You Know You Are From Washington When You Know Linda Lou

This morning when I checked the incoming email I saw among the email notifications from Facebook was one telling me the important notification that Linda Lou had tagged me in a post. That tagging is what you are seeing here, above and below...

YOU KNOW YOU ARE FROM WASHINGTON STATE WHEN:

• You know how to pronounce Sequim, Puyallup, Sammamish, Enumclaw and Issaquah.
• You avoid driving through Seattle at all costs.
• You know what a Geoduck is.
• You consider swimming an indoor sport.
• You see a person carrying an umbrella and instantly think tourist.
• Your lawn is mostly moss and you don't really care.
• Honking your car horn is for absolute emergencies.
• You're EXTREMELY picky about your coffee.
• “The mountain is out today", isn't a strange statement.
• While out of state you just tell people you're from Seattle since that's the only known city in Washington according to the rest of the world.
• You remember Almost Live.
• You've eaten in the Space Needle, and while it was delicious, you're never paying $50 for a meal in the sky again.
• You rarely wash your car because it's just going to get washed by the rain tomorrow.
• You're used to the phrase "No, not DC" when telling out of staters where you're from.
• Northface is always in fashion.
• You take a warm coat and a hat with you for a day at the beach.
• You have mastered the art of doing everything in the rain, because, well, Washington.
• You play the "no you go" at four-way stop.
• You have had both the thought of how beautiful Mount Rainier is, while simultaneously accepting that it will probably kill you someday.
• You get a little twitchy if it's been more than a week since it last rained.
• You believe Twilight ruined Forks.
• You can say Humptulips, Lilliwap and Dosewallips without giggling.
