The Emerald Experience.

Ok, so lately i have been missing The Emerald City lately. I saw this on Pinterest, posted by one of my WA friends, and I died laughing because it's so true. Not only that, but people act so differently here. This is for my west coast people!

 

You know you're from Washington state when:

1. You know how to pronounce Sequim, Puyallup, Sammamish, Enumclaw and Issaquah.
2.  

   You consider swimming an indoor sport.
3.  

   You see a person carrying an umbrella and know they must be a tourist.
4.  

   Your lawn is mostly moss and you don't really care.
5.  

   Honking your car is for absolute emergencies.
6.  

   You're extremely picky about your coffee.
7.  

   You rarely wash your car because it's just going to get washed by the rain tomorrow.
8.  

   Northfaces are always in fashion.
9.  

   You take a heavy coat and a hat with you for a day at the beach.
10.  

    Half of your food is organic.
11.  

    You are a full supporter of one of Seattle's sports teams, even though you know they aren't that good.
12.  

    You play the "no you go" at four-way stops.
13.  

    You can tell the difference between Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese, Korean and Thai food.
14.  

    You know what a Dick's Deluxe is.
15.  

    You won't go to Forks because of all the Twilight fans.
16.  

    You will never forgive A-Rod

 

Ok.. let me tell you. I lived in Enumclaw and worked in Puyallup, and it still took me ahile to learn the names haha When I first moved to WA, i pronounced Puyallup, "poo-YALL-up". People used to laugh at me. Alot of people may not understand the umbrella thing either. In Seattle, NO LOCAL USES AN UNMBRELLA. One, its too windy and two, its usually this weird mist that just isnt enough for an umbrella or the wind blows it sideways. lol Hence, the northfaces.

 

Also, I never realized how true the honking thing was. But here in WV, everybody honks for everything! Its strange. And as for coffee, I got so spoiled in Seattle. I worked next to this little coffee stand called "Clancy's". Those girls could make some mean coffee, and it was CHEAP. I loved that place. Here on the east coast, even when you go to a starbucks, its just not the same. They dont "understand" coffee here. When I first moved back to WV, my mom and I were out somewhere and we asked where we could get a good cup of coffee, and a guy told us (enthusiastically) about the great coffee that 7-11 had. BARF. Thats not coffee. Thats warm motor oil.

I wanted to find one for WV, but all I could find were the stupid ones about dating your sister lol.
