When I moved from college, where I had a busy social life, to Seattle, where the only person I knew was my ex ... it seemed like I would never get to know anyone.

I eventually met people, but I still feel the way you're describing sometimes. I joined the alum group, and my college's alum group, and I take ballet and I cave ... but those people are mostly acquaintances. My group of good friends is small, and mostly Midwestern "expatriates" like myself. I've found that a lot of people who have grown up here just aren't looking to expand their social circle.

You're lucky if you know a few people from where you work. I work with almost no young people - if they are my age, they are married. But through them you may be able to meet other people.
