You know you're from Western Washington when...
I actually found a list of 105 statements of 'You live in W. WA when...', but I decided to just post 25 with some commentary.
1. You know how to pronounce Sequim, Puyallup, Enumclaw and Issaquah. (Yep, I can!)
2. You consider swimming an indoor sport. (It isn't?)
3. You keep snow chains in your trunk but they've never been used.
4. You see a person carrying an umbrella and know they must be a tourist. (I saw someone with an umbrella, and sure enough, she was from California!)
5. Eating seafood isn't anything special.
6. Your lawn is mostly moss and you don't really care.
7. Your daily commute to work involves riding a ferry. (Hold it! Only if you are a Seattle-ite! Down here we drive everywhere)
8. You know the difference between "showers followed by rain" and "rain followed by showers". (Doesn't everybody?)
9. The sight of Mt. Rainier is still awe inspiring.
10. You're extremely picky about your coffee. (Yeah, it's gotta be warm...)
11. You yell at the TV if they pronounce the name of a city wrong or make an inaccurate Seattle reference on "Frasier".
12. You rarely wash your car because it's just going to get muddy again tomorrow. (Especially on our driveway!
13. You wouldn't dream of putting an air conditioner in your house. (Brr!)
14. You go to Eastern Washington to get some sun.
15. You can drive from your home to a lake, a river or the Puget Sound in 20 minutes or less.
16. You've seen or know someone who has seen Bigfoot. (We call my brother Bigfoot...)
17. You remember where you were on May 18th, 1980.
18. You get a terrible sunburn on the first really nice day of summer.
19. You can point to at least 2 volcanoes even if you can't actually see them through the cloud cover. (There's one right... there and... there.)
20. You take a heavy coat and a hat with you for a day at the beach. (We actually do)
21. You have learned to assume Christmas will be rainy, not white. (But hope still exists...)
22. You've owned the same bathing suit for years because you never have a chance to wear it out. (No, I did wear it... once...)
23. You still can't believe the new Seahawks stadium is open air. (Ah, but who cares about the Seahawks! The Mariners are the ones to watch!)
24. You or someone you know works at Boeing or Microsoft. (Mm-hmm)
25. You only visit the Space Needle if you need someplace to take out of town guests.
Just about all of those are true of me, except I wasn't alive in 1980. :-) |
