He would 100% fit in at ~beaconrock and I'm not sure Claudia would have much for him as a past friend but she'd definitely befriend him in the present!
She grew up in Seattle in the '90s, heavily involved in the grunge scene. Did a total 180 and started working for a tech company in 1999, became Director of Training and Development in 2008, traveled between the Pacific Northwest and California for work. She met her (now ex-) husband at 29, they were together 2003-2014, they relocated to Portland in 2011, divorced amicably after her mother passed away in 2014. She opened a lifestyle boutique in Portland in 2015 and she's been there ever since, championing the community and getting to know other small/local business owners and bringing people together at her store! (It's literally a huge connection point in our version of Portland, ahaha.)
