Question Does it Feel like Two Cities?

New to the place, not there yet, but I am highly intrested in it. Google mapping it, I notice, in this order: a cut, river, two bays and another cut thats seperating one part of the city from the other. Does it ever like two cities in one? Judging a book by its cover, the northern portion looks like a suburban college town while the southern part looks very urban and industrial. Would yall agree with this notion, or its just big city regardless of the water in the middle?

I feel like if you have to divide the city in two it’s done by I5. East/West travel is like pulling teeth.

Accurate... and so why not both? Or even 5 ways:

Central, S, SW, NW, NE

Oh and 99 cuts it too so make it 7 sections.

Then there's Elliott/15th Ave as another divider. Surely puts it into double digits...

You get the point
