Has lived in the same Seattle neighbourhood for decades.
He feels that the presence of Amazon “changed the city”, he says. “All the folks who work on those fishing boats are still in the neighbourhood, but they’ve got no place to live. They’re all living on the street.” “We’ve got a lot of motor homes around the neighbourhood now.”

Neiwert grew up in an area with heavy Mormon religious and John Birch Society social influences. He says, "That’s probably part of why I’m immune to conspiracism because I got exposed to it at a pretty early age and I think by the time I was 12, 13, 14, I’d figured out that it was 90% bullshit.” ✓
His family was Methodist ✓
He says he grew up rural-conservative
Grew up in south-east Idaho
family is German-American ✓
