But it was like being with the Beatles. People would stop them every thirty seconds to get a picture. It was really cool. We mostly shot in the woods, which was an hour drive outside the city, but we also shot on the streets of Seattle. That was crazy because women were on their way to work and would just stop because they were all of a sudden face-to-face with the Grey's Anatomy actors. Anywhere from three hundred to four hundred people would gather, just to watch. The actors were very gracious and posed for pictures.
