    save for enthusiasm, jaywalking

    Nope! Almost no jaywalking in the Seattle area. It was a culture shock to me. Everyone uses crosswalks, and cars will come to screeching halt on a major road if you’re standing anywhere near a crosswalk as they drive by. I guess it’s probably because you can’t see shit once winter rolls around, so it’s better to be safe than dead.

      That sounds nice. I was standing at a crosswalk for almost 15 minutes today walking home with my son in his stroller as cars were just flying by not taking a second glance. Last year 4 people died in seperate cases in that crosswalk. It’s nuts.
