I was warned when I moved here to Seattle that the people here were quite different from the Midwest. I haven't seen much of that, but then again, I pretty much stick to my apartment, my office, the gym, and Costco. Most everyone I've met has seemed pretty much like folks I knew in KC. So I decided to look up the Seattle newspaper online to see if I could find some examples of what they were talking about.
Well, this was the lead story. (give it a read, but just a quick one)
My favorite part was about the bicyclists who were "strutting their stuff" to "draw dependence to oil dependency." I'm sure that if anyone came across one of these chilly riders the first thing to cross their mind would absolutely be our frightening dependence on foreign oil.
Also, the line about "per se not illegal" was a bit (a lot) surprising.
So yeah, I guess some things are different here.

Adam and I came across a video (yikes!) of that story a few days ago and thought of you... looks like you picked a nice family place to take your kids to the park! :)
