Born and raised in Tacoma. I live on a private street for close to a decade. Whenever I see a new neighbor moving in, I always make it a point to introduce myself and welcome them to the neighborhood. No one enjoys being the new person and not knowing anyone. I like make myself be the person that makes that person feel like they are welcome in their new house. It’s a good neighborhood and neighbors came over to introduce themselves when I moved in. It instantly made me happy we had purchased in our neighborhood and it made me feel a connection right away, as well. Before phones became so prevalent, humans wouldn’t second guess going over to meet a new neighbor.
