S-M-R-T
17Nov2003 Filed under: EavesdropperMe: So, I need to give you my new address, so you can mail our deposit back.
Property Manager: Ok, shoot.
Me: Bla bla bla Avenue East, Apartment 3, Seattle 98112.
Property Manager: Ok, let me repeat that back. Bla bla bla Avenue East, Apartment 3, Seattle, California, 98112.
Me: Um, no: Seattle, Washington.
Property Manager: Oh. Is that WA?
Me: Yes.
Did the dude REALLY think there was a Seattle, CA, or was he just not listening at all?

Hey there. I'm Ariel Meadow Stallings, a native Seattleite who's written my way up and down the Left Coast. Electrolicious is where I post daily randomata, but I also write for a living. My first book, Offbeat Bride, was published last year.

maybe it’s just hard to imagine that there’s anywhere outside of california that folks would migrate?

I think he was listening, (he did get the first part right), but not entirely present.

It’s apparently a pretty common mistake… if you do a quick google on seattle, ca, you’ll get a number of hits. and there IS a seattle creek, ca.
