Pick two: Create your dream life in Seattle

Life in Seattle is already great, but a few tweaks could really make it a paradise. What does your dream life look like in the Emerald City?

Close your eyes — let’s imagine a dream life in Seattle. Maybe you’re thinking of better weather, easier transit, or freebies from your favorite local spots. But it can’t be that easy, right? We make the (hypothetical) rules here, and you can only pick two.

We took to Instagram asking our followers to choose from these five dream scenarios:

  • No more I-5 traffic
  • Free Capitol Hill Block Party tickets for life
  • A house boat on Lake Union
  • Free Canlis dinners for life
  • A sound-proofed home during Seafair

Not surprisingly, the biggest winner was a traffic-free interstate (runner-up was the houseboat), but we want to hear from our readers, too. Cast your vote for the top two options you’d pick.
