"I grew up in Seattle but always knew I wanted to leave" - David Guterson

I admire people who fearlessly speak their truth, and a lot of what Lisa Albers said yesterday on Crosscut resonated with me.

I truly love this city, but we're way too self-absorbed and way too defensive about being self-absorbed. (Check out the comments she got for confirmation.) The world is bigger, peeps. Expand your horizons.
