Reply to comment by Voter_McVotey in Is Shelton really as bad as the internet says? by Fideli91

Ironically there's a pretty strong theory that Shelbyville from The Simpsons is Shelton.

Matt Groening based the Simpsons and Springfield on his life. He lived in Olympia and attended The Evergreen State College.

The failed Satsop nuclear power plant isn't too far down the road and Simpsons lumber in Shelton. Several side characters (I think including mole man) apparently were most likely based on Olympians.

So, yeah, if you want to move to Shelbyville. >.>
