretly loving every rainy day
“ Seattle issogloomy . Youdefinitelydon’t desire to move here , ” you tell anyone thinking of ring Seattle base . Of course this is a big , juicy Trygve Lie . You love stick indoors and feature a near Netflix binge on those rainy day .
Acting like a coffee expert when you only go to Starbucks
It ’s technically local , veracious ? Definitely .
Running through the International Fountain at the Seattle Center
Are you a raise grownup ? Yes . Can you resist running as close as potential to the International Fountain without getting spray in the face ? Hell no !
Eating at Dick’s while making dick jokes
It ’s a longsighted , voiceless job , butsomeone has to do it .
Complaining about the Seattle Freeze while actively doing it to others
make friends is hard to do in Seattle . So hard , in fact , that we have aspecial termfor it . It give suck , and you ’ll complain about it , but you probably wo n’t actually do anything to make it better . Besides , Game of Thronesis on tonight , and people are overrated .
Unabashedly waiting in line for cheap pasta
Il Corvoin Pioneer Square is only open for lunch during the calendar week , and long pedigree out the threshold highlight that fact . as luck would have it , it ’s also the full pasta in the metropolis .
“Working” from home on a Friday
Riiiggghhhhtttttt .
Belting out “Thrift Shop” at a karaoke bar
We ’ve all been there .
Checking out everyone at thenaked bike ride
100 of mass pillage down , paint their bodies , and cycle around Fremont each year to celebrate the summer solstice . You ’ve attend . We ’ve all looked .
Staying out all night in Capitol Hill just to eat a Seattle dog
Clubbing on Capitol Hill is fun and all . But you ’re really in it for the delicious , pick cheese - slathered spicy dog at the terminal of the night .
Riding the ferry to West Seattle for a mini vacation
It ’s the thoroughgoing escape from the metropolis without actually , you lie with , leaving the city .
Calling yourself an explorer after going on one hike
Take a look at Tinder profiles around Seattle and you ’ll see tons of pictures of beautiful forests , mountains , and waterfalls . But do n’t be fooled – that hottie belike does n’t jazz the Cascades from the Olympics .
Getting fresh fruits and veggies at Pike Place Market
They have a all-inclusive raiment of offerings !
Building a bonfire at Golden Gardens
There ’s simply nothing more relaxing than this on a summer ’s Nox .
Turning into a Seahawks fan even though you don’t watch football
You may not know the first thing about football , but the spirit of the 12th human beings runs through your venous blood vessel .
