Why dating close to home runs out
Add up every incorporated city and town within 30 miles of Duvall and you get 50 places with about 2,377,000 people between them, not counting Duvall itself. Within 60 miles it's 93 places and about 3,297,000 people. Those totals count incorporated places only, so people outside city limits would add to them, but the point stands: dating apps that sort by distance start with that circle, which is why small-town members see the same faces so often.

Why Redmond is out of reach for you on the big apps
Dating in Duvall is hard, and meeting someone in Redmond can be harder. Many dating apps lean on distance to decide who you see, and Tinuiti's analysis of Tinder's algorithm says proximity is a key factor in who it shows you. Redmond is 8 miles away and has about 83,000 people, and a lot of the people there live closer to the person you'd like to meet than you do. When someone in Redmond opens a distance-ranked app, their own neighbors come first, so you land behind them in their deck whatever your photos and profile say.
Redmond has about 9 times as many people as Duvall, so a member from Duvall is outnumbered there roughly 9 to 1 before the ranking even starts. There are 9 other incorporated places closer to Redmond than Duvall is, with about 340,000 people between them, and they tend to come ahead of you in Redmond's deck.
On Amarbis, ranking isn't based on distance. Choose Washington as your region and Redmond is in your pool with everyone else in Washington, so you aren't placed behind the person's next-door neighbor because of where you live.
