Also, don’t trust the “Chinese food” in Sequim. It’s disgusting.
Also it’s pronounced “Skwim”

One of the many things Reddit has ruined in Washington. Just like the Vance Creek bridge up by Shelton.
Some bitch has to do yoga poses while getting filmed for internet points and vanity.

Reply to comment by skifever in Just released a WSDOT traffic camera iOS app that lets you view your entire route rather than clicking one at a time. Looking for feedback. Thanks! by skifever
Just FYI: If someone gets mashed up or there’s something else exciting, WSDOT will turn the cameras away.

Everything on the west coast is becoming Seattle/San Francisco cost wise. Tacoma, Vancouver, Portland, San Diego, all of it.

Only if you don’t have to commute. There’s really nice places on that side of the Narrows, but those bridge tolls and traffic are hell.

You get what you pay for. Good neighborhoods aren’t cheap, and cheap neighborhoods aren’t good.

Yep. “Downtown” is just the banking district. It’s a ghost town after hours. The real life of Tacoma is in the neighborhoods. Proctor, Hilltop, Ruston, 6th Ave, Old Town, etc.
back in the 90’s, there used to be a bunch of dance clubs like Drakes and comedy clubs and a huge pool hall/arcade called Jillion’s. There was The Swiss. Oh and a shitty, shitty line dancing redneck hick bar called McHale’s where people liked to stab each other in the parking lot while their cowboy boots slipped around on chew spit.

Fircrest is nice if you have a shitload of money, and don’t need to commute anywhere. It’s a dry town. No bars…unless you belong to the country club.

In the PNW you get what you pay for.
If you want to spend $5000/month, you’re going to have a peaceful life. If you want to spend $500/month, you’re life is gonna suck and you’ll get your car stolen and your crap apartment broken into once a week.

If you can afford it. There’s literally like one tavern and one restaurant and jackshit for schools. It’s pretty much all retirees that want a view of the water and never have to commute anywhere. Also the main west coast rail line runs right through “downtown.” As if it had a downtown.

NO.
The cops are fucking assholes and property crime is rampant.
I’ve seen beater cars slowly casing neighborhoods looking for houses without cameras.
Lakewood is a fucking shithole.

Reply to What's going on with the ferry system? by chownee
The cost of living within commuting distance of a Ferry Terminal is absolutely insane. The salary WSDOT pays ferry crews is abysmal. The crews also are required to have TWIC cards and a shitload of other training and certification which pretty much makes them eligible for maritime jobs paying 10x what WSDOT can pay.
The end result is that the ferry system isn’t sufficiently staffed. Also, would you like to stand in the freezing cold, pissing rain at 3am?

Fern juice will kill nettle stings. Bracken fern is best, sword fern will do the trick as a 2nd place.

Yep. Poison Ivy/Oak will definitely fuck you up. It’s not like nettles. The toxin spreads all over your body.

Their working conditions are complete shit as well. Imagine working 18 hour days in 105° heat only to come back to some shitty tent, get served a tray full of army slop, and then head back out to the fire line at like 3am. For all. Summer. Long.
Guess who gets all the budget money? Hillary Franz and her ass-kissers.

Considering the local population, that is entirely likely. I went out drinking in Forks one night years ago. Some guy asked me where I was from. So I told him. His response was “You one o’ those big city fa**ots?!?” I left as soon as I finished my drink.
