I love this city. The view above is partly responsible; this was taken on the beach we live across the street from. From our house, we hear the sounds of the waves, and see the marine traffic of Elliott Bay, and breathe in the salty air. When I'm away from the ocean for very long it's hard for me to breathe. I love being within minutes of a beach and at the same time not very far from the mountains. I grew up in a similar setting in Valdez, Alaska; it provides me with a sense of comfort and familiarity. I also love living in the middle of a city and at the same time being so close to wilderness. I know there are beautiful forests and beaches everywhere, but the ones here, and this city, are close to my heart. And that is why I'm pretty sure this will always be my home.

Spectacular views. You can see why it was voted the city Americans would most like to live in.
OOhh yes..I agree with Ian. Love it!
Oh wow - your pictures are gorgeous! From your pictures I would vote to live in that city too.
I miss breathing in salty air.
beautiful city indeed!

WOW, that's pretty!
My sister lives there and loves it.
I believe Seattle to be a beautiful city. I enjoyed my visit there once on my way to camping at Mt. Rainier. The city experience was fun, and the mountain was/is breathtaking. You live in a lovely part of the country.
You are lucky to be so close to everything. Personally, I loved also downtown Seattle when I visited.
stunning! thanks lecia!
What a stunning mountain! Beautiful photos. I'd love to visit Seattle...
Have a great day,

Very nice view! I love the mountain shot!
That mountain is stunning !! I love mountains. I love the ocean ! I've always thought that the perfect place to live would have both !!
Beautiful and breath taking!!
When we are away from home as soon as we get back we head straight to the sea first and get our fix!!
Have a lovely day,

You know, I want to feel that way about the place where I live. My husband and I have been discussing options, and are seriously starting to consider possibilities. Life is far too short to live somewhere just because of circumstance and history.
OMG, those images are gorgeous. I want to visit NOW!
Cool shots I love Seattle and all it offers. Best of both worlds!
I too love Seattle. A beautiful and hospitable place to visit. Wonderful food and things to do. Only 3 hours by air from my little town of Anchorage Alaska.
I speak you in french because I'm french and my english bad...Tes photos sont magnifiques et cette montagne est impressionnante !
I love the sea too !:)
you do have the views there don't ya?! this is lovely.
You are fortunate. As I spent the weekend at the beach, I was wishing for a perfect location. . . with beach and mountains and city. Your place looks close.
Beautiful pictures and wonderfully written. I would so much want to visit Seattle.
Mmm, I love your city too. It's a place I would consider living. Except for the whole rain thing would make my hair frizzy.. but I could deal with that after seeing these gorgeous views!
Sometimes Corner View makes me green with envy and this post is one reason why! Even though I live in southern California and see mountains and beaches quite easily, they're certainly not visible from my own house. I would love to visit Seattle. Thanks for the corner view!
seattle is another city i could live in and i don't consider myself a city girl. my best friend lives in anchorage. i didn't realize you are an alaska native!

Your view is quite something.
I imagine it would be hard to leave but heavenly to return to.

Beautiful pictures of our beautiful city (especially when it's nice out!)
You really make me miss Seattle...
What a beautiful place to live, Lecia. I can totally relate about having to live near the ocean/beach. I don't like being land-locked.
I can see why! I would love to see it someday--I've never been there.
I love to see a mountain in the landscape, so beautiful!
Yeah! I stumbled upon your blog and was thrilled to see all of your beautiful pictures of Seattle! Your pictures are amazing! It's nice to see a fellow blogger from my home state!
wow! yes! seatle is simply spectacular. gorgeous photos!
Seattle is one of the places I could live, I have to have mountains. Great Pictures, thanks for sharing.
Seattle is one of my favorite places. We almost moved there a few years back...great photos!
that first picture is just amazing
your photographs are amazing!
Sounds and looks fantastic! I guess all the rumors are true about Seattle!
Best wishes from Morocco!

wow, I didn't see yours this week yet. It's so beautiful in Seattle!
Wow! I'm pretty sure that would always be my home, too, if I lived there. :-) Beautiful.
