I notice in the Vancouver reviews the prices are similar to Seattle - but if thats Canadian dollars the exchange rate makes it some cheap fun, eh?  Just thought I'd ask before looking like an idjit in some young ladies bedroom across the border.  Thanks ya'll ... D-b.

Db,

In most cases if a review is posted by a Canadian reviewer it would be safe to assume that Canadian currency was involved, unless the figure is specifically stated in USDs.  In my opinion those boys from Canada really know how to review escorts -- they tell it like it is and seldom hold back.  If you're a voyeur type reading the Canadians' reviews alone is worth the price of admission.

Not too long ago Seattle's economy was strong and BC'S pretty weak, but recently things have changed.  However, I do believe that things are still better closer to home, financially.  I've noticed lately that our local boys are heading North to party, and our lady friends from the North are (literally) going South to work.

But our Canadian friends are quite astute.  Even if they were to simply pass on their Canadian rates to us in USDs, their bottom line would yield at least a third more after money is exchanged.  Some have told me that they hang on to their USDs until the exchange rate is highest.  Most of the ladies are well aware of our rates in Seattle and charge accordingly, in USDs; the smart ones know how to keep things competitive.

It's been said that we here in Seattle are fortunate to enjoy the BEST escort rates in the US -- period.  One theory is that rates are low because there's "new money" in our area and our economy is highly volatile.  Another theory is that rates are reasonable here due to our close proximity to the Canadian border, where laws are much more liberal and fees significantly lower.  Personally, I believe that both are accurate.

With that said I welcome your thoughts on this matter ....

I agree!  Since I started playing in this hobby, I have done extensive research on locals I frequent.  They being LA, San Francisco, and Orlando.  In all those areas the industry is riddled with rip offs, ho hum reviews, and/or significantly higher rates.  I am coming to the realization that I should not even bother when away from home.  After all, I am seldom gone for more then a couple of weeks, and what I see there just doesnt stand up to who I have seen here and still want to see in the Seattle.  Of course the exception to this is lovely BC.  Just my 0.02  and Thank you Seattle .... I am not just here for the skiing anymore (but thats what my friends think).

My rates in the US are comparable to those that other ladies with similiar attributes, qualities or reviews might charge. Maybe even slightly less than I could charge. However I have been asked why I don't charge the equivalent of my Canadian rates. There are two reasons, there is absolutely no reason why I should be paid less while in your country than other ladies, just as they would not likely get more than the going rate in Canada. However, all of my expenses while visiting the US are paid for in American currency, while an American lady visiting Canada will find her expenses proportionately lower. For example, while on a recent visit to Seattle I changed a thousand Canadian dollars into US currency and received slightly more than six hundred dollars. Besides, I am worth every American dollar I receive, lol!!!DANA
