There is more of a dampening effect because each neighborhood likes to stay localized than any difficulty traveling, eg people in Ballard like to shop at Ballard stores, go to the Ballard FLGS, and play with other people from Ballard. However, I think the largest amount of blame goes to having too much other stuff to do. While looking for players for various games, I've had dozens of people tell me they're interested, and even about a dozen that have shown up for games. However, I've only had three or four actually show up regularly for games from week to week. Everybody else always ends up with plans to go to concerts, camping, hiking in the mountains, boating on the ocean, snowboarding, parties, etc which they give a higher priority than gaming.There are dozens of game companies including large ones like WotC and Privateer Press, a FLGS in every neighborhood, several smaller cons, but simply not that many full time gamers.</blockquote>
