Non-locals don't know the suburb name, so when talking to non-locals I use Seattle. When talking to locals, I use the suburb name.

> that's so rare it's hardly a data point.

I never expected a 10 day power failure in the middle of a metropolitan city.

Much simpler and accurate to say "a suburb of Seattle." So your original statement was misleading in several ways.

E.g. Seattle City Light has a better reputation for uptime than Puget Sound Energy.
