Everyone’s favorite “Seattle” “doctors” are just about ready to re-invade your Sunday evenings and force the return of the old recapping skills. In preparation for a brand new and even longer season of Grey’s Anatomy, the cast was in town over the weekend to film some scenes to give the show that faux-Seattle character we came to know, love, and find hilarious this spring.

Few series really bother to be true to their purported hometowns, and that’s especially true of shows set in Seattle . . . The difference with “Grey’s” is that Horton hails from Bellevue and saw an opportunity to show off the region he loves. This season we’ll see characters engaged in heavy conversation on a pier, strolling downtown and chatting on a balcony at Fisher Plaza, the stand-in for Seattle Grace. Mount Si, North Bend and Queen Anne, all places that Horton says feel specific to Seattle, will guest star at some point. [p-i]

It’s nice to know that there will be more chances to view our city in the strange mirror of television once again. Maybe we can even look forward to a very special episode where the interns make a jaunt to Bellevue!

The fawning profile of the cast’s visit ends with some words of wisdom from Patrick Dempsey: “There’s nothing that makes you feel like Seattle in Burbank.” Sounds like material for a Death Cab For Cutie song, doesn’t it?
