Outbacks just have a 26.2 or 13.1 sticker on them

There's a reason the stereotype exists

Case in point:

I lived right down the street from there by Steilacoom Park and WSH. A frickin' tornado in WA. One more reason to be glad I got out of Lakewood.

Luckily I made it out of Lakewood in 98 and moved to Oly Yeah, that weather was weird.

Speaking of, I'm looking out my window in Olympia right now and guess what? It's raining

Need all the rain we can get. Many more winters like last year and it'll turn into CA.

I've seen some older outbacks that look like they are being held together by bumper stickers.

I lived just across the Sound in Kitsap County for two years. Lots of intelligent, educated, affluent whites. Few blacks and surprisingly few Jews. So that's a plus for you.

Lots more Asians than you're probably accustomed to, and the whites are dirty dirty liberals and generally won't share your commitment to bringing down the ZOG JOO devil machine.

But you can toke up when the stress gets to you. Call it a wash.

I'm here. Live in Queen Anne if you're working for a TV station. You'll be close. You don't want to commute here.

Do you believe that you're moving to Seattle the same way you believe the holocaust didn't happen?

Sounds good. I might make it to Pt Defiance if I'm feeling motivated.

Baton Rouge gets more rain annually than Seattle


and so does Houston, Birmingham, and Atlanta.. Seattle does have a haze over it during the winter months that can be kind of a bummer. Summer in Seattle is superior to summers in the south. It's pretty dry, sunny, and the days are long.

The PNW is awesome. Seattle is pretty expensive though due to the demand.

Just got hired for a new job in Seattle, anyone got any advice


I moved to Portland from Florida last August for a job offer. It's been really tough at times to be so far away from friends and family, but it's also been such a cool adventure up to this point.

Buy a few Gore Tex-type jackets, though.
