Reply to comment by Franck_Dernoncourt in What's the cheapest long-term care insurance that qualifies for the Washington state long-term care payroll tax exemption? by Franck_Dernoncourt
If you want to use the exclusion then I would keep the policy with that date. You can always have multiple policies.

The 9.0+ where it's like the whole region gets stuck inside a Shake Weight is not going to be a good time.

The structural building code (the International Building Code, IBC) in Washington in general specifies what loads must be applied to a structure (earthquake, wind, snow) and how the structure must be adequate to withstand these loads and allow all occupants to escape after an event (eg earthquake).
An engineers gain nothing if a building is over- OR under- built, as they are paid based on a finished set of plans and calculations, so it isn't fair to say engineers are shortsighted. In contrast, the owners/developers of a building want to legally build as inexpensively possible (of course) because they are a business and they can absolutely be short-sighted, but the building code still requires all structures to be engineered to allow all occupants to escape.

It's my understanding the Summer schedule isn't set yet for some routes, they are waiting to see how many ferries and crew they have before they announce the updated summer schedule which is rumored to be like 60% of the trips in 2022 due to lack of boats/crew.

That depends. You don’t want to overbuild just for the sake of overbuilding, that’s just make things more expensive needlessly. We still just want to design things to meet its expected requirements, you just want to expand what those requirements are. We would definitely benefit from more infrastructure being built to last longer and be more resilient. But here in Washington we don’t really need to build things to withstand tornadoes. There’s an old saying in engineering: “Any idiot can build a bridge that stands, but it takes a good engineer to build a bridge that barely stands.”

I don’t know if this is correct but I know for San Juan Islands (and some others) they have seasonal schedules and maybe they won’t let you reserve for the next season until the schedule is posted?

It’s closer to every 2 hours with some gaps closer to 4 hours.

It’s been like that for months. I’m curious as well.

Yeah. I realized after looking at it some more that I could crop out some foreground and make a 16x9 crop.
You got 2560x1440? Here you go.

Not like anyone will pay for this stuff. Any billionaires want to adopt me so I can take pictures all the time?

Can they bump a new hire out of work, or force that new hire to be demoted? I would think not, but if they come back to an entry-level position, all we're going to hear from them is how they got screwed (without mentioning that they made a choice to be a human covid-19 delivery vehicle)

Nah. If they aren't civically minded, they ought to go to the back of the line.

I moved away from Tacoma about 2 years ago and chambers bay is a place I miss. Point Ruston is the other one. For all its issues, Tacoma does have a world-class park system.
