Reply to comment by Nixx_Mazda in 'Alpenglow - First light in the North Cascades of Washington' -- I've put together a little photo essay, 12 photos from 4 sunrises (plus 1 video) by Nixx_Mazda

It's less about what the definition of "ridge" is, and more about the whims of cartographers and those charged with formally registering geographic place names. You can only fit so much on a map before it gets cramped and unreadable, and in this case it's just not a very prominent feature either (despite looking so from certain angles), so it was likely just not deemed significant enough to bother naming.

A lot of place names originate from outdoor recreation communities as well, and summits are often named by climbers. That this ridge isn't recognized by name (other than the specific high points I mentioned previously) within the climbing community is kind of a testament to its relative insignificance.

We did a coast trip in January. Started at pacific beach state park, then to Quileute Oceanside resort and ended at fort Flagler. Had fires at each. I will say this was in an RV (a first for me) but there were campsites at each spot. Otherwise I use Hipcamp to secure camping spots.

Depends on how far you want to go, but check out Deception Pass state park. They have year round camping. The loop open this time of year is forested and fairly protected from the wind.

You will be alright in engineering. If you have any title (PE, PMP or any other) the US doesn’t recognize those from other countries, you’ll have to sit for the exams in order to be able to use them or stamp any work in the US.

So I’m in a position that my friend married a Dutch man so I’ve had a little insight. One, it took literally forever for him to actually be granted his conditional green card and be able to work. There was a lot of dragging on the government’s end. I also don’t know what his degree is in, but it is actually useless here. He’s not able to work jobs he worked in the Netherlands in WA. I’d hazard that engineering would not have the same issues, but that’s been their experience.

Also, as a heads up, if you are getting married on a fiancé visa, the government is going to look for any reason to declare your marriage fraudulent. They went after my friends about 4 years in their marriage for not having a house or child, in Seattle. My friend had literally everything documented to prove otherwise, but the reasoning was if they didn’t have a child or a mortgage in a high cost of living area, then clearly this was a scam. Basically make sure everything is joint and your name is on everything. That was the only proof they had.

As alluded to, it's more important to use US conventions for how you represent your experience than any footnote about your education. I don't know how an "Associate's degree" and "post-Bachelor" translate to equivalents in the US, but I would list that mapping like "(equivalent to 4-year B.S)" on the resume itself.

Some industries expect an exhaustive CV while others want just a synopsis resume as well. Recognize that a resume is not a CV.

Relevant experience is so much more important than where your degree comes from. You'll need to be extremely prepared so you can impress during the interviews. If you have trouble getting replies from your resume submittals, find an expert to help you tailor your resume to individual job openings. Most companies use a AI-based tool as a first filter to submitted resumes. Experts will help you get past this first filter so you can get to the next step, a phone interview. Good luck.

Yeah...it just is kinda amusing that the county celebrates hops.. so you'd think they'd be all about the new market for hops' closest relative -- cannabis -- but no.

Less amusing is the amount of growers they still bust for growing in the lower valley.

As far as indo vs outdoor a lot of operations were ditching indoor in favor of greenhouse and light dep grows because of the cost of electricity versus the plunging price of weed. That may have changed some as the new LED lights have become viable, IDK....
