You went with "Capital Puget" instead of "South Puget Sound," eh?

Tell me you're not from WA without telling me you're not from WA...

Also... It would be Capitol region if they mean that Olympia is there...

This is geographical regions not cultural.

Washington doesn't really have significance cultural differences, they are shaped by population density, the geography of the region, and socioeconomic data

It is kinda funny that most of the biggest mountains in the state are not in your "mountains" region.

It is funny, but I was pointing towards the real areas inbetween east and west Washington, which have mountains but not always the largest mountains

It's not a bad map honestly, the only changes I might make would be to carve the central Washington Valleys out of the mountains region, Ellensburg and Yakima especially. Also I don't think I'd include Lewis County in the South Sound region, I feel like they might fit in better in the south region. Pacific is kinda a toss up, it's not really part of the peninsula, but it may have more in common with that area than the south region, from talking with people out there I get the feeling they always feel kinda left out and forgotten, which is understandable because there are not a whole lot of people that live out there anyway.

Yeah, I'm experimenting with washingtonian communities, trying to draw a map of them. This is kind of a large-scale version of it

What's the purpose of this? East is east, north is north, ... so what? Would you care to add something of significance to your seeming attempt at something relevant or profound?

It's interesting to me. I'm in the East Coast but my favorite family live there. Trying to get to know it.

Just a bit of a meme, anyways, this you?

lred1 t1_iwhl5fl wrote

Yeah, I give, you're so profound. Put some effort into your meme posting and you might not get replies like mine. What is your point? What are you trying to say? Put some effort into engaging your audience.

Who said I wanted to engage an audience, I just expressed my feeling, lol

lred1 t1_iwhmmns wrote

Well, perhaps you should figure out a better way of doing that expressing. It's not the fault of your readership that you are ambiguous in your post.

I sincerely apologize for rhe rudimentary, yet surprisingly difficult to understand, verbage that I inadvertently used. Though, reading back, I am perplexed. Can you tell me which words you did not understand?

TerryJerryMaryHarry OP t1_iwhpc2w wrote

I understood them because you're using a 6th grade vocabulary to sound intelligent, I feel like I'm reading a problem where a middle-schooler had to use vocabulary they used in a sentence 🤣

Edit, don't be a grammar nazi to sound intelligent "because your using" changed to "because you're using" so you can finally coom to good grammar

One thing I learned living in Spokane, everything West of Ellensburg is all just considered Seattle or "the coast" by many here 😂

TerryJerryMaryHarry OP t1_iwhmtxf wrote

Same for the west, everything east of the mountains are "THOSE DAMN REPUBLICANS I HATE THEM THEYRE RUINING OUR STATE" or "The east"

Your were born in Baltimore and moved here three years ago would be my guess. Famous debate refusers come from Baltimore.

So your humble opinion as a Pom about the state is undebatable and you'r 13 years old. Middle schoolers are pretty opinionated I guess.

Math challenged (3/4 of 15 is not 10) and doesn't know that Pommy is mild slander for Brits. Poorly informed and highly opinionated both. Fit right in with American pin heads.

Well if you said pommy I would have got it. And I'm running on like 2 hours of sleep, give me a break instead of acting like a dick

druidsflame t1_iwj4etd wrote

Mountains huh? The top 4 counties in that "region" would be the Okanogan and Pend Oreille regions.

There is such a thing as "Central Washington" look it up.

As for your "East" It is has the Columbia Basin and Palouse regions.

Capital Puget? Why not South Puget?

Lewis County is not a Puget region, it belongs in South West region; as does Pacific County.

​

Maybe have your teachers teach you a little more about the state you moved to before making up names for it and "refusing to debate" about it. TBH it sounds like you're throwing a tantrum online because your teachers did tell you that there was more to the state and you failed their test.

I respectfully disagree. My experience, and it’s just because I’ve lived in a few states, is that there really isn’t that much difference across the state culturally. All the rituals seem common and dissent is dissuaded through socioeconomic policy or construct. Not debating, but possibly stirring.

TerryJerryMaryHarry OP t1_iwhmp9e wrote

Well I believe you'd be right, Washington is pretty uniform in culture as compared to states like Illinois and Texas. But there are some slight differences that result from population density, industries, and wealth.

I'm not sure I'd say texas is a great example lol, I found it to have about the same variation as Washington when i lived there tbh. A state like Pennsylvania might be a better example imo.
