I grew up in Seattle, but I always knew I wanted to leave.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I travel a lot and rarely make it home to Seattle.
I moved to Seattle when I was two or three years old. Had my early education there, and would spend summers on the farm in Maryland. Then I went to boarding school in New Hampshire, to St. Paul's School. From there, I moved to London.
Seattle is a place I've lived only a couple of years, but I feel like I've been adopted by this city. It's like a hug. I've been recognized on planes, in the airport and by cabdrivers. I don't get that anywhere else in the country.
The first time I lived in L.A. I was too young. I really wanted to be back home in Vancouver.
I love downtown Seattle. It's a city that has all of the outdoor activities and is still a very cosmopolitan city.
To some extent, Seattle remains a frontier metropolis, a place where people can experiment with their lives, and change and grow and make things happen.
When I was still in high school I knew I wanted to live in California.
Seattle is very similar to Minneapolis. I like the culture; I like the people. I raced a bike and won a national championship on Lake Washington in 1977, so I've had a connection there for a long time.
One of my favorite places is Seattle. Growing up, I never thought I'd be able to go to Seattle. I grew up in eastern South Carolina, so that's as far as you can get from Seattle, unless I lived in Miami.
So when we finally settled down outside of Seattle I felt totally uncomfortable with that idea.
