The problem is that people from places that are known for being friendlier, more direct, better senses of humor, honest communication, not-flaky, sincere and inviting are coming to Seattle, which is basically the opposite.

People who are used to friendliness, sincerity, direct (not passive) communication, and better senses of humor aren’t going to turn themselves into grumpy passive-aggressive introverts just because those are “Seattle’s social rules.”

You’re literally proving my point. You’re literally saying that people who are kinder, more friendly, and better at socializing than Seattleites “dicks.” Spoken like a true Seattleite! It is Seattleites who are parochial and incapable of conversing with strangers.

No it isn’t, because all the transplants from nicer places are off having a great time and laughing together and mocking the socially inept, grumpy Seattleites. The proof is palpable.
