I hit Mt Baker for some snowshoeing on Jan 2nd. Never been before. What a cool place. It was like a big snow playground. People going off in every direction to find their own path.

Also lost my phone, vanished into some fresh powder near Artist Point. Still worth.

This is why we love the PNW the way we do! Gorgeous photo and I bet it was a magical adventure when you got it.

I had a similar situation in 1990. My husband and I bought a used car in Oklahoma while he was in the military. I drove it home to Washington with the temporary license. The dealer didn't send the license plates before the temp expired. When I tried to register it in Washington it was going to cost over $500. The very nice lady at the licensing agent told me that if the car didn't have an expired out of state plate, things would be easier. I had my husband register the car in Oklahoma and send me the plates. With a current out state plate it only cost $60 to register the car in Washington.

There is also tax … I think they collect it when you bring a car in. There is a form for lowering your tax… you get a quote for tires and wheels and new paint and eat up the value on most order Vehicles in short order. (I dont recall the form but i google every time I register a car or boat and it has been helpful) a couple hours driving around can save a grand in taxes.

Good luck

Transparency and political parties really like a good database dump too. Unfortunately it's pretty tough for people from dysfunctional families who aren't terrible enough to qualify them for Washington's address conveniently program. I didn't register to vote for years until I moved out of state because I didn't want shitty family on my doorstep.

This afternoon was super clear! I had a nice view of Baker on the way home from work all the way from the other side of the sound. Your view is better!
