You might be from Washington if...

... Feel guilty throwing aluminum cans or
paper in the trash.

Use the expression "sun break" and know
what it means.

Know more than 10 ways to order coffee.

Know more people who own boats than
air conditioners.

Feel overdressed wearing a suit to a
nice restaurant.

Stand on a deserted corner in the rain
waiting for the "Walk" signal.

Consider that if it has no snow or has not
recently erupted, it's not a real mountain.

Know the difference between Chinook, Coho,
and Sockeye salmon. And that "Hoh" is a river
not a slang term for a women.

Know how to pronounce Sequim, Puyallup,
Issaquah, Oregon, Pysht, and Willamette.

Consider swimming an indoor sport.

Can tell the difference between Japanese,
Chinese, & Thai food.

In winter, go to work in the dark and come home
in the dark-while only working eight-hour days.

Never go camping without waterproof matches
and a poncho.

Are not fazed by "Today's forecast: showers
followed by rain," and
"Tomorrow's forecast: rain followed by showers."

You can't wait for a day with
"showers and sun breaks."

Have no concept of humidity without
precipitation.

Know that Boring is a town in Oregon and
not just a state of mind.

Can point to at least two volcanoes, even if
you can't see through the cloud cover.

Say "the mountain is out" when it's a pretty
day and you can actually see it.

Put on your shorts when the temperature gets above
50, but still wear your hiking boots and parka.

Switch to your sandals when it gets above 60,
but keep the socks on.

Have actually used your mountain bike on a mountain.

Think people who use umbrellas are either
wimps or tourists.

Knew immediately that the view out Frasier's
window was fake.

Buy new sunglasses every year, because you
can't find the old ones after such a long time.

Your idea of fun is standing knee deep in a river,while it's raining or snowing,hoping your hands and fingers aren't frozen solid yet, so you still have a chance at feeling that sutble tap...tap...tap laugh

Have been standing around in the rain so long you don't know what it's like being dry anymore.

Hey, I resent that.....I usually drive in the left lane too, but that's only because I'm usually passing. wink

I don't know where those people learned to drive, frankly, but I'm not claiming them.

How about all the old farts driving in the center lane at about 10 miles under the posted speed.

Standing in 36 degree water, thigh deep, sleet blowing up river in your face, middle of January, wondering what the f*** am I doing here. But can't wait until tomorrow so you can do it again.

You tell your wife that you and a few buddies are going down on the Hoh, and she packs extra cookies in your lunch for the guys.

You actually know a Volcano/Tsunami evacuation route.

You can name 3 species of slugs.

You know exactly what you were doing the instant Mt. St. Helens blew.
