First people in neighboring cities and states started listening to grunge, and then the music spread east across the country.

Explanation:

Although grunge in the beginning wasn't so popular through time it started gaining more fans. Things changed the most after Nirvana recorded Nevermind and Pearl Jam recorded Black. The music started spreading outside Seattle, which was a base for most of these bands.
