who's the most famous person from your town

for mine it's probably Raymond Collishaw, the fighter pilot who probably shot down more planes than the baron but didn't say so cuz he wasn't a claimer.

Depends on who the person is:

Business Man - Bill Gates / Paul Allen / Bill Boeing /
Music Lover - Jimi Hendrix / Kurt Cobain / Eddie Vedder / David Grohl
Comedy Lover - Mitch Hedburg / Joel McHale
Sports Lover - Brandon Roy / Nate Robinson / Corey Dillon / Ken Griffey Jr (sorta)
Serial Killer Lover - Ted Bundy / Gary Ridgeway
Artist - Dale Chihuly
Actor - Rainn Wilson (Dwight K. Schrute)

But the one who probably takes the cake is Bill Nye the Science Guy.

Johan Santana is actually building a multi-million dollar house in my neighborhood, they are trying to keep it on the down low but that didnt work at all. I bet I'll never see him though.
