Technically more central Washington, but the towns in the Methow Valley are pretty liberal

Everyone I’ve met in person has been really nice. I joined next door against my better judgement, because a neighbor suggested it as a way to find referrals for landscapers and such. It’s not so much “ oh my god there’s a teenager in a hoodie”, it more bitching about the roads or why they don’t want the golf course touched. Some people on next door are not welcoming let’s say. Oh well. So sad./s

You have to know someone that has one as a pet that's it.

Raccoons are deemed dangerous animals. If you want a pet you literally have to get it as a baby and figure out how to domesticate it.

Yep, Walker Valley is a fairly well traversed site but is easy to get to. Only a short way off road.

I get real giddy when I find a good sized piece of petrified wood(fist sized or bigger). I typically don't hold on to much though, often give it away to friends kids who are intrested in it and there parents can't or won't take them to look. Working on my next round of leaf and fern fossils for gift actually as I type this..

It will undoubtedly be a cool 50 degrees with intermittent rain showers. And it will be awesome!

Yep, before my outside cat died in 2019, she got fed on our front step and I saw a lot of trash pandas and other cats eating food out of her food bowl

Can confirm, just set out cat food and wait until evening and you'll more than likely get a trash panda

And friggin cold.

As someone suggested point defiance. (5 mile drive in the park but they closed it down) the raccoons were being fed so much that they put up signs not to feed them. They would wait on the side of the road with their hands out 😂❤️ can still find them or deers

I love Sirens. Their food is great. That salmon sandwich. Only other bar I’ve been to has been Hilltop and I got a tbi the first time I was there. Totally not my fault. I’m still recovering from it.

So watch out if you go, cause the pull tabs stuff hanging all over the bar block sight lines, and the waitresses come out from behind like gang busters.

But other than that it was fun.

it'll be mega muddy

I feel lucky to enjoy this ride regularly

Me too! Some of the best part of living in Washington.

Depends… how do you feel about wearing a hot dog suit? 🤷‍♂️

point defiance park, not hug but I’ve pet many and fed a deer some berries and got to briefly touch her back, but the raccoons will hold your finger and let you pet them

You could volunteer at wildlife rescue /rehabilitation centers. They have raccoons to feed and care for.

Anywhere there is trash, there is a trash panda.

That’s not Buckley. There’s no Logger’s Playground or speed trap cops everywhere.
No John Birch Society right-wing crazy signs all along the highway.

Debbie Doolittles

No raccoons, but you can snuggle otters and pet cabybaras and kangaroos.

No.

No, there is not.

Didn’t Port Angeles or Sequim have that mayor that was like a complete Q Anon believer and declared that their town was independent from the US or something back in 2020?

My comments about individual actions just refer to the wasteful use of water as a whole, and that maybe, someone seeing a glacier in western washington would inspire better water management practices. I can tell you with 100% certainty, water conservation in car washing and teeth brushing are just as important as global leaders flying every year to COP27 just to tell the world policies aren't working. 27 times so far . Also poor water management practices lead to abuse and over use of aquifers, many people don't know or care. The city of spokane sits on a aquifer that originates in Montana. The town I live in obtains it's water from 5 different wells with help from the city of tacoma. Whats one of the major fund raisers in the summer? Car washes. Usually in a parking lot. Voting progressively won't change how water is managed. You think getting the population to wear masks was a challenge? Wait until cities begin to hire water officers to patrol neighborhoods.

I'll out some cat food on my front porch and you can wait around corner
