2. The weather is temperate. In fact, the mean temperature of January, the coldest month, is 45 degrees, only 15 degrees less than the mean temperature of the warmest month, July.

3. The people are friendly, laidback, and helpful.

4. Oregonian drivers are the most courteous in the nation. They will NEVER honk at you unless a collision is inevitable. They stop for pedestrians, even when the light is green.

5. We have the best coffee in America, and probably the most coffee, as well. My hometown of only 20000 has more than 10 coffee shops.

*cough* So does Washington *cough* *cough*

Though, I take NO defense of Starbucks. No one drinks it in Washington anyways, we all go/drink Tully's or our local place. You can bash them all you like, and it makes my heart glad to hear such.

Gwath pretty much said the same for Washington, minus a few details that are essentially different (ex: Active volcano(s), temperate rainforest, etc.).

I was a bit charmed that National Geographic thought Olympic National Park looked like Middle Earth. It does in a way, but like an oversized Fangorn, minus the Ents. So far as I know...


Washington is nice, but I've always felt at home in Alaska and British Columbia too. Both very beautiful places, and amazingly thoughtful people.

No, we do not wear flannel, or all live in trees. Who do think makes your computer software? Hrmm?

Don't worry, I've been there.

Too many times to count, and if anything: I think your taxes spoil you...

Close, minus the shopping on wednesdays.

Though, actually there are a few 'communities' of people who live in trees. It doesn't look as nice as Lorien at all.

It's okay though, I don't think my state is the best or perfect so I'm not going to battle for it. I think Alaska and British Columbia are nice too. The latter is not because people mistake Washington for a district of BC...

NY is the only state that counts.

NY is pretty nice, my friend lives there off and on, but she always calls Washington home.

~ No, I don't live in a tree. Yet. Ka
