Hi native,
I was shopping for a new house in the Seattle area and randomly some people started talking to me (from the Southwest). This never happened to me before. I was kind of weirded out. I said, "so you guys MUST NOT BE FROM HERE." They are like, "no way. We are from the Mid West!"
We invited each other to back yard barbecues within a month.
Never happened with a native here.
- seanmcdirmid 9y agoHave you ever been to West Seattle? It's mostly natives and you get a much more open neighborly vibe. However, it isn't very techie and much more blue collar/other professional.
- banned1 9y agoThanks for the recommendation. Maybe what makes it more neighborly is the blue collar or non tech people in the mix. Maybe it’s us the techies who are the weirdos. But techies who are natives are “REALLY weird.” I guess they just like to keep to themselves and be anti-social? Fellow techies who are natives: what’s up with that?
- seanmcdirmid 9y agoDepends on what you mean by native? Most of us are transplants, even those of us who went to high school and university in the area. All the natives I know aren't in tech.
