> [@solost](#): > > Ummm…it rains a lot. That’s all I got. No idea if the location stuff or B-roll is Tacoma-specific or not. I grew up in Lakewood, before it was Lakewood. A year or two after I moved east, there was a Nike commercial with Ken Griffey Jr. It was filmed in Seattle. It must have been made by someone who knew Seattle, because it showed landmarks that the locals would know, like Dick’s and the Waiting for the Interurban statue in Fremont. I would be more likely to watch _Tacoma FD_ if they put in some Easter eggs for locals, even ex-pats like me. I don’t know what they’d be, though; maybe they give the Heimlich to some guy choking at McDonald’s and he spews McNugget on the Chihuly. ---

> [@solost](#): > > Season one had several scenes at the stationhouse where, as you say, there’s an outside shot of the building with added rain, and then indoor shots with sound effects of rain falling and thunder in the background. Sometimes they commented on it, saying “slow day-- not many fires when it’s raining”; sometimes it was just background noise and they didn’t even comment on it. So they did pay at least the barest lip service to the notion of “Washington State: Often Rainy”. Not a lot of thunderstorms, though. ---

Too bad. The show was starting to get back on it’s feet. They started strong but the stories weakened through the first 2 seasons. Then it found it’s own course and by the end of season 4 despite cast changes it was coming into it’s own. I don’t know how much exposure it got on TruTV. I see it’s available on Netflix now, but too late to build on that I guess. ---

Maybe the extra exposure on Netflix will cause Netflix to pick up the show for more episodes…? Maybe wishful thinking, but I heard Breaking Bad’s popularity exploded when it started appearing on Netflix, not that it was suffering before. ---

I liked the show but I really thought the firefighters were too swaft. ---
