That's 20% so I think you're good.

The thumbnail looked like a dry dam to my blind ass. Wonderful photo.

Yep this is Enumclaw!

There’s a really good spot to catch catfish and crawdads right around this location.

You definitely should read the comment above. You're definitely obligated to tip

I feel like I'm there, so nicely done.

It's a tough perspective, but then again that's why I take pictures and don't paint/draw. :)

Hmm. That is a decent picture. Usually I just take a picture of the epic mountain, but this time I got something interesting in the foreground.

Here's the gallery from the day. https://imgur.com/gallery/GjW5RyA

You have to 'open image in new tab' to get the actual full size...couple 3440x1440 wallpaper sizes in there.

To the left of the mountain is Pitcher Mountain (5915 ft). The view of Little Tahoma is blocked.

Yea I did the opposite move, MI to WA and in both I just throw them in the recycle anyway. The deposit was such a pain to actually use.

As they get base pay plus a percentage of the order, you aren’t obligated to tip. So don’t worry about it - the fees are enough pay for what they do.

Ok, I love it that Pshyt was used!

do you sell your art? this is beautiful

From wiki - The name comes from its Quileute name,meaning "sparkling waters"

The Quileute language is an isolate, as the only related aboriginal people to the Quileute, the Chimakum, were destroyed by Chief Seattle and the Suquamish people during the 1860s. The Quileute language is one of only six known languages lacking nasal sounds

you can do mobile deposits but atms are always open unless they’re stocking money

This is a good, long article on our Sno Park program, its history, funding, the way it's run, and changes that might come in the following years.

> SNOQUALMIE PASS — Washington’s Sno-Park program is flush with nearly $2 million in revenue, almost double pre-pandemic sales. So, when you buy a permit for a day or season of sledding, snowshoeing or cross-country skiing — some of the cheapest ways to play outside in winter — who decides how the money is spent?

> The nine volunteer members of Washington’s Winter Recreation Advisory Committee sit down every summer to dole out dollars for the season ahead. Come winter, they check on the fruits of their labor firsthand.

> Last month, the WRAC met at the state’s busiest winter recreation hub, Snoqualmie Pass. The committee consists of six area members who come from different geographic parts of the state, plus three snowmobilers. The program’s bylaws stipulate that members represent the whole state, not their particular patch.

They have tons. If you search for a location on the BECU website you can filter for ATMs in the CO-OP network and use any of those.

Anyways, "the co-op" is the sole recipient of all unclaimed deposit state wide. Bottles from Washington are not legal to take to BottleDrop in Oregon, but there's no technical measures in place preventing so. So, OBRC (the co-op) loses 10 cents for every Washington can redeemed in Oregon. The only thing preventing this from happening right now is staff intervention at redemption center where they may ask people to see their Oregon ID or receipt from people who arrive in Washington plated vehicles. So, the co-op is wanting to bottle bill Washington so their industry members can avoid having to code containers differently and to maximize opportunity on profiting on unclaimed deposit on Washington side if it's implemented.

From the article:

>The co-op is also involved in discussion around a bottle redemption program in neighboring Washington state, something Bailey said is the next big step forward for the region and a massive opportunity.

>“If Washington and Oregon were to have aligned systems, imagine being able to live in Vancouver, shop in Oregon, return your containers in Vancouver,” he said. “Have it be able to cross state lines. Imagine the sort of critical mass that you would get, of PET and aluminum and glass, and the cool things you could do with that – the next steps, the flaking, the pelletizing.”

We moved from OR to WA. Not having to keep our cans separate from the general recycling was liberating. We'd honestly given up on separating them out even before we moved just because they were a pain to deal with and not worth the time. They were still recycled, just through regular recycling.

And with municipal recycling in place, bottle deposits don't have a very significant impact in general. I think the difference that bottle deposits create is just that people who could use every cent are probably picking up cans that would be ignored otherwise.

If you don’t mind me asking, what part of the state were you Rockhounding?

Oh my bad wrong one. I haven't checked WSECU yet but since I'm driving up that way later I'm stopping there to try.

Credit unions down here like Red Canoe won't let me I mean.

Do you know if their ATMs are open 24 hours?

That's weird. Wsecu and becu are shared branches according to becu website. Ugh, that must be frustrating for you.

They have dropoff locations at grocery stores, so you can just drop the cans off when you go grocery shopping. So, yes, it isn't costing me anymore in gas and minimal extra time dropping off the cans.

I asked and I have to be a member lol. Wish BECU had more shared branches or would expand.
