5 seems to be the one that might fit this quandary but I also feel like crowd sourcing an answer for a question of this evocation is justifiable. Internet’s gotta internet.

Dicks Drive In local burger place.

Been a while , but the memories remain.

The news should say "in the nations capitol today..."

Yeah, is why I said it made sense in the context of this subreddit lol

The bias or neediness is strong in you two.

I get what you mean. I'm pretty sure there's only one Tri-Cities, WA. Or, only one that the general population would know. And since this is a Washington subreddit, that's why I threw that out there. But yes, people in Washington generally know that Tri-Cities is a specific place in Southeast Washington.

So you think taking the ferry from Vancouver Island to Vancouver to see Deception Pass only to then take the limited access ferry back to the Olympic Peninsula makes sense? That turns a 4 hour trip to Portland into a 10+ hour journey.

Thank you! Sincerity rules!

Remember those dingalings who were so proud they found hotels in Vancouver WA for the Winter Olympics in BC

From experience, do you have a suggestion of purveyor?

Writing this down.

Not taking aim at you, promise. This is something I've only found recently and it bugs me personally.

'Tri-Cities'. Holy F. 'Tri-Cities' is such an overused thing that if you used that phrase, you absolutely should get confused looks. In the context of the forum, your use of the phrase makes sense, but like a lot of the other comments I definitely have to use extra brain power to figure out where the hell people are talking are talking about.

I just found out my hometown in California is part of a 'Tri-Cities'...thing. In LA county. Does that even count? Then...there's a second Tri-Cities in LA county? This one was bigger...and there's apparently a number of them in California, and a few larger ones out East. I remember one up North near St. Louis or something (this was the first time I'd heard of the phrase, so I assumed it was the first one? I have no clue.)

Nowadays, I think that phrase is just used for gatekeeping. Just tell me the city name or the region name, thx!

The other one is L.A. versus LA c'mon people!

Sadly, sometimes clarifying with, "No, the state. You know, grunge music? The Space Needle?" has helped me

Agreed. And how many months of the year are they really riding? Mainly summer months. So we switch everything around for the minority that have minority usage of the road? No.

Looks like my info, based on personal experience, is outdated. I’ve updated my post correspondingly. Thank you for pointing out the error. I don’t mind being corrected when I’m wrong.

The people who ride bikes in Tri-Cities are crazy people. Very few do I ever see driving responsibly. Usually driving 20-30 miles over the limit and are going so fast you can't hear them until they are passing you. Not sure they will care about any laws, they don't care about them now.

It’s even more annoying when someone just says “Vancouver” instead of specifying they mean the Vancouver in Canada. The Vancouver here has been around decades longer.

Not to mention that there’s also a Bellevue and Capitol Hill in D.C.

When I was a child I used to think that whenever the news said Washington, I thought they met our state.

Ah, at the top of Green Valley on the way down Lucky Shot. I know this scene well.

Great shot. Hard to believe that Rainier’s summit is over 7,000’ higher than where you are.
