Yeah, I’d modify my original post by saying there is a mix at both the north and the south end, too, with concentrations of left or right as I originally laid out.

Non-rush hour combined with the reality that people stay in their cars these days cause, you know, Covid.

This is the Clinton-Mukilteo run. I don’t know which boat it was.

Hit up Whidbey Island. Most scenic spot after Mt Rainier is Deception Pass at North End of the island. There’s a nice campground at Deception Pass State Park. If the weather is clear you get awesome views of both the Cascade and Olympic mountain ranges, driving up the island, especially from Greenbank Farms, about halfway up the island. This time of year, though it can vary, daytime temps tend to be in the 40s, and no snow. Any supermarket in the region will have a selection of smoked salmon options.

On Whidbey Island, the southern part of the island around Langley is very liberal, the north part around Oak Harbor, very conservative. Oak Harbor is a Navy town. Culturally, saying you’re from either North or South Whidbey pegs you as liberal or conservative, generally speaking.
