OMG, you should move out here. Our sister city is Kobe Japan, Nintendo of America is in Redmond, We have 7 Anime Cons a year, and we have more visitors from Japan than anywhere else in the world. (The Anime Writers visited here during their trip to Vancouver for Destiny Deoxys and sometimes Game Freak delivers the new ROMs of games for american production personally). I even saw Shigeru Miyamoto from accross the street once at Pike Place Market on one of his business trips out here.
OH! And my hometown is farmland too. We have cow lots of cows.... and horses, but thats a differents story....
