Lol when we were in Italy, Italians would ask where we were from. We would say Spokane Washington. They would look at us confused. So then we would say “a few hours from Seattle” and they would go “oh, where greys anatomy is!!” I was like yep?? This happened multiple times in various cities in Italy and I thought it was really strange that that was what Seattle was known for not Amazon, Microsoft, etc, but grey’s anatomy. Lol it must be a popular show over there I guess.

When I lived in Spain, I used to have to explain that I was from Oregon - above California, below Seattle, in a place a lot like Galicia hahaha Now I can just tell people Washington, I guess, since I had to move for work

In my college on the east coast not a single person knew where Microsoft is located, let alone what Redmond is
