It reminds me of someone who told me they were from San Francisco. In fact, they were from Richmond which is only loosely part of the San Francisco Bay Area.
I’d have preferred some mention like “this occurred approximately 75 miles east of Seattle” or whatever the correct distance is.
I think it’s a reasonable description to people who have only heard of Seattle.
