I live in Lakewood ( Oakbrook ), very quiet and great neighbors. But fucks come into the neighborhood break into homes hit up on mailboxes, less than other parts of town. Still very good place to live.

Because of the distance of the Cascadia Subduction Zone from Seattle, the local shaking will be more comparable to a magnitude 7 quake directly beneath Seattle. The biggest concerns for this quake scenario are the regional scale of the effects, and especially the dangers on the coast of the tsunami that will likely accompany it.

Here are the USGS predicted intensity maps showing this, as well as the 2001 Nisqually quake and the 2023 Turkey quake for comparison:

Magnitude 9.3 Cascadia Subduction Zone - Predicted - Modified Mercalli Intensity in Seattle 7 to 7.5

Magnitude 7.2 Seattle Fault Zone - Predicted - Modified Mercalli Intensity in Seattle 8 to 8.5

Magnitude 6.8 2001 Nisqually Quake - Modified Mercalli Intensity in Olympia: 6.5 to 6.8

Magnitude 7.8 Turkey 2003 Quake - Modified Mercalli Intensity: Over 9 in the worst affected areas

With that said, construction methods and quality matter a lot. The shaking in the Gaziantep, where a historically significant castle received major damage that has been shown widely in the news, the Mercalli Intensity is estimated at 6.7 - similar to what Olympia experienced in 2001.

No problem! r/outrun/ is another great one for this photo, just remembered it.

Totally. Lakewood blows. I go for the Asian food and GTFO ASAP.

NO.
The cops are fucking assholes and property crime is rampant.
I’ve seen beater cars slowly casing neighborhoods looking for houses without cameras.
Lakewood is a fucking shithole.

The cost of living within commuting distance of a Ferry Terminal is absolutely insane. The salary WSDOT pays ferry crews is abysmal. The crews also are required to have TWIC cards and a shitload of other training and certification which pretty much makes them eligible for maritime jobs paying 10x what WSDOT can pay.
The end result is that the ferry system isn’t sufficiently staffed. Also, would you like to stand in the freezing cold, pissing rain at 3am?

Mr. Detail in Ballard did a great job detailing my wife’s Subaru. They got all the green crud off the exterior and all the pet fur out of the interior. Great tint job too. Highly recommend.

This gives me GTA V bridge vibes! Sweet picture!!

If you keep to the main tracks you might get by in boots, but you'll posthole at some point for sure. I actually removed snowshoes for particularly steep sections when going down, as snowshoes become almost like skis, so it's easier to make your own steps by going heel first. But, for the most part I was wearing snowshoes. It really depends on how well packed is the trail: if you go after a snowstorm, it's going to be very difficult to go around with no snowshoes. I think most people were using snowshoes or skis to get up this past weekend. Some skiers were climbing steep sections in their boots though.

I don't think microspikes would have been useful. It was mostly fresh or packed snow. Even on steep sections, there were steps from other hikers that you can use, or you can make your own.

Beautiful. Thank you! I take it snowshoes are required? Is it possible to get by with microspikes?

Thanks for the endorphins. ;)

Also the links. Good to find new subs, I have a few that fit them.

I might have posted this in ITAP already.

I’ve lived in some sketchy areas in Washington and across the country but I wouldn’t want to live in Lakewood

I went to High Panorama Point at 7200ft. Around here: 46.805151, -121.728987
Mt St Helens photo was taken from a lower point: 46.799750, -121.733861

You can paste these coordinates in Google, Reddit is not allowing me to use Google maps short URLs to share it directly.

Lakewood is very different depending on what part of the city you are in. The areas near the lakes towards the NW side of town are very nice and pretty quiet, whereas the the SE part of town near JBLM is one of the highest crime areas in greater Tacoma. YMMV.

Also keep in mind that the downtown/city center area of Tacoma is at the far northeast side of Tacoma, not actually in the center.

Eh, Imgur compression. Close enough...

Your exposure to crime in these cities is going to have a strong correlation with your income level. Both are pretty bad statistically though. Tacoma crime index is 0. Lakewood 2.

That's simply gorgeous! How far up did you snowshoe? I see you got high enough to get a good view of St Helens!

Just so the same thing happens next disease. What a waste of time

Which ferry are you looking at? Some boats are scheduled for haul out maintenance in the coming months.

This is a spectacular low light photo. It's fine art level.

r/FoggyPics/ would love this, as would r/TheNightFeeling/, and of course the photography subreddits like r/itookapicture. I mainly shoot low light photos in empty city/infrastructure scenes, so I see and take a lot of photos with scenes like this, yours is specifically excellent.

I was there yesterday! Beautiful spot and great shot!

Got it, thanks

>You can always have multiple policies.

No thanks, my goal is minimizing expenses.

Is this the right image? It looks compressed. Would love the image, thanks OP!

Badass shot
