A new book titled "The Absolutely Worst Places to Live in America" ranks Seattle and Aberdeen among the 50 most awful places to live in the country.
New York advertising man Dave Gilmartin authored the book subtitled "From the Truly Miserable to the Just Plain Awful." The book lists his 50 picks in alphabetical order.
Aberdeen in Grays Harbor County is one of two Washington cities mentioned in the book. Gilmartin's book says the cultural highlights of Aberdeen include: sulking, moping, rain, and abandoned storefronts.
Aberdeen is a logging town with its share of problems dating back to the spotted owl. Everyone agrees there are economic problems, but resident Virginia Holm says the city has some good qualities, too. "It's a good city, it's a good place to raise kids," she said. "You've got to go out of town to buy anything major or big. But the town itself doesn't suck."
Laaksonen didn't realize at the time that Seattle was the second Washington city to be listed as among the absolute worst. The book called Seattle overrated, overcast and overcaffeinated.

THIS is bullshit. You want worse places to live? He is talking about people and locales that people have a choice on. How about the southside in Chicago. Watts. E. St. Louis. South Boston. Harlem. K ave in DC. Detroit. Gary, In. What the fuck? That guy has no frame of reference.
I grew up on the south side of Chicago. I think its a great place to live and grow up. I wouldnt trade it for anything.
