Reply@Ted - I think you're the only person we've heard from who has heard a cicada in McLean. I haven't heard or seen any sign of them. They're really everywhere in Prince William County (I was there last weekend).

I think a lot of people wanted that, but it is a Fresh Market, according to both city officials and the Fresh Market company. We wrote about it here: http://westendalexandria.patch.com/articles/the-fresh-market-coming-to-bradlee-shopping-center and it's confirmed as an announced lease on the Fresh Market website here: http://www.thefreshmarket.com/all-stores/announced-leases.

Reply@Amy F. is right! The last big swarm was Brood X in 2004. This is Brood II, which last emerged in 1996 So, actually, we get "17-year cicadas" in Northern Virginia every eight or nine years.
