Washington State that is! I stole this from a Sonic's blog from someone named "sea dawg" and shortened it.
1. You know the state flower (Mildew)
2. You feel guilty throwing aluminum cans or paper in the trash.
3. Use the statement “sun break” and know what it means.
4. You have never visited the Space Needle.
5. You buy your seafood from a grocery store and not Pike Place Market.
6. You know what Wa Mu stands for.
7. You know more than 10 ways to order coffee.
8. You know more people who own boats than air conditioners.
9. You stand on a deserted corner in the rain waiting for the “Walk” signal.
10. You consider that if it has no snow or has not recently erupted, it is not a real mountain.
11. You freak out when it snows less than an inch and call in sick.
12. You have yet to visit Underground Seattle.
13. You make fun of tourists who ride the duck.
14. You know there's no such thing as sasquatch.
15. You refuse to sell your house to someone moving from California.
16. You can taste the difference between Starbucks, Seattle’s Best, Tulley's and Folgers.
17. You know the difference between Chinook, Coho, and Sockeye Salmon.
18. You know how to pronounce Sequim, Puyallup, Issaquah, Bremerton, Oregon, Yakima, and Willamette. Also…Snohomish, Fall City, Skykomish, Swinomish, Squamish, Squaxim, Steilacoom, and Skookumchuck.
19. You are not fazed by “Today’s forecast: showers followed by rain,” and “Tomorrow’s forecast: rain followed by showers.”
20. You have no concept of humidity without precipitation.
21. You notice “the mountain is out” when it is a pretty day and you can actually see it.
22. You put on your shorts when the temperature gets above 50, but still wear your hiking boots and parka. You switch to your sandals when it gets about 60, but keep the socks on.
23. You think people who use umbrellas are either wimps or tourists.
24. You know all the important seasons: Almost Winter, Winter, Still Raining (Spring), Road Construction (Summer), Deer & Elk Season (Fall)
25. You use "pop" and not "soda" or worse yet, "coke" to order a beverage.
I pass on everything other than the coffee items. Laura is much more a Washington native when it comes to knowing about that. I haven't been to the Seattle Underground and the one and only time I ever went up in the Space Needle was with people from out of town.
