Things here are far too peaceful.

Vancouver, BC or Vancouver, WA?  

I find Vancouver, BC to be more quiet whereas Seattle has more characteristics of a "big city".

Deal with it.

Vancouver because it's in Canada, it's beautiful, and it has the New Amsterdam Cafe .Seattle is nice and all, but it is so spread out and parts of it are so isolated from one another. It's a beautiful area, but not the best place to put a major city.

[Myself]

Seattle is better, as far as Canada goes, you need to be there to see what's going on, certain "subtleties" will become redily apparent after the initial enthusiasm wears off.

downtown van is safer and there is more to see and do in walking distance.

Cheers to that, Seattle is no fun without a car.

My guess is, that people from Seattle that slam Vancouver, have probably only LIVED in Seattle.....the same as the people who live in Van and slam Seattle, have probably never lived THERE.

So lets narrow it down......Only those who have lived in both, have the right to pass judgement.

I'll live in both just ask the question again in about 15 years.

[Myself]

I lived in both, Vancouver 15 years, Seattle 2 now Bellingham for 6 years.  Stay in the USA, my advice!

Seattle is too hilly though the ppl are terrific. My vote goes to Vancouver, of course.

I've probably flown over Vancouver at least 100 times...does that count?

[P.C.]

LOL TehBorken.....yes, I believe it does.

That proves it!!  You can see the difference right away.[img onmouseover="this.style.backgroundColor='#C6D3EF';this.style.border='1px solid #3169C6'; " style="BORDER-RIGHT: #3169c6 1px solid; BORDER-TOP: #3169c6 1px solid; BORDER-LEFT: #3169c6 1px solid; CURSOR: pointer; BORDER-BOTTOM: #3169c6 1px solid; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #c6d3ef" onclick="InsertImage('/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/3.gif');" onmouseout="this.style.backgroundColor=''; this.style.border=''" src="vny!://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/3.gif" align=absMiddle]  See how much prettier the blue is in Vancouver.  And our clouds look a lot thicker.  The choice is clear!

[P.C.]

Yes, kitten, this is true.  And you can see clearly how much bigger Vancouver is. Without a doubt, the proof is in the pictures. This is good solid research.  I mean you have to have facts to back up a debate of this nature.  [img style="CURSOR: pointer" onclick=url(this.src); src="vny!://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/more/bigs/e058.gif" border=0]
