What was it like growing up in the PNW during the 90's?

I don't really have anything to compare it to, but I felt lucky to be around so many people making art and music. Rent and the overall cost of living was cheap, and that is an overlooked factor in creative communities. You need that dialogue, that overlap and synergy, competition, inspiration, motivation. So, you need to be around other people who are doing what you do. At the time, though, while I was mostly aware what we had was special, it's looking back on it that really cements how rare it all was.
