I think I owe it to the people of Seattle, and myself, to retire as a Mariner.

...You have to pass an exam, and the jobs that you get are either to shine shoes, or to herd cows, or to tend pigs. Thank God, I don't want any of that! Damn it! And besides that they smack you for a reward; they call you an animal and it's not true, a little kid, etc.. Oh! Damn Damn Damn Damn Damn!

Arthur Rimbaud

I think what's beautiful when you're looking at artists like Macklemore and you're looking at artists like Ayron Jones, they're proud of Seattle and they're bringing it back. Seattle's a real music town. When you act ashamed of that, you should be pushed outta the game as far as I'm concerned.

Sir Mix-a-Lot

By the end of the 1980s, Seattle had taken on the dangerous lustre of a promised city. The rumour had gone out that if you had failed in Detroit you might yet succeed in Seattle - and that if you'd succeeded in Seoul, you could succeed even better in Seattle... Seattle was the coming place. So I joined the line of hopefuls.

One of my favorite places is Seattle. Growing up, I never thought I'd be able to go to Seattle. I grew up in eastern South Carolina, so that's as far as you can get from Seattle, unless I lived in Miami.

In Vegas, you have an audience you can't find anywhere else. It's from all over the country. You play Seattle, everyone's from Seattle. But in Vegas, you have six from Seattle, a bunch from L.A., some local Las Vegans and maybe a farmer from Iowa. In Vegas, you learn the ins and outs of holding a room because of that great spectrum of folks.

Lewis Black

I'm damn proud to be a Knick.

Julius Randle

Of course Seattle loves soccer. You can see from the men's Seattle Sounders team.

Hope Solo

I am a dyke! And I'm damn proud of it!

Joan Rivers

Tacoma is actually my hometown, but if you live within 40 minutes of Seattle, you say Seattle.

Jo Koy

Unfortunately Seattle is my muse, for the better or worse of Seattle - I'm not sure.

Maria Semple

I just feel so damn proud for the entire family behind 'Minari.'

Lee Isaac Chung

We know that Seattle is mentioned frequently ... a computer was found in Afghanistan showing pictures of Seattle-area landmarks. So we are in constant contact with the FBI and with other federal authorities.

Greg Nickels

I've striven my whole life for humility, but if I'd ever achieved it, I'd probably be pretty damn proud of that.

Benjamin Franklin

As far as the music being inspired by Seattle, I think it's in some of the songs. Seattle is a really beautiful place in the right light, it's perched on a pretty unique geographic setting.
