Cool. I was in the ferry leaving the dock going to Bremerton.

Man that's a shame...those bland-ass contemporary buildings strip all the character away.

I work inside the park. I'm in Newhalem and Diablo 5 days a week and I drive highway 20 inside of the north cascades national park. You are thinking of the wrong area. I'm at my office inside the park right now.

Ah, I completely missed the funny part of that.

All those huge cars then that small Honda Civic. Edit: Apparently a VW rabbit, my family had a Honda Civic which looked very similar.

I was exaggerating to be funny, I know it angers bootlickers.

Do you really think police chases cause more deaths than criminal activity? No. How many people die everyday from police chases?
According to this study it's less than 1 per day. If less than 1 person per day is dying due to criminal activity then your claim is correct. I'm sure illegal drugs alone kill more than that.

And you didn't refute my first comment about the article either.

Hopefully there's a lawsuit underway already and you can simply do some ground truthing for them.

Actively discourage out of state people from moving over. More people= more urban development and materials ( wood) needed for housing.

That's actually more a Tribal Politics charged move then you may think.
Its worth noting that the Duwamish, under the direction of Chief Seathl, where the only tribe to come to the aid of the city that bore his name during the Battle of Seattle (1856).
The Duwamish divided into two different groups back in the late 1850's with the significant majority banding together with the Buklshuhls and many other tribes on the reservation to become what we call the Muckleshoot; that group inherited the rights as signers of The Treaty of Point Elliott. The other smaller group eventually banded together (or stayed together, the records of their leadership during that time are pretty much non existent) today call themselves the Duwamish, but are not a federally recognized, as the Muckleshoot are viewed as the direct political successors of the Duwamish (1855) that signed the Treaty.

If the driver was going the wrong way on the freeway AN HOUR after the persuit ended, the crash had nothing to do with being pursued by WSP. Also, the driver was going 111 mph before the pursuit started. WSP is just a footnote here. The real story is a possible drunk/drugged driver was going 111 mph and then was going the wrong way on the freeway and caused a fatal accident.
It is also *highly unlikely* (actually complete nonsense) that police chases cause more deaths than criminal activity.

I hope there is. I would be interested in doing so. I had to witness a massacre of forest I grew up with and it’s been something I can’t truly heal from. I really think we need to protect our forests. We already have quite a bit of forests for timber specifically. I grew up around it.

I will definitely look into that. Hopefully it doesn’t come down to people chaining themselves to trees.

Love it. The town where my grandparents and parents grew up is on the map (settled 1846, name changed in 1851, incorporated 1907) but where I grew up (incorporated 1924) wasn't even a city yet, but the area (settled 1849) is named on the map.

The police ahead could shutdown the road and warn people to so they don't get killed.
