Just wear closed-toe shoes so you don't get punctured by the discarded
heroin syringes laying all over, and watch out for piles of human poop
on the sidewalks. Definitely don't wander into one of the "tent
cities", as that could get ugly. Also bring a bottle of hand sanitizer liquid, and a set of brass knuckles isn't a bad idea.

As you often do, you're replying to me, but you snipped out *ALL* of
what I said, leaving no context.

Not sure what your reddit extract is supposed to show... basically it
says "you should be safe, as long as you're with somebody else".

Is that good enough? Would you walk there with your wife, or your
daughter?

Have you been to downtown Seattle recently? I have, and my comments
(that you conveniently snipped out) are spot on accurate.

Maybe you and your family should pay a visit and walk around there at
night.

I was there a few years ago for a concert and felt perfectly safe. We
walked quite a lot back to our hotel, a couple of miles and stopped on
a few bars along the way. Had no trouble.

A lot of people say to avoid 3rd Ave, especially between Pike and Pine,
and use 1st or 4th instead. 2nd has bars and restaurants if you want to
stop.

Yes, been there. Done that.

After a concert we walked 2.5-3 miles back to the hotel from Climate
Pledge Arena. Nobody bothered us. It was a nice night.

I am planning to see the band Rush in October there.
Although Seattle is known to be colorful and crazy like Portland, I hope it ends up better than Los Angeles.

Enjoy. There's plenty to do there. The Space Needle, obviously, and there's a Museaum of Pop Culture that's worth a visit, and the Chihuly Garden and Glass which is quite impressive.

Los Angeles was OK but tons of graffiti which makes the place look a bit of an eyesore, and you see tents everywhere coming out of the airport, a reminder that some are not as fortunate.

I saw in another of your posts that this was "a few years ago". Things
have changed. My question above said "recently"... Go there again now
and see what you think.

I use QWK to access my board, so I only have the most recent messages.
My intent was that the OP would see the message and learn something
from it.

Not sure what your reddit extract is supposed to show... basically it
says "you should be safe, as long as you're with somebody else".

That's exactly what I was hoping to show - to the OP. I'm sure they're
still reading the thread.

Did the science fiction museum close? I thought it had. That was fun,
seeing some of the Star Trek TOS props in real life were interesting.
