Why dating close to home runs out
Add up every incorporated city and town within 30 miles of Woodinville and you get 51 places with about 2,419,000 people between them, not counting Woodinville itself. Within 60 miles it's 96 places and about 3,379,000 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 Bothell is out of reach for you on the big apps
The city next to a small town is often the hardest place to date from it. Bothell (about 52,000 people, 3 miles from Woodinville) has plenty of singles, but a distance-ranked app lists them for each other first; Tinuiti's analysis of Tinder's algorithm says proximity is a key factor in who it shows you. A member in Woodinville ends up behind every closer profile in the deck of everyone in Bothell, so the matches that should be easiest to reach are the ones the app makes hardest.
Bothell has about 4 times as many people as Woodinville, so a member from Woodinville is outnumbered there roughly 4 to 1 before the ranking even starts. There is 1 other incorporated place closer to Bothell than Woodinville is, with about 24,000 people between it, and it tends to come ahead of you in Bothell's deck.
On Amarbis, ranking isn't based on distance. Choose Washington as your region and Bothell 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.
