Just updated the title of the Substack post also.

I don't think the question requires the reader to ignore what ‘east’ means, however. There is unambiguously one direction at Seattle (tangent to the Earth's surface) which is facing due east.

I also didn't mean to take a patronising/arrogant tone to the reader and I'm sorry if that was the impression I gave.

Reading these comments I agree that the title is far too misleading (and unnecessarily so). Changed to “A path from Seattle”.
