Church based counseling is correlated with a lot of really terrible and chronic abuses.

Honestly, if it was an individual, their identity should be released as well. People have a right to know who has their personal information.

Jesus. Wow!

There’s no current laws that requires this?

It’s 2023! And they have federal/state tax exemption status.

"As currently written, the proposed bill in the Legislature would mandate that clergy report child abuse or neglect if they “received the information from any source other than from a confession.”  "

Bullshit. Include confession.

In case anyone is not aware, this is common sense and up to this point the failure to include clergypersons has been a serious oversight.

The following individuals already fall under mandatory reporting laws in Washington:

• Medical practitioners
• Nurses
• Dentists
• Social service counselors/therapists
• Psychologists
• Medical examiners
• Pharmacists
• School personnel
• Child care providers
• Law enforcement officers
• Juvenile probation officers
• Corrections employees
• DSHS employees
• DCYF employees
• Placement and liaison specialists
• Responsible living skills program staff
• HOPE center staff
• State family and children's ombudsman
• Any volunteer in the ombudsman's office
• Adults residing with child suspected to have been severely abused

Probably should have ran the release past legal before releasing :')

It’s not like they’re going to tell in themselves…

I forgot how gorgeous Shuksan is in the snow! I love it! I gotta get up there.

When I first moved to WA I had JUST renewed my tags in my home state (Ohio). I waited until they expired before I renewed- an entire year later. I never had any problems.

Climbed Mt Shuksan in my youth (1980). See that "ramp" going from high on the left across the mountain down to the right. That is the path of the Sulphide Glacier, which was our route. So we were upon the flanks of Mt Shuksan, looking back at Mt Baker across the valley. Every bit as gorgeous either way. But Shuksan has a bit higher claim on pure aesthetic beauty, I think :).

Never registering for voters card ever again no matter where i live this is ridiculous.

Unless you got a red card in the mail, you’re good. Just go to dmv and get it changed.

That I know, but every salvage vehicle just comes with a bill of sale on every auction site such as IAAI and copart, so that would basically be every vehicle.

What a beautiful shot!! Excellent job!!

I might transfer to WWU next year (if I don’t make UW) after 2 years spent at an east coast college that I find doesn’t suit me, if I do I can go there often. Dunno what I was thinking, choosing that over Lewis & Clark

We went through this last year. No one asked how long we were in Washington. We got our drivers licenses, and then registered our cars once the old states registration expired.

K, so who’s gonna build and maintain infrastructure so that free trade can exist?

Sounds like you didn't move to Washington until last week

Do not buy any vehicle without a title.

There is no need for a WSP inspection when registering an out of state vehicle.

This can be a bigger deal if your insurance lapses (can be a big fine in states with a system that tracks that) or you get in an accident & your insurance won't cover you because it's the wrong state. Some states are absolutely insane about this stuff (Virginia is one I know is, no idea about Utah- WA is pretty lax about it in my experience) but keep all records of changing your insurance & title (old & new) & reg etc. etc. Some make you send in plates (not sure how enforced that is?) Some go after you 7 yrs from when you moved & will put a hold on your license so you can't renew & need a lawyer & a bunch of paperwork to get it corrected even though you lived in that state for less than a month oy vey.

Just get it registered & license renewed for WA - they have no idea when you got there & they honestly don't care as long as you are actively getting it registered & insured in the correct state.

Shuksan is so gorgeous. Baker has the best parking lot views anywhere imo.

I swear half the people snowshoeing had the exact same ones that REI rents out lol. REI is cheap but if you're looking to buy, look used first. They should last years and years so there's not a ton of reason to go new if it's just for casual use

Absolutely. :)
