Behold the rare lifelong Seattleite (click on)

When I do come across others who spent their formative years in the area, we tend to swap big knowing smiles like long-lost childhood pals. "You went to Camp Orkila too?" We nod and take turns trading local references from our childhood and teen years.

"Aaron Brown on the local news." "Food Giant."
