Interesting that the map shows an island that doesn't exist, just east of Vashon off shore of what is now Normandy Park. I would suspect that somehow represents three tree point but the point is definitely not an island and I would be surprised if it was at the time this map was drawn.

>Any idea about puget the person?
Peter Puget was a British naval officer and colleague of Captain George Vancouver (who named Puget Sound after Puget) who explored and surveyed the Pacific North American coast, from the Columbia River to Alaska.

The sheriff of Lewis County is a complete tool. He needs to have his feet held to the fire on this.

Washon's Island instead of Vashon Island. I wonder if there is German history there.

Seattle- tech people, hipsters, homeless people. These are not just stereotypes of Seattle, they are facts.

I'm definitely thinking of HB 1388, but I did read that the were three bills up concerning tenants rights and rent. HB 1389 seems to be the second, but I can't find the third.
Thank you for your input, though!

A problem is that once you make good friends if they're transplants, they move away in a few years when they get priced out or go back to live near family.

It is HR 1389 that you are talking about.
It is still in the House committee and has not had a floor vote in either chamber.
With this status this far into the legislative session, it is unlikely to pass.
Edit: the Senate version, SB5435, is even less far along, not having even made it to committee yet.

Any idea about puget the person? I met a person visiting from Australia who kept saying puggit sound. And it took me a few hours to understand they had only read the word, and never heard anyone pronounce puget.

The bill was introduced but hasn't gone to committee or put on any calendar, so it does not look like it will be taken up anytime soon.

Moved to Camas, Washington in August. Still have ZERO local friends :( it’s my own fault tho. Haven’t been putting myself out there and I’ve been using my family here to fill the void of not having friends to hangout with
