Absolutely interested. Local tris are the gateway into the sport (for many people at least). I love doing the local tris. Super easy logistically, great to see same people over and over again, and I love being able to be home from the race by lunch time and still have time to go about my day, etc.
Don't get me wrong, traveling for destination races is also absolutely fun. But I think local races are (or should be) the bread and butter of triathlon. Just my 2¢.
