Robles family
Guys. The prominent family mentioned in the blog is the Robles family. Robles. CA. Am I the only one whose mind goes to Paso Robles? (I.e., CA wine country?)

Yep, I thought of Paso Robles too, when I heard that name, and there are a lot of wineries on the interior ( opposite side of the ocean ).
But San Sequoia seems to be kind of a combination of San Francisco ( the bridges over the ocean ) and Sequoia national park, which is south east of San Francisco, there are huge Redwood tree’s above San Francisco too though, so I think the city will be like SF, it looked rather hilly like SF too in the video, and at least one neighborhood will be very woodsy. I think the pack will be based on on mid/upper California. Hopefully with swimming and piers in the warf area.
I would love to see trolly cars make an appearance too, but I doubt we will see that.
Yeah, that's why I've been talking about the resemblance to Marin County since even before we got the trailer, which technically encompasses both some suburbs of San Francisco and some points further north (including, I believe, Muir Woods). It kind of sounds like the different neighborhoods will encompass different aspects of those areas, or at least hopefully so.
Anyway, it's certainly farther north than Paso Robles, but given that this is an unmistakably California-inspired world, it just doesn't seem like a total coincidence to me.

From the trailer I got a weird Asian vibe re one family, not their surroundings. No idea what the family was named, probably the Michaelsons. The family that was visited by grandparents. Even the hairstyle of the infant starting the trailer looked Asian-ish to me, although I'm pretty sure that hairdo is rather common (and practical) to infants/toddlers all over the world ;)
Is there any past immigration/cultural influence involving any Asian country in the RL area that San Sequoia is based on?
Definitely! As Haflinger mentioned, there are several different Asian communities, but probably it's most well-known for Chinatown.
Going out on a limb, though, I don't think that family is going to be the Robles family, though I hope we do get them as premades.
