Here, in WA, mostly everything is online except getting a new license. You can start the paperwork, and upload documents online (use the license express link on dol.wa.gov).

In some state, you can get a non-photo state ID (for example - snowbirds going to AZ) but I'm not sure if we have that here. That would, in theory, allow you to retain your "permanent" ID, and use the non-photo state ID for WA proof.

Thanks my dude! Hey maybe I’ll see you out there doing the same thing! Except I’ll have a doobie in hand 😉

I you want to sail through then drive out to north bend DMV on a week day, it’s normally empty I’ve gotten new licenses there in 20 minutes from showing up.

They hole punch it so it can’t be used like a valid license.

Sweet, how bad were the roads?

It’s closed after Ross Lake , this was a hike near Diablo lake.

How about both at once? Call than an Irish Cocoa.

I've been to that very spot. It's always beautiful no matter the time of year.

And here I am in Federal Way wondering where all the snow we usually get in February has gone.

We are still mid-winter, so not very strange.

Talk story and distract them and maybe they will forget to hole punch ‘em. 😂

I'm happy here in Washington State and I went Down to California and I wasn't very happy... but when i was back home by i-84 i was happy to be home. I hope you'll enjoy the frigid temperatures(like -10°F and below for the low) we have here in the winter.

How’d you get there? Isn’t the highway closed?

Sounds like a good day to sit by the window and drink hot chocolate…or bourbon. Whichever does it for you.

Carson hot springs in the gorge. Carson, WA. I highly recommend it and they have rooms with private Jacuzzis with the hot spring water piped in. Carson has a great brewery with great food. Makes for an all around great weekend. Bonus is you get the gorge and also easy driving in the symmer through old growth forest to see Mt. St. Helens or you could drop into Oregon to visit bridal veil falls.

Most of my photos from late February in Portland over the years show snow.

I can see myself standing in the middle of this, with a fly rod in one hand a flask in the other. Pic well done!

Lucky. It wasn’t sticking in the morning, but started to stick around late noon.

We had snow in Sammamish, but it melted literally two seconds after it stopped coming down.

Yes slippery slope is part of my concern. You said that well.
And yes no one wants to hear a story like that.

Well, it recently merged with the Seattle-Cascade chapter, so it goes all the way from Darrington down to Maple Valley. They met in Redmond in January, but I think they may be moving around to different areas to help more members join. You can find your chapter at www.tu.org/chapters/ if you aren't sure!

I used to see this old Russian dude pull huge carp out of that bog.

Zesty!
