1. Uryu used a lot of Hollow bait, so much so that it drew the attention of a Gillian. Aizen later stated he had a hand in this

2. Rukia was inside a gigai that was slowly turning her into a Human. They were looking, but she was difficult to find and once again, Aizen stated her had a hand in all of this.

3. Urahara had been dealing with Soul Society for a while. He owned a shop to supply members of the Gotei 13 who came to the Human world. He wasn't really in hiding, just in exile.

4. Uryu considers himself the last Quincy now that his grandfather Soken is dead. Soken was the last Quincy before Uryu was trained. This is because Ryuken gave up being a Quincy, he did not want to be a Quincy any longer.
