    Dave Matthews was born in South Africa, grew up between there and East Coast USA and only moved to Washington as an adult because he liked it there.

    DMB started in Charlottesville, Virginia, so sadly, he can’t be claimed as a “Washington musician.” He came here after the fact.

    Eddie Vedder is a better fit, as someone whose band originated in Washington, despite Vedder not being from Washington himself, and only ending up in Washington really to join up with Pearl Jam.

          The vast majority of musicians from Washington moved to big cities outside of Washington state. Dave Grohl of Nirvana is in Los Angeles, Kathleen Hanna of Bikini Kill moved to NYC and then to California. King Buzzo from the Melvins is still a local, but then he never made mainstream notoriety like Grohl or Hanna.

          This is what I’m referring to, we get Grohl & Hanna back. I mean, if we’re keeping track.

          On a serious note, we have lost a lot of our artists, but there were decades where most successful or famous artists of all types had lived here at some point in their lives. It was like an incubator. I don’t see that happening as much.

          The weird thing, so have a lot of major corporations: Amazon, Boeing, Costco, Microsoft, UPS, etc.
