Early in the pandemic, I was That Guy. I was the only person wearing a mask in O'Hare in mid-February, when I was flying to my new home.
I was That Guy in the grocery store, and CostCo, and at the bank. For almost a month.
Oh I got looks. Lots of sidelong glances. Back then I think people subconsciously (or maybe consciously sometimes) figured the mask meant I was diseased. People would physically move away from me. Good! They were standing too close.
Just, show some spine. Be That Guy. You're vaccinated, act like it.

Downtown Seattle area is the same as OP described, although just barely starting to see more people go without masks outside. My wife even said so herself: she’ll stop wearing a mask “when most other people do”. A lot of people are probably thinking the same thing.
