It must be the relatively decent weather -- sure the lack of sunlight is a major bummer but it never gets as cold, or warm, as the East coast -- that encourages the residents of Seattle or Western Washington in general to experiment around with various modes of transport.
Case in point, there's always a few of those tiny amateur hobbyist planes flying in the skies. There's cool mountains to be explored and flown too, I discovered many local small private airports that are quite affordable, and since things are generally speaking much affordable in this part of the country some extra cash to spare for the hobbies. So that probably explains at least some part of why there are so many folks flying around as hobbyists. As somebody from Boston who rarely gets to see those cute little plans -- the only times I've seen them are in tv or on youtube -- it's great fun to follow them and come up with the stories of where they're going and what they're up to.
To conclude, people probably enjoy flying around interesting terrain worth exploring than boring flat wastelands.
