Well the surroundings of Seattle is better than that of Portland, but both cities are shiitholes, maybe 1 less than the other, but both suck. When you think about it, is there really any big city left in the USA that isn't a dump? Maybe salt lake city, I guess it depends if you consider it large enough to be a major city.
Its a shame that nobody here is addicted to what is basically a drug? Not to mention how bad smoking is for you.
