The person – from Grays Harbor county, about 78 miles (125km) south-west of Seattle ...
It's incredible. I feel like you rarely see this construct from other states. I don't see it as strongly adhered to from where I live now. But with Washington state, the writer always makes a mention to recenter the action in relation to Seattle, even when other large cities in the state are closer.
For reference: Both Olympia (The state capital) and Tacoma are closer. -

@piku@blahaj.zone What's funny is I am often forced to do it myself when I talk about things back there, even when it geographically makes no sense. Like Spokane; which is like on the opposite side of the state.
"Oh yeah, Spokane. Uh, for your reference, that's like ~280 miles east as the crow flies of Seattle" Say I, trying to be understood and paradoxically not sound like a fucking crazy person.
