Seattle hasn’t exactly always been known as the cheeriest place in the US. Between our lack of sun and all that rain, it’s no surprise that we feel a little down sometimes. But Seattle had a particularly rough November. In fact, Seattle was the saddest metro area in the nation last month.
Yep, Seattle is depressing and also depressed! About 1.5 million adults in the metro area reported having feelings of being depressed or hopeless last month. And we get it, after all our winters aren’t the greatest. Not to mention the pandemic has really thrown a wrench in things.

And if you’ve been feeling down just remember that many people across the nation feel the same way.
