Pacific Northwest....anybody else?

I know that Generation Why and myself live up here with the rest of the crazies from the leftwing version of Animal House but who else lives up here?

Is this some veiled attempt at "bash the NW thread"?

I'll play...if I want to feel like I've completely given up on life and need someplace to go and blow my brains out without having to reconsider that course of action, I will move to the NW.

Some states pride themselves with their beer consumption per capita, I have to wonder how many psych drugs per capita in the northwest.

Not going to "bash" the NW either ...

But, being a resident of the mountains of North Georgia ...

Even 'though I took the circuitous route via Guilford, England ~ Toronto, Canada ~ Los Angeles, Cinci ~ Houston ~ Dallas ~ SW Florida ~ and Murphy, NC. ... to finally get here ...

I'll stick to my "Bible & Guns" and enjoy living here in the south, thanks!

No insult intended for those in here that do live there. In fact, sympathy is being sent your way. ...

I used to live near Seattle. The other side of the bridge. Lived in Bellevue, Kirkland, Redmond and Duvall at one time or another over many years. Worked at Providence Hospital several years. Oh, and I was in Tacoma for a little while. I was there (in Kirkland) when Mt St Helens blew her top. Luv all that part of the country from N Cal to BC.

What county? I'd love to meet you over a beer (or other adult libation) one time I'm up there. I have a home near Dahlonega that is currently rented...but get up that way often.

As for the Pacific Coast, I'd love to visit one day...I hear that have good coffee? And some famous fish throwing market.

I spent my early to late twenties in the Northwest, about 20 miles north of Seattle. Not the happiest time of my life, but the cool climate, the landscape and restaurants are awesome. I'm originally from southeast Georgia, so there was culture shock, but the rural areas had plenty of redneckiness to make me feel a little less like a fish out of water.

But then came the grunge............

No actually, I was thinking along the lines of a Pacific Northwest meetup like CU oldies used to do. Just wanted to know how many are up here is all....

I spent three years cold and wet in Seattle, Bremerton.
Chartered a trawler out of Anacortes afew years back, and went to Victoria, Friday Harbor, Bellingham, etc.

This guy lives up there, but I don't think he's a member of CU. Just an interesting guy.
