I grew up in a town called Mercer Island, WA & I must say, it’s a wonderful town to grow up in. It’s a suburb of Seattle, so gorgeous. I’m now going to consider it sociologically, which won’t be shocking to any of my friends – ;). I must first reiterate the beauties of Mercer Island, though sociologically… it’s quite bland. Very white & quite wealthy.
So…homogenous in many ways. Lot’s to expect, not a ton of excitement. Just to give you an idea: there’s much more likely to be a soiree celebrating a high school student’s acceptance into Stanford than basically anything else. I expect a soiree celebrating a student’s release from jail basically never happens. I feel like you can count on that.
