About 12 years ago, I watched the whole of Frasier, the DVD box set. Because it's hilarious! But now that I'm rewatching episodes after living in Seattle for 8 years, it really is way off about this city.

A real Seattle episode of Frazier would go something like this: Niles sneakily steals the Kale from Frazier's weekly CSA. Frazier was planning on making the perfect salad for his hiking picnic date in the Olympics. So Frazier has to go to the Farmer's Market to get some ...

Frazier can't find parking, but puts his car in a electric spot near the market for a few minutes, but gets a ticket! This makes him late for the ferry to Kitsap. His date, who is already Kitsap-side, offers to go to Seattle but in some confusion they end up passing each other.

2 Ferry Trips later, it's dark, and they finally rendezvous ... his date is allergic to Kale.

yes: in Seattle Frasier would spell it Frazier. It's hip to be anachronistic. He'd also wear Birkenstocks and canvas shorts, and an iPad with a pencil. It's where he lives, so he'd never miss an opportunity to say "Don't you mean Lower Queen Anne" whenever he hears "uptown".

Seattle is probably getting an NHL team in the not too distant future, so hopefully that brings more hockey fans to town.

I've prepaid for season tickets! Fingers cross. Hockey is the North American game that is most like Irish hurling, the only true sport, so it'll be nice to have something close.

Didn't they used to have a hockey team, or am I thinking of the sonics?

You’re thinking of the Sonics. The last hockey team, the Seattle Metropolitans was in Seattle ~100 years ago
