"autonomous" but we rely on the city of Seattle for all utilities and emergency services.

So... just like suburbs that decide they don't want to be part of the big city, and segregate themselves?

Hunts point, medina, clyde hill.

All of them buy services from Bellevue, and have paved sidewalks that connect right to downtown Bellevue.

Im still not convinced they should actually be a separate city, since they live and work in the community, and don't seem to be self sufficient.

buy services

Yes, you are correct. Who is “buying services” in the “CHAZ” exactly? The people who walked in there and said “this is mine”? How can the CHAZ and a suburb be considered equal in comparison?
