It's true.

I love this. Is it the snake river on the bottom?

I grew up in Eastern WA. Making a claim that the basin extends all the way to Wyoming is likely to get you into a fight with one of the locals…

Edit: you idiots realize I’m making a comment about people in the Tri Cities and not expressing my own personal beliefs here right?

It's such a beautiful shape!

Named because sailing ships would think they were heading up the big columbian river but Instead they were headed into Cape disappointment if you didn’t know where the lighthouse was supposed to be

That's just unsanitary.

We honeymooned near there. It really wasn't all that disappointing.

All good. Still a compelling image of an iconic location!

Yeah....I would say you're correct. My bad and thanks for the education!

Great shot! But what I’m pretty sure that’s North Head Light, not Cape Disappointment.

Man, I don’t know what to tell you except that’s not my experience and I’ve driven around the country and around the world.

Relatable.

Folks are in Grant and they said it's snowing very hard now!

The last place you want to kiss the pacific northwest is directly on its Idaho.

That’s awesome that you did that! I am in Bellingham now. Plenty of mountain views here too, but the Olympics over the water is just really amazing to me. Lots of great memories of hiking, climbing and drinking beer around a fire in those mountains might also add to it for me. Hope you can get out as much as possible and enjoy these place as much as I have.

I really appreciate it, thank you. I didn't grow up here but the first time I came here, I knew I had to live here. Zero regrets changing careers in order to make that happen. Where are you now if you're missing the views?

This was taken in the northern most point of Kitsap County in Hansville.

Used to have a spec e36 3er id take down to Kent for track days but I sold it some years ago. Now Ive got the E92, a NB miata im in the process of turning into a track car, and my trusty 2nd gen Tacoma for mountain purposes (and when my BMW breaks down lol)

I've heard very good things about the Michelins. Pretty hard to shop for winter shoes since they're a bit overkill for normal usage in Western WA but absolutely essential for crossing the passes. Ive generally stuck to blizzaks on my taco but I need a new set next year anyway, maybe Ill try these

Oh my, where was this taken?

What’s your stable? I have an E36 3/4/5 that doesn’t see much winter duty bc I can always take the Jeep.

But for years before we had two cars I took an E39 540i/6 with winter tires to the passes a dozen times a year for skiing.

Also fwiw I found that Michelin IceX ix3s offer like 95% the snow/ice performance or a blizzack and way better comfort/road noise/handling on cold dry roads.

Grant counties been getting it as well! Not too bad though

haha blizzaks or not Im way too scared to take my baby out when it snows. Even if I get through ok always the chance someone brakes far too late and wipes me out
