When a Washington native says I've been more places than he has...
When a visiting friend remarks about how much history I know about just one local Redmond road...
When the author of your favorite history/travelogue books encourages you to write your own...

...I guess I should get on it, then.

It's curious, to me, just how little many folk explore their own localities. Back in San Diego, a friend remarked similarly - I'd always be aware of local news and happenings to a much greater degree, despite them having lived thereabouts for years.

Perhaps it helps to be something of a newcomer? If it's somewhere that invigorates you, it'll certainly inspire me to find out more, and keep up with local news and politics.
