When I first began planning my move to Seattle from California I asked everyone I talked to from the area, “What is the one thing I have to know before moving to Seattle?” and nine times out of ten the answer was, “the Seattle Freeze.” They weren’t talking about the weather – although damn it’s cold – or the cornerstore’s newest icy flavor. They were talking about how Seattle folks take some extra warming up before they’ll show you their nice side.
