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.
