This is not an exactly true statement. My mom lives in Graham, which is just south of Puyallup and kind of is the boonies, but you can't say nobody goes to Puyallup. I can hardly believe it myself sometimes, but Puyallup is the same as anywhere else around here these days. When I drive through there to get to Graham, the traffic is ridiculous up and down Meridian. Seriously, it's pretty crowded. The biggest problem to me, besides all the people there now, is that it's a crazy commute to the decent paying jobs in Seattle and Bellevue (or Kirkland, where you will be?).

Puyallup really isn't any different than Kent, Renton or Federal Way at this point, just farther south (too far).

You're right, and I stand (well, sit) corrected. My attempt to avoid thinking about the southern end of the county has resulted in appropriate ignorance...

Great description, Wannabe! That's helpful when getting a feel for those locations.
