I think it's interesting that the vast majority of people we've met here aren't native to the area. It could be because we're living in a redeveloping neighborhood and going to a church in the middle of the city where more people are moving to, people who are more likely to be new to the area than people living in more stable areas. I don't think that explains all of it though. The first people we met here moved here from Indianapolis. We've hung out with a group of about 10 people from church and only 1 is a native Seattlite. Of Lesley's 4 close co-workers, only one was raised here, and just over half of the 30 people in her office are native to this area. The guy working at the nearby auto service place was also from Indiana. In fact, it seems like only the tour guides are strictly Seattle natives. It seems like there are a lot of people here that have moved here. Of course when I lived in Texas, I wasn't really paying attention to that, and I think that a lot of people in Frisco, for example, are not Texans. Still, it's kind of interesting that the vast majority of the people our age that we've met aren't from here.
