gorp.com gets twiggy for seattleidad

"All towns are not created equal. Just ask Seattle. Mountains (hell, they've got volcanoes), shimmering alpine lakes, craggy, surf-pounded shore... forget java jolts, it'd be an outrage if these folk weren't seriously hyperactive."

[hell yea we have volcanos. & i get to live here, 24/7/52. if you have to live in a country reeling over the edge, you might as well be in a far north west corner beyond the mountains from the rest of it. this is where the fresh air comes in. it's even in the the same umph-order watershed as vancouver, you could just about swim there in a pinch.]
