@layleebindsley: I said people in the PNW feel less friendly than what I’m used to and some of y’all responded by telling me to leave. Do with that information what you will. #PNW #WashingtonState #midwest #hottake

The problem is you said PNW as a whole… not just the small area you’ve been too.

You called out a entire state. That was your first mistake.

They proved you right by their response 😅 signed someone who has lived in WA for 3 years coming from Texas (and grew up in FL) and has traveled all over the US 🥰

Born and raised here. I hope people realize that most people who you are running into in this state are most likely transplants. Especially in the outdoors now days. Over the last decade to two decades Washington state has changed dramatically!!! So people need to be careful when the make comments about PNW people they may have come from California, East coast or even Midwest. I run into sooo many people out on trail who aren't even from here and they are not on vacation. Just food for thought

Saying everyone here, instead of everyone you’ve come across are two different things, context matters

As a transplant to the PNW.. you are correct. And it’s the entire region. I will stand on that til I die

I think people are allowed to have different experiences and opinions, but it’s hard not to take it personally when an entire region gets painted with a broad brush instead of sharing specific situations or interactions. There are a lot of genuinely kind, welcoming people here in the PNW who go out of their way to help others — especially in the smaller communities like where I’m from. Just like politics or anything else, it’s okay to disagree without getting so worked up over it. Different perspectives can exist without turning it into a fight. Unfortunately, your response is the pot calling the kettle black.

My gf is from the Midwest and I’ve lived in WA my entire life. I thought your video was completely accurate 😂😂 Visiting the Midwest opened my eyes to what we’re missing out on 😭

Ive lived in WA my entire life. Everything you said was spot on, especially the part about people in general. I wish I could move.

I’ve lived in WA my whole life, went to Tennessee when I was 35 and you’re right, way different. I’m a super friendly person and I felt right at home there.

Girl, I’ve lived in wa my entire life and I just watched your last video. You are not wrong. Over the last five years I’ve noticed how rude people have got here and don’t get me started on people driving here. I can’t wait to leave. I’m a nice girly if your lookin for any nice new friends here 🤍

I saw your last video and it is interesting to see the defensiveness. I think we're in the same county in WA. I am not from here and have lived in Minnesota and Washington. It took me years after leaving Minnesota to wrap my head around the idea that people there generally believed they were doing things they felt were nice, but those things were so different than what I was used to (as an Alaskan) that it felt cold. I don't know if that speaks to your experience of moving here. As someone who has thought a lot about this I do think I understand where you are coming from.

Oh girl it’s called the Seattle freeze for a reason. I’m from eastern Washington and I’m not saying people are soooo much nicer here but compared to when I lived in Seattle… eastern Washington is much friendlier haha

And this what I’ve learned about having opinions and making social media videos. I think the problem was that you labeled people as a whole and it put you against everyone else. And if people are from here watching your video they may feel attacked.

But if you are expressing your opinion, why can others not also express their opinion when it differs from yours? 🤔

I’m from here, and you are 💯 correct! Anytime I go to Texas, I am just amazed how kind people are! In portland, it’s complete opposite!

Girl is my experience too. You are so right they’re not kind here. People are not kind in general.
