Still glad I decided to keep my ass to PA. It was bad enough with people driving like idiots here, I didn’t want to deal with a PT or Ludlow today.

And no one would blame you. I just didn’t want to drive there today with all the snow and ice on the road.

Do they not salt the roads as much there? Or the drivers are particularly not great in the snow?

The state does, but I don’t know about PA. Then on top of that PA only has a a few plow drivers right now.

State boys/gals (WSDOT) do great w plowing and salting but they don’t make as much as other city people (i.e City of Seattle, City of Kent, etc.) City of PA I’m not sure but assuming they don’t make as much, resulting in not as much revenue or money to upkeep. But also not as much need to keep roads clear as much smaller population than Seattle etc.

No. It’s just a bunch of the city of Port Angeles plow drivers refused to get vaccinated. So they were let go, resulting in the city having only a few drivers and many streets to clear. They’re having a hard time keeping up with the main streets: 1st, Front, Race, Laurel, Peabody, Lincoln.

The state guys are doing a bang up job of trying to stay up on the plowing out here in the peninsula.

Well I applaud them for sticking their ground and holding their values as a lot of us other folks caved & got the s h n o t. I’ll wait and see what my side effects are in a few years :( kudos to them and respect to the years of knowledge we lost when the old timers left due to the shot.

No their decision was a selfish one. That not only put their families in a tight spot until positions opened up at business that had spots for them, it put more strain on their coworkers. They had a cushy city government position, that had guaranteed benefits. They threw all that away just because they didn’t want to get a vaccine? That’s idiotic!
