There many arbitrary and silly standards people often consider before they say they are from Seattle, a city of transplants. But one sure way, in my opinion, is…

…if you’ve been here long enough to remember when the month of June was consistently cloudy and cool, congratulations, you have lived through one of the most pronounced changes to our city and region, and yes, you can call yourself from Seattle.

A very warm transplant Seattlelite.
