Great news!
Many Scandinavians migrated to Western WA for the fishing industry. It feels good dropping an "Oh-ya" every now and then, sure-in-ya-betcha!

I might be one of the few who knows what that means lol. Very cool though. (From a swede finn)

Very true. I’m trying to cast a wide net in areas I like because art jobs are hard to come by.

In my opinion, start with where you want to live. I don’t know if you’ll have multiple job offers to choose from in art and CTE.

There is tons of land where you can do dispersed camping. No one’s probably going to give you their coordinates of their favorite spot but if you just buy a Washington Gazetteer look at forest service type roads and figure out who has jurisdiction over land, you can get a good idea of where there might be dispersed camping. You can also view the sites with satellite images and see evidence of dispersed camping.

Having an almost reformed reactive dog, I feel your pain just make sure you have control of your dog because even if you’re dispersed, someone or some thing could come into your camp at any time.

Good Luck!

What about pick-ups per yearly salary!?

If you didn’t want to help Ukraine maybe you shouldn’t have been part of the group of countries (with Russia and the UK) who made Ukraine give up its nukes in exchange of protection (Budapest memorandum) in the first place. Has it never occurred to people like you that when your country inserts itself everywhere that doesn’t only come with benefits but also responsibilities?

Finland has never (and I do mean never, including Marshall Aid) gotten a single penny from the US and we’re not asking for money or even equipment, just partnership.

By the way most Europeans are really grateful to Joe Biden, his government and the gracious people of the US (unlike you) who want to help when asked.

Did you know that the president of Ukraine is a Jewish man whose grandfather was killed by Nazis?

Are we Finnished yet?

By reactive, you mean just barking at things? Or displaying aggression toward humans or other critters? There are no public places where aggressive behavior is socially acceptable. That being said, just take your dog wherever you go, and use the opportunity to become the alpha parent. Training is everything.

UP of Michigan too for sure. Heck they even have Suomi College. Am Finn-American with a large Finnish family from MN, WI, MI. Didn’t know about Astoria either I’ll need to look more into that!

Agree! I love living here

Boobies!

You idiot. Finland rates higher than the U.S. on most every meaningful measure of a developed country. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/04/20/world/europe/world-happiness-report-ranking.html?unlocked_article_code=gbs_Z9gBKEdc0tHOCyeQb5LpEHDD2Gvb7Nw42rAPmcGfl3-RDXMBS4-KgrdXrqXrxT3GVhgY81HV617ac4BFgvIMgsq9xWfaoVBYf6Q-THaNC2I2yUm3ehUz-hc9xGzrf7OLRufbMJyyiw5V38afSdqBwBxBrKShX6cap5e5OVxWJIvH-CH2CEBEz7ETo-x750sVTAgeLCgCjCUHn3-rFKBkAgY4Q8kJVP1SZSXrG6iWye6bzGrPVodutWH4nv_zo4Z9ipNWYNIiYyq9eQA1FRF3DQygGcgbk9RchowItzAXESA6kjcFz_No9SU5zL5a2L369pdZn2qvsJ9-6M2ZHsnDyns2zFES15jAoQw&smid=url-share

Same with my grandmas side, they spent their time between Astoria and Aberdeen, where they had a cranberry farm just a little ways away in grayland.

Fun fact, my grandmas family name is in the cranberry museum there.

lol what a generalization. what does "giving money to nazis" even mean? are we asking for their ideological affiliation and then handing out wads of cash? are there nazi battalions we fund per accordance of their anti-semitism? are you even operating on any sense of fact? newsflash, these all share the same answer.

at any rate, you could easily apply that to anyone funding any military.

you wanna seem so morally upright but i don't think you actually give a fuck about these things or you'd bring up the wretched domestic abuse laws in Russia, or the rampant anti-semitism in Russian media (read: the ukrainian president is Jewish).

bitches will act like they have standards and meanwhile run implicit defense for fascistic causes, lmfao.

"uuhh m'kay, as long as you don't give money to duh nawzis" as if dude, as if

Mammatus cloud

>Mammatus (also called mamma or mammatocumulus, meaning "mammary cloud") is a cellular pattern of pouches hanging underneath the base of a cloud, typically a cumulonimbus raincloud, although they may be attached to other classes of parent clouds. The name mammatus is derived from the Latin mamma (meaning "udder" or "breast"). According to the WMO International Cloud Atlas, mamma is a cloud supplementary feature rather than a genus, species or variety of cloud. The distinct "lumpy" undersides are formed by cold air sinking down to form the pockets contrary to the puffs of clouds rising through the convection of warm air.

the underbelly of a cloud: Mammatus

Really anything that’s extremely deep in the woods. The unfortunate part is lots of people like shooting out in the boonies. I like going up logging roads to find peace, just beware of wild critters

It's a not-so-well-kept secret. I had the pleasure of talking to 70-something year-old Finnish man at a fundraising lunch at the lodge there that there were so many in the area decades ago (into the 1960s and 1970s) that they still spoke Finnish with each other in everyday life.

Apparently, Astoria had one of the largest populations in the USA outside Minnesota and Wisconsin. Those who haven't passed away have mostly left the area. The same old man complained bitterly about the economic decline and how there is so much poverty and addiction in the area instead.

This is the first i'm hearing of Astoria having a lot of people of Finnish descent.

I think we should worry about the American Nazis.

I think those are called mammatus clouds. Pretty crazy looking.
