Seattle: Fact and Fiction
What's reality and what's hollywood smoke-and-mirrors? Here's a handy chart we can all add to so we can bunk and de-bunk life in Seattle in Grey's Anatomy vs. real Seattle.
There's also a great sarcastic piece I found with more fact vs. fiction on the Metroblogging Seattle blog.
| | According to Grey's Anatomy... | In Real Life... |
Seattle Grace Hospital is... | A hospital. | An airport. Many of the dramatic external building shots of Seattle Grace Hospital are actually the Sea-Tac airport! Sea-Tac stands for Seattle Tacoma, and the airport is named Sea-Tac because it's half way between Seattle and Tacoma. It seems that lots of outside shots were taken before the airport completed construction on its dramatic new terminal in 2005/2006. |
Washington State Ferries | McDreamy's romantic commute of choice, with wind streaming through his gorgeous carefree locks. | Riding the ferry is not carefree, especially the inevitable lineups, sniffing guard dogs, seriously reduced/nonexistent food service, and wi-fi that costs $30 a month. |
 | Back of glass elevator shows "Pike Place Market" in the background. | Most Seattle Hospitals are located on what is known as "Pill Hill." Pike Place is downtown and there's no room for a hospital there. About a block away are three or four "adult" bookstores, video arcades and what not. |
| Seattle rain always comes in a thunderstorm. | We seldom, if ever, have thunderstorms |

Does anyone know what the location of this scene is
(On top of a roof) Derek: You know, when you said you found a lunch spot with a view I knew I should have taken you literally. Addison: I found it in the Best of Seattle guide. It's hardly brown bagging on top of the Empire State Building, but they do have these cute little view finders. Derek: You always find something to complain about. Addison: Okay, is there anything that you like about me anymore? Because if there is I really need to know. Derek: Well, I like that you like cute little view finders in every city that you live in. Addison: I don't live here yet. (pause) You gonna stop talking to Meredith? Derek: I will. Addison: When? Today? Tomorrow? Next week? Derek: Maybe I'm not ready yet. Addison: Are you ever gonna be ready, Derek? Derek: What if I say "no"? Addison: Then I'm not moving here. Derek: Well, I guess we're at an impass then. Addy and Derek are on a roof with viewfinders overlooking the water. Any help would be appreciated. My girlfriend is a huge fan and I would like to take her there. Thanks |
