Can confirm. I'm in central Washington, and while restaurants and bars are closed, people are _definitely_ not respecting social distancing guidelines. I've even had people tell me to move closer to other people when standing in line at grocery stores.

Seconding this. We're 30 miles north of Seattle and there are tons of people still out and about. Beautiful weather isn't helping.

Seattle area is much sparser than NYC or SF. I still go out for walks and stuff and don't really see very many people and I'm only 20 minutes north of downtown. Keeping a 20ft distance is very easy.

Maybe outdoors? Maybe fleeing cities, or going to be with family in other parts of the country since it's clear this is going to last for months?

There's nowhere to go, unless you got to a cabin for a year. Every state has double digits which is where WA was just a few weeks ago. I guess being with family might be nicer but also a larger cluster of people to infect in your household.
