My brother lives in Longview they only got a dusting of snow there last night.

You can always Google map or use waze. The estimated drive time will give you a good idea

That's the truth. It can get pretty busy in the summer.

It's really the perfect winter trail... super close to the city if you're trying to squeeze in a quick after-work hike before the sun goes down.

Well said, especially the last part.

There are towns and cities in W. Washington that are worse off and more economically depressed than Shelton.

I've had a LARGE dog run towards me in absolute fury in the past. I saw my life flash before my eyes. He jumped the fence and bolted toward me and a friend.

I yelled, waved my arms, and the dog backed off.

I no longer walk around Shelton without carrying my Glock.

This is the #1 danger in Shelton. Not the tweakers.

One of my favorites, except for summer

I am a little familiar with Shelton, for better or for worse.

Quiet, quaint, and people are slightly nicer than in larger cities/towns.

Shelton, in my opinion is a dying town that is being kept alive by the few thousand Guatemalans that have arrived to the area in the last decade or so.

I see more sketch folks loitering these days than I did a decade ago..

Smoking mo's? That BBQ place is so freaking good.

One of my favorite trails. I like that there is no parking pass requirement, and fairly abundant parking. It's also a fairly easy trail, and the views from the top are just spectacular :).

Well, I'm born and raised in shelton. I can't speak to it much over the past 10 years, but I can say it was awful growing up there (nothing to do in the early 2000s) and my family still lives there. The schools are still terrible, or so im told. Violent crime went up - used to live in a pretty safe area. A few years back, a drug deal down the street went wrong and a guy was executed in his house over it. Drugs are an even bigger problem now than it used to be.

Personally, I'd never move back there. Won't raise a family there. No way.

Correct. They actually MOVED the police station because it was across the street from the bus station the Prison dumps off convicts with nowhere to go.

It’s fine, not my first choice but I have family that lives there and I never saw anything criminal when visiting. Their neighborhood looked nice. It is a little methy though

Gas is cheaper at the Aberdeen Safeway than it is in Port Angeles. Either way, you want to top off before you get out on the coast. Aberdeen is also well known for its serial killers.

LOL what’s right about Aberdeen is the proper question.

The first time I witnessed some guy smoking meth out of a broken lightbulb in public was in Belfair. That was in 1993. I can’t imagine how bad it’s gotten today.

The schools suck. The culture is shitty. Very redneck. The cops are dicks. You’re a long-ass drive from everywhere. Excellent Mexican food though.

Central Vancouver, yep. Almost a foot. It’s awesome.

Yes, it is. But if you’re a Trumper, you’d be among your people.

You can keep it, but you will have to retest. You won't have to retest if it is valid and you submit it, WA DOL will punch a hole in it and return it.

So understatedly wicked ha

I like this way of thinking. Kind of sums up my current living situation. The idea of people being low income doesn’t scare me. But it’s interesting to see how it can make people associate low income with “bad people”
