Never get tired of that view.

People in Seattle don’t own a lot of guns per capita, and those that do (that I know) usually have a favorite range/shop outside of the city they visit on a regular basis. Plus Seattle rent is stupid high, so it’s not really a huge money maker compared to moving to someplace an hour outside the city

Also, having traveled to Canada quite a bit while growing up in the pre-9/11 days, I just have a visceral reaction against having to take my passport to travel there.

I'm not sure about NEXUS, but the benefit over a passport is that if you're driving to Canada, you only need your driver's license. Which, since you're driving, you probably keep on you at all times anyway. Less chance of forgetting and one less thing to carry.

Is there any advantage to EID over a NEXUS card for Canada travel? Or over a passport?

Ooo that's a nice piece of equipment! I've always struggled to get the light flare without washing out the rest of the shot. I'll try cranking up the f stop next time for sure. Thank you!

What about profit on the firearm itself?

Seattle instituted a tax on ammo of $.02/round of .22 and under and $.05/round of ammo over .22. The tax drove the last of the gun shops out, Outdoor emporium is the last FFL I know of in Seattle city limits.

WA enchanced DL is REAL ID compliant.
They'll mostly be looking at your papers. Be sure to bring all that you have: old ID, passport, SS card, any other gov issued IDs, CPL, and other proof of residency, like bills, vehicle registration, or anything else that has your name and address on it.

Thank you! I don’t know why I couldn’t find anything with all this info! Is the enhanced drivers license the same as the real ID?

Fern juice will kill nettle stings. Bracken fern is best, sword fern will do the trick as a 2nd place.

Yep. Poison Ivy/Oak will definitely fuck you up. It’s not like nettles. The toxin spreads all over your body.

You can extinguish nettle stings with fern juice.

YES. Especially around the Puget Sound shoreline and islands.

Wow! Maybe a big cat was trying to drag it up! I’ve never found anything that cool. Found two sheds though. :)

This was taken on February 11th @ 12:45 PM on a trail leading to Carter Falls. By the time we made it closer to the top at Paradise you could see the clouds starting to roll in around 2:30-3:00pm but we timed it perfectly and it was clear skies all the way up until the point we were ready to leave.

Maybe wear bright colors (especially if it’s hunting season) and learn some basics on navigation or buy a sat phone in case you do get lost, letting someone trusted know where you’re going is always a good idea too. But overall it’s pretty safe compared to places like wyoming (absolutely do not wander around the woods by yourself in grizzly country), I think the biggest concern would be getting injured or lost and caught in bad weather (like all winter here) and unable to call for help. If you’re only going a few miles outside of a town anyways you might want to check out hiking trails, you can avoid some of the risks (like difficulty figuring out how to get help to your location) and it’s better for the ecosystem. Idk where you are exactly but I might know of some usually pretty empty trails if you’re ever looking for some!

They punched out the ignition and there were some scuffs that weren't there. My insurance is laying for all the repairs though. The thieves didn't paint my scooter. I hope you find yours and it isn't damaged

If you ain't opposed to a kitchen FFL, Ballard Supply Co is the one to check. I've used him before.
