I can't speak for Seattle, but I'm tired of the media coverage about Portland. There's like 4 square blocks downtown that have been vandalized (and most stop signs, but those are just funny), but the only people that have made anything dangerous are police. If you go to a protest, you have people handing out snacks and water, people (during the day) bring their kids, it's not some hellscape. The media just portrays it as "PORTLAND IS BURNING!" It's not. I live and work here every day.
