As one of the Californians moving to the PNW, I've noticed the people who most hate those darn Californians moved from California about 10-15 years ago. I've been here about 18 months, and only run into one guy who has deep roots here and was super grumpy about Californians. I'm sure it varies though depending on exactly where you are.
Thanks for that perspective, that makes a lot of sense.
Their fault for telling us where they went though. I'm gonna start telling people I moved to Texas and it's great. It's believable, and maybe people will move there and leave me be ;)
9 generations and counting, but people who hate "newcomers" are just uptight anyway. The attitudes of the pacific northwest are something most people can adopt in about six months, and most of the people who move here are looking for a change of pace anyway.
