Touchdown

After dragging my butt out of bed at 4 am and six hours of air travel I am finally back in Seattle. Everything is still where I left it and the view of Mt. Rainer from the airplane is spectacular. I sent several emails to random gay people in the LGBT Northwest Washington area hoping to get a feel for its gay society or lack of society, especially in the rural areas of Washington State. I have never visited with any gay people up here and have no clue what the community offers its residents.

Unfortunately I have only received one response from a man in Everett Washington a small town north of Seattle. He responded “if you want to meet a guy then go to a bar! (i am trying to be polite)”. So much for some post about the LGBT community here! If this kind of rudeness is the standard of the greater LGBT Seattle community I think I will stick to enjoying the restaurants, natural beauty of the area and visiting family. How sad indeed.
