Probably find that in the U.S.National Weather Sercice - Seattle web page. But most cities listed in Wikipedia show a chart with average temps and rain. I think the actual rain is less than what it seems like. For me personally is the overcast skies that's more of an issue, i.e. the lack of sun, not the rain.

No I'm not. I'm not seeing any benefit but a whole lot of cost. We are doing just fine with imports/exports and tourism.

I have only seen cookbooks using grams so thats why I mentioned it. So new metric measurements would also require me to buy all that stuff again.

Personly I like it. A person shouldn't need 30 reams of paper to prove a person's lack of suitability for a job. Its bad enough employers keep deadbeats on way too long as it is. Too afraid of lawsuits.

It wouldn't. You'd still have to abide by federal law.

Tri-cities has quite a few displaced Montanans over the years. Once they complete college they come on down either here or Spokane.

Come on out. I'm in a light red county in Washington but still light years ahead of the south and Midwest. (Our state's prettier too 🙂)

A visitor is not going to be buying meat at a grocery store, they are going to be eating out. And if they for some reason were buying groceries they are going to be more concerned about the currency conversion than the unit of measure. Come on. I mean what benefit is there really?

I tell you what, I surely don't want to cook by measuring out ingredients with a scale in grams vs teaspoons and cups. What a pain in the ass that would be.

And its way bigger than just kilometers. Think of lumber for example. Every sawmill has to be retooled to cut in meters and centimeters instead of feet and inches. Everything that is used to measure, everything we build from wood would change in size which may or may not fit where it is needing to be built. This one industry alone would see huge costs which would be passed down to the consumer.

Lol you don't know much about Washington. The country's biggest retailer (Amazon) is headquartered here. Our agricultural products are shipped all over the country. We supply most of the country's hops for beer. We supply most of the country's passenger jets from Boeing. We run everyone's computers with Microsoft products. I could go on and on. We gained a million new residents since the last census!! The rest of the country is pretty much aware of us.

The problem is the cost of every factory (in the u.s.) having to retool to different measurements. Every gas pump would have to be recalibrated to liters. Car odometers and speedometers would be useless and have to be replaced. Every mile marker and mileage sign and speed limit sign would have to be replaced.. on and on and on. And this cost will flow down to the consumer. Things are expensive enough already.

A convoluted way of saying the poor will die of their ailments because they can't afford medicine.

We have a great community college in Pasco (Tri-Cities), Columbia Basin College. Branch campus of Washington State University just a few miles away, if you want to continue your education. Not sure of rental situation but there are on campus dorms. https://housing.columbiabasin.edu/

Yes they can. But it is fraud to be billed for services you haven't received.

Good luck! We went one year to Ike Kinswa during the week of labor day. Weather was gorgeous and there were only about five other campsites occupied. So quite and peaceful and had the lake totally to ourselves.

May be too late to reserve anything. Personally I stay away from hot spots on holiday weekends. I go in when they all are coming out :-)
That being said, I like Ike Kinswa State Park and Seaquest State Park.

Well upper Columbia is not where there is sage brush. Upper would be above Kettle Falls. You told another person you were south of Crescent bar, so I'm going to guess this is somewhere along SR 243.

Reply to Face masks have a negative impact in our ability to read other people's mental states, and positive emotions were found to be the most affected. by MrWaliah
Most people we interact with are people we already know. So the mask would have no affect because we already know their mood by word choice, inflection, and body language.
