Enjoy the sunlight when it arrives. Exult in it. Don't sit indoors, trying to think of something to do when it's sunny outside. Just go outside. You'll thank yourself later. 2. Learn to love the rain. It's actually quite soothing when it comes back again. 3. Don't try to park downtown. Just don't. 4. I'm with Joe--don't buy the mularkey about us being cold. That's only in trendy places where people are trying to be hip and pretending that we live in a bigger city than we do. 5. Take 99 instead of 5. 6. Be here. It's extraordinary here. 1.

Never refer to I-5 as "The I-5". 2. Try at every opportunity to fight "The Seattle Freeze". In other words, strike up conversations with people in bars, coffe shops, wherever. There's a myth about Seattleites that we're cold and difficult to approach. It's not true. 1. Never refer to I-5 as "The I-5".
