I've been to Seattle a couple other times and never recall it being that bad [[I happen to love that region). It was sketch enough at 7 PM on a Friday for us to opt to leave before it got mildly dark and find a different spot to eat.
Yeah. What we think of here in Detroit when one talks about panhandling barely registers on my radar. Dude asks me for change. Sometimes I give, sometimes I don't. Then they leave me alone.

It's the San Fran style panhandling that really needs to stop. People get totally aggressive and then really pissed when you say no. That was a problem here awhile back, but I haven't seen it in some time.
