  • Downtown is home to more than 330,000 jobs and 88,000 residents. The heart of the region, the economic engine, is now quiet. While downtown Seattle is at a near-standstill, we're flattening the curve and doing what we can to battle COVID-19. The heart still beats strong and we'll be ready for the comeback.

    This makes me cry every time I watch it. I was born here. I lived my entire life here. I never, ever thought I would see my hometown like this. It's sad and so surreal. Like seeing the world after humans are gone.

    As sad as some might find this.. I find a beauty in silence. We are finally forced to slow down and spend quality time doing art, hanging out with our family or really getting the chance to reflect within ourselves and do the things we were always to busy to do around our homes. It also forces us not to take our family and friends for granted. This world wide event has a purpose for us to slow down and appreciate the things we take most for granted and to love with everything we have because tomorrow is never promised. Obviously this is a blanket statement and we have our health care, military, officers, fire fighters, first responders, pharmacy and food related businesses who are unable to slow down but they do have the opportunity to share with the rest of us why it's important to stay home as much as possible and how best to protect ourselves. THANK YOU for taking care of the rest of us.

    The city framed the mountains
    The mountains made my comfort.
    Now I am out, and it is cold.
    In my bed. My bed is silent.
    It listens for the city.

    I lived in Seattle during my 20's, leaving in 1985 (why did I do that??). I have visited regularly over the years but had felt saddened (and angry) because I have felt that Seattle had lost its soul over the years. This post brought tears to my eyes as I saw that Seattle's soul is still there.
    There is no place in the world I love more than Seattle. Thank you, Downtown Association.
