Western WA things from a long term resident:
Cause eastern wa is basically a different state
… note that while I have lived here for over a decade I’m just talking my experience
——————
> people who live in the more rural areas find it real strange when there’s continuous smog. Like fog happens all the time but usually that brown haze obscuring the mountains doesn’t last long bc the rain deletes it.
> some people love Seattle and some people hate what Seattle currently is and will rant about it
> The sand is typically relatively coarse and greyish. I went somewhere with kids-picture-tan sand recently and was surprised that that actually exists. Softer sand is usually only in the actual water in areas with more clay.
> We really don’t use umbrellas often, and it’s not so much stubbornness as it is that hoodies exist and no one really walks long distances unless they’re in a city center. There aren’t sidewalks, so you only have to deal with the rain between your transport and the door of your destination.
> if you plant mint, berries, bamboo, or blow dandelions, you are dedicating yourself to having it for life
> ppl are often very careful about food crumbs or they have ants. Sometimes both.
> there are rabbits, deer, raccoons, coyotes, and opossums. You’re gonna see or hear a lot of them, some more alive than others
> people say bag like flag/had/amp. It’s strange and unusual to hear someone say “bayg” but some people do.
> older adults and some of their kids will add an unnecessary “s” to the names of places and I don’t know why (Haggens, safeways, bartells)
> some of those same adults say “worshington” and the rest of us consider them instant enemies.
> during like 2/3 of the year there are bees everywhere. There is gonna be a dumb black jack in your house. It seems like a hive lives in every coffee stand. Wasps have taken up residence by your shed.
> speaking of coffee stands it’s unbelievable leaving Washington and not having coffee stands/shops/bars everywhere. Also where is the lotus?
> Every group of adults u join are gonna have some constant plaid wearers. That’s just the way it is.
> snow plows don’t go everywhere. This isn’t Chicago. We do not prepare. The plows get the arterials and highways and that’s about it unless ur somewhere real fancy.
> you can find clay like… everywhere if you know what it looks like.
> trying to look something up in your state and the results bringing up wa dc is infuriating
> people can get very excited when it’s clear enough to see rainier. For real though you can see rainier, the Olympics, and the cascades from the highway in many places
