>Visit in summer
Absolutely. This is what makes it worth living here at all. I still think I'd rather be elsewhere for most of the summer, but it's genuinely a natural paradise.
>Better than any city in the middle of the country
Absolutely not. I'm not sure what you consider "middle" but I can list dozens which I'd rather visit. Chicago is "middle", Saint Louis, Santa Fe, Dallas, Deadwood (or any number of smaller towns which literally have more to do). If by "middle" you mean Nebraska, Kansas, Arkansas, Iowa, Oklahoma, and part of Missouri, then yeah sure. You're literally comparing Seattle to the most boring part of the world.
>Drive an hour and have great hiking
Yeah absolutely. That's it though. This area is great for nature and nothing else. I can't stress this enough. The city is a cultural wasteland. It's only considered great because of its location. The bars are dead most of the time, no building is older than the late 19th century, no great museums (SAM sucks total ass), public transit is horrible, it's dirty, expensive (I paid $43 for a sandwich in Pike Place last time I went. Not excessive for here at all.), and worst of all people here are boring. Try making great friends out here. I'm social as hell, I'm the total opposite of introversion and it can be difficult for me to make friends at a country themed bar on a Friday. Meanwhile I drive to Portland and I can have a squad of 5 people by the end of the night.
>Portland
Dirty, smelly, homeless, and still expensive. On the other hand, great scene, people stay out till 3 AM, the nature is arguable better, and the cultural capital is waaaay higher. Better museums, better food, better music, etc. It's honestly given a bad rap because of how fucked the homelessness is but past that it's wonderful.
>Philly
Yeah fuck that place. My least favorite city in this country. The only good things that came out of there is the Philly Cheesesteak, and the first 3 Rocky movies. Literal warzone.
