How is that so "Seattle"?

Do you even know that protesters and the diners are the same people?

Or did you mean that Seattle is a city with a politically diverse population?

It's a thing that happens all the time in Seattle. That is, publicly decry one group for doing something, but have zero problem with another group doing nearly (or exactly) the same thing.

and as a member of nwdiveclub (the local dive forum) I can say that they have zero problem discussing and participating in harvesting of ocean life.

This is a description of everywhere. The only thing Seattle has a monopoly on, is talking shit about Seattle (sorry Portland, we're stealing that one too).

Well, true enough I guess. But living in Seattle it just (to me) seems absolutely more apparent/in your face than anywhere else I've lived.

Seattle is a very religious city, I think he means. I grew up in the South and lived in Seattle for more than a decade and I'd describe Seattle as equally fundamentalist as the South at this point; the only difference being the religion is environmentalism.

OK, do those religious people eat octopus?

Yeah, and Baptist Fundamentalists sin like there's no tomorrow.
