I'm in Seattle WA and i have to say this has to be the coolest city i have ever been to in the United states. People are super friendly, everyone is environmentally conscious, the geography is amazing (especially coming from Florida), the food is amazing, and there just seems like theres lots to do. Unfortunately I've been working the entire time I've been here, but i extended my flight a couple days to hang out and see the sites. If you ever have the opportunity to come here in the summer (i hear its pretty miserable in the winter), take it. As for the sleepless part I've been literally up all night working and then the east coast wakes up and starts asking for shit so the transition is pretty lame. Especially when people still think you are on the east coast.
