Culture Differences: Eastern vs Western US

<p>We are from the greater Seattle area and are constantly amazed at how people from Chicago and east think of Seattle as out in the wilderness.</p>

<p>Well we do have bears, cougars & coyotes.
[But not leopards thank goodness](<a href=“http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/asia/india/9001962/Leopard-captured-after-deadly-attack-in-India.html”>http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/asia/india/9001962/Leopard-captured-after-deadly-attack-in-India.html&lt;/a&gt;)
Some of us also dress like we just finished with a hike.</p>

<p>I find myself in the PCC deli at during the lunch time from Adobe/Google and they are dressed so casually I can’t tell who is a street vendor or the managing director of Ubermind.</p>

<p>Besides ( when it isn’t raining) it is so beautiful in the Seattle area that who * doesn’t * want to be outside? :)</p>
