The route involving Seattle is actually Phoenix TO Seattle, which is somewhat surprising, and means 3/10 of the list puts people in/through Seattle.
That's a surprisingly large percentage / number.
Intuitively, It feels like too many people to either be:
- On their way somewhere else (home to BC, hopping the Pacific, from AK to lower 48)
- Coming for snow (either ending in WA, or legging to BC,ID,WY,MT)
- Coming home from holiday
- Subjecting themselves to January in Seattle [1]
… but maybe in aggregate the above add up to our 8–10 position.
Now that I've written the above out, and others have pointed out, I'm recognizing a pattern with Atlanta: we don't see bigger cities as starting points, just their aggregation point (Atlanta). Maybe reasonable to assume the same for Seattle.
