I would see SEA and assume it was news about the airport, lol.

Yes that gets me too.

Also SEA makes me think Seattle, not South East Asia.

Japan has no urban growth boundary. It sprawls for days. Most of the population live in suburbs. The size if Tokyo suburbs are the stuff of legend. They are denser, but they are SFHs.

We'll never get Tokyo due to the GMA.

How about Australians who see WA and automatically think Western Australia? Or when the story is about Western Australia and Washingtonisns think it's about them?

Takoma (Washington, D.C.)

>Takoma, Washington, D.C., is a neighborhood in Washington, D.C. It is located in Advisory Neighborhood Commission 4B, in the District's Fourth Ward, within the northwest quadrant. It borders the city of Takoma Park, Maryland.

It's Takoma and having recently moved Seattle -> DC it's weirdo

Though to be fair Rainier never actually visited the PNW, it was named by Vancouver who had a bromance for him

Wiki: The current name was given by George Vancouver, who named it in honor of his friend, Rear Admiral Peter Rainier.

I just moved Seattle -> DC and it really messed with me all around.

My city not my state is now Washington.

There's a Washingtonian magazine for here.

Though in a weird way it makes the transition a little easier to see the word everywhere.

Old School Pizza in DT Olympia, then stop at the artesian fountain and say hello to some hippies

'Washington, District of Columbia' is such a weird, annoying name.

I live in Japan though! You’d think with Amazon, Microsoft, Nintendo, and Boeing we’d be better known. I jump to Ichiro now usually and they have a better idea but are still a little confused.

Bring your mace, Portland has gotten really dangerous.

I mean Seattle seems to be a popular destination for international tourism too. I’m studying in Spain rn, many people I’ve met who can speak English have said they’ve been there and liked it (minus the weather ofc)

This whole west-coast-city-bashing thing is really getting out of hand

WHY???

I’ve been there on many BSA backpacking trips, I love that park

Try leaving over seas and explaining that they are not the same place.

I was in a backwoods bar in central Pennsylvania. The woman running barkeep asked where I was from. I told her “Up near Seattle.” She said Oh, my dad took me to the Spokane World’s Fair!
About 3 minutes later, I took a leak.
When I returned to my barstool, my wife whispered “WE NEED TO GET OUT NOW!!”
We snuck out the back and stomped through 2ft deep snow through the woods to run off. Turns out, the local hick population jumped all over her the minute I got up to piss. Fuck Appalachia.

you don’t need to if you’re not driving it on the road, throw it up on fb marketplace though, part outs go fast unless it’s not a highly sought after daily

Anyone else get annoyed when this post comes up again? Also we have it twofold, being Vancouver, Washington.

Looking good regardless of lens 😉 Taken either from Veazie Cumberland Road, or a bit into the open fields.

Who’s the idiot on the naming committee who decided that?

Want something to be extra fucked with? There’s a Tahoma neighborhood in Washington DC. It’s named after Mt Rainier. It was named by a bunch of Jesus freaks that thought they were as close to heaven as the peak of Mt Rainier. It was the site of their HQ.
So yeah, there’s a Tahoma, Washington, DC.
