Love these vintage signs

Be careful, it's a hell of a rabbit hole.

Ootl. Music?

Hell yeah, that's what's up!!

it's a fun little hike down to the bottom. but the way back up is a big hill!

Grow outdoors, been doing it for 30 years, even developed my own strain for W. Washington. Hell of a lot of work, it is a great hobby. Such diversity working with seed.

There's a lower observation deck and we didn't see anything on how to get to the base. I'm sure there's gotta be a way down there. Could see some signs along the shore down there as you would be approaching the fall

Wow, seems like a lot less water flow than last time I was there (which was during February a few years back)

>It is very common for health providers in wa to have a different time of service rate than if billed later. You may not have signed anything but by billing your insurance, likely signing something to okay that, your chiropractor has a contract with them for the rates they can bill and get paid for. If your insurance doesn’t end up paying it, because of your agreement with your health insurance, you are now liable for that payment. As to the things you were charged for, did you ask the chiro? Something as simple as applying heat can be billed as extra. The chiro has notes on what was performed and should be able explain the extra charges, but it would be good to ask for the explanation of what was billed and why.

Yes I had asked and reviewed each individual statement. For example, the chiropractor never adjusted my lower back and legs but in the time of service it claims they did so for an extra $25 per treatment. I'm not disputing services they actually performed

In concept of “near” yes. It’s about 5 miles from the airport if you head south

I was thinking about swinging by here when I come out in early May. Is this the only vantage point for photography? Almost every shot of the falls I see is from this position. Is there some non-sketchy way to get down to the base?

The music cannot be unheard...

More like they can't find too many people who want to work for them and their turn-over rate is increasing.

I get your theory there but it just doesn’t pan out in practice. There are many healthcare networks that don’t test nurses and they all contract with Medicare and CMS. It seems the test or not to test is purely due to organizational preference.

>It’s legal now.

No, it's not. It's still illegal per federal law. You are violating federal law each time you use cannabis. A better way of putting it is that you don't risk criminal penalties for using it, but that doesn't make it legal.

Granted, the vast majority of people in WA couldn't (and really don't need to) give two shits, because the discrepancy between federal and state laws doesn't affect their daily lives.

I know it sounds like I'm splitting hairs now. But for those of us who work in compliance for federally funded institutions, we get a lot of people who misunderstand these nuances because of blanket statements like that.

I'm not saying things should be this way (in fact, I'm a strong proponent of federal legalization, and once I quit my job I'll probably partake), but they currently are, and it's misinformation to say otherwise.

That’s crazy. I just had this discussion with our director of Human Resources and it’s because we accept federal funding. Perhaps it’s our abundance of caution but everyone in the room knows it may be causing additional strain on finding good employees.

But the policy is likely because of Medicare. I talked with the head of our Human Resources department about it specifically and it’s because we accept federal funds as a hospital. Now the place I work is in Oregon and I haven’t looked into OHAs stance on the matter but would assume it follows Oregon laws regarding marijuana.

That’s it then, more safety related positions will them and require people not partake.

I’ve never been to any provider who didn’t charge less for cash paying clients.

My first and favorite low key hike in Washington (coming from the east coast) - so beautiful!

Twin Peaks ..ha! Incredible show, so wonderfully quirky.

Most important, it made me aware of this beautiful place. Truly beautiful falls ❤️.

Very nice

Won't be enacted until 1/2024 but still it's good our government is doing things that make sense. To the other side of the argument, they can still fire you for being high at work and you have to be legit enough to pass a interview so I'd imagine you'd have functional smokers applying and holding jobs in 2024.
