- It’s true. I love Seattle. However
Before I get into what it is about Seattle that I don’t like (have live in Seattle since 1980), I first talk about why anout why so many TH-camrs are quitting.

Actually, Sodo stands for "South of Dome", which refers to the old King Dome.
Yes, you are right I always get this two mixed up lol.
It used to be “south of dome,” but after the Kingdome was imploded, most people now just refer to it as “south of downtown.”
@@jenniferbabuca Yep. I checked Wikipedia after uploading the video and that’s exactly what it says.
everyone calls it south of downtown cause of south park.. never forget.. SODO SOPA
@@senoreng2014 This is photastic lol
Shoutout all the youtubers that setup their shot by setting up the camera, film themselves walking in/out the shot and then ultimately having to go back to retrieve the camera. That in itself is exhausting to think about so big up all the creatives that do those types of shots. Maybe that’s what’s burning everyone out lol. Exercise is good I guess lol
Another great video! I love your walking tours!
I really do love you Seattle, but dang it...

Thanks again for another vicarious experience!
Been living in the city of seattle for years Love all your videos !!❤❤
New subscribers here 😊 thanks for showing around. Ill be in Seattle this weekend
It doesn't matter how many grey days there are as long as you have sunshine in your heart. Noticed the 2.24.2024 at the beginning and forgot tomorrow I'll be 50! That's like so hard to believe Mr Dennis! So ready to see a Mariners game played. Ready to watch many more walking videos with Mr Dennis. Cherry blossoms will soon be in full affect,Yes!!!!
Just turned that same age just a few months ago. Happy birthday tomorrow 🎊 🎉❤❤
That gyro place at the beginning closed 😢 sucks, been there forever
It was a great little teriyaki shop before that. I miss that place.
Personally i like the gray! Idk why, always have. I like the rain and the mud. Went to Lubar New Year yesterday. I appreciate not being all hot and sweaty, and not haing to put on sunscreen
Hi! Really enjoy your walking tours! Do you have any idea why Waterfall Garden Park is closed? It's "temporarily closed" (according to the website) for some reason, but there's no explanation why. I'm bummed.
I’ll have to look into this.
Took a break ..love ur honest takes man …love Seattle but hate the way the government there has ruined small businesses and rampant homelessness …But again that’s from an outsider who liked to go to restaurants like Dalia etc and who lives in Miami
Seattle twenty years ago was so nice. It seems that it is a haven for the homeless and crime.
Love this channel, I don't mind the Seattle gloom, I actually miss the rain, I'm in New Mexico now and rain is a luxury. We are now having our dust bowl 2024, as when Spring comes in, it gets super windy here. Enjoy those Seattle days for me.
Seattle loves you and we love you Lao 🙂💛☀️
This is my daily commute location, from the sounder to downtown ❤
Hi Lao if I bought a townhouse at 1521Second Ave and want to be a Mariner season ticket holder is the walk safe at night?
Yes you should be fine. Would have been safer to use me as an agent though. 😉
I was born and raised in Ballard up to 1982 where my parents and I moved to Montana to be close to family. Then we moved back to Renton in 1984 and then 2017 moved to Spokane. I would ride the bus into downtown Seattle and the walk up to Pacific Science Center from Westlake Center. I use to work for Seahawk Stadium aka QwestField aka Centurylink Field; which is now Lumien Field. We moved to Spokane for the sunshine but it has the same gray days as Seattle. Thanks for sharing your walking tours.
Westlake center is a ghost town now
Hello from new york.
on my travels to seattle i have walked this area last time i was there on my way to the link station international district station and then on to capital hill and on the return trip getting back to the water taxi. and the gray days are why i come in the summer in an attempt to escape the gray days of bay area summer gloom. but yes i am a wimp it get too cold up in seattle for this bayarea man but what can you say home is home right
I'm from Oakland too! Been up here 8 years now going on 9. The only thing I slightly miss about the Bay is the cooler summers. It gets SO warm up here without that relief of the fog rolling over the GGB!
I've walked around that area many times with a cup of coffee. Great simulation.
You know Denny you could go up to sequim. Yea it’s not 70 degrees year round but it supposedly gets as much sunshine as LA. Might be something to look at for like a weekend visit if y’all are feeling grey…
Lately you went to places with strong Laos communities and festivals, what cities would you recommend?
Saginaw Texas mid April is largest Lao New Year celebration. Amazing party. See you there! 😎
Hey hey, I lived there for 17 years once upon a time. Is the water garden still there? How is the Freeway Park? Is Murray still the best bartender in town? Love to watch you wander the haunts of my past.
Everything you mentioned is till there. Not sure about Murray though.
@@LaoOceanMurray was at the Zig Zag and El Bistro in my time. Is Sea Garden still there? Wild Ginger? I so miss Hong Kong style noodles from House of Hong. Such great food and fun! I miss good pho.
You forgot a utibe job you do philosopher... Thank you for the awesome channel Mr. Ocean. Utube would not be the same without your awesome content.
I've been here 6 years now and I have to say, the last magical year for me was the summer of 2019. I remember moving to Capitol Hill in the spring of 2019 and felt like I had hit the jackpot! Looking out on the city from the Hill left me feeling so blessed to live here. But there has been a decline since the pandemic. So many businesses closed and just people I use to see around town have all moved out. Cost of living is also a major factor, don't get me wrong, it was expensive years ago, but the value for money and the taxes just make it not seem worth it anymore, on top of all this 'go slow' construction. The weather is also starting to get to me too, but warmer climate places are super expensive. I went to New York last summer and that magic I felt in Seattle, I felt it there, it was just a vacation though. If I ever won the lottery, its definitely goodbye. I would probably just visit Seattle in the summer. Likely places I would relocate: Austin, Texas, New York, DC, or Florida.
The sandwich place was salumi, the Batali family’s restaurant. It’s now around the corner on Occidental between Jackson and Lumen field.
Can retitle the video as, “I love Seattle Butts and I cannot lie” and do a walking tour with Sir Mix-A-Lot 🤣 thanks for sharing!
Was totally thinking this as I write the title lol
I thought that "Sodo" referred to "South of downtown," no?
It’s both. Was South of Dome prior to the demolition of the King Dome and became the later afterwards.
It's too small to call it Japan town, more like Japan blocks or area...It barely qualify as Chinatown.
You should show them Aurora Avenue 😂
I have made a video of that lol
Aurora Ave between 100th over by amc movies and 145 th has way lower amounts of hookers now walking the streets
Seattle is too expensive
No disrespect but you're telling me of all the issues Seattle has, the homeless, drug addiction, progressive judges, etc. the thing making you consider moving is the weather? That's ridiculous
Welp, I'm done with your channel. A lot of your vids have clickbaity titles and you dont get to the point. You go on too many side tangents on things completely unrelated to the topic. I might come back if you change that, as I like learning about Seattle. Hope you have success on the platform tho.
✌️
I feel the same. Unsubscribing.
These videos are all wonderful. Haters will always be haters. Keep doing the videos ! We all love them !!❤❤
Criticism is not hatred. Time is precious and this video had rambling dialogue.
There was no clickbait? He literally said he loves Seattle, except the gray days. This isn't a soap opera or drama channel, he can post about whatever topic he wants and talk about whatever he wants. Some videos you might love, some not so much. Just don't finish watching the video? You don't have to "unsubscribe" for not liking one video. He's putting out content frequently, not even video is going to hit your sweet spot. Let the man try different topics and video ideas. I personally enjoy them all, and they are great for passing time while on the treadmill.
