Sequim, Washington (pronounced 'squim',) is located in the “rain shadow” and averages over 300 days a year with at least some sunshine. With the Olympic Mountains as protection, the area only gets 16 inches of annual rainfall. Another method some use, daylights: Carex-Day-Light-Classic-Plus-Bright-Light-Therapy-Lamp-10-000-LUX-Sun-Lamp-Mood-Light. Or equivalent. One can also buy full spectrum LED bulbs to replace all the lights in the house, taking vitamin D helps as well.

Yes folks, the Olympics, Washington State has two mountain ranges. Also, in case one didn't know: a rain forest, Puget Sound, which has the largest octopus than anywhere else on earth, 4 mountains above 10, 000 ft, the Columbia river, which is the largest river by discharge flowing into the Pacific from the Americas, long beach, which is the longest beach in the U S and third largest in the world, and the birthplace of my friend Scott - the end.

If you take the percentage of space these three countries represent and remove it from a soccer ball you can't play the game very well. But to be accurate, the U S is and has been using the metric system in industry, all branches of the military, and science, etc. for many a year.

Not all of it

The Columbia river is a world famous windsurfing mecca for a reason

It's the way the world is going. Why? Because it is the only thing that makes sense.

Yes, I don't get that either. When I was in my early 20s I woke up to the odious effects of my laziness, so easy to just drop it out the window. But as a mature adult (mostly ha ha) I could never litter. Also, pick up after my dog, and unfortunately after other people's as well on occasion. What is it with us? Scandanavian countries, Germany, etc. don't have this problem, Japan is virtually literless.

We are, one can only hope that people continue to show it respect. Seems like so many car commercials show how wonderful it is to four wheel it blasting into the wilderness throwing up dirt and drifting to a stop at a spectacular overlook.

He will rise again after a time, and when this happens he has chosen to rise as flies.

Yes, Ellensburg, but I never said don't go there, only gave a facetious warning to people of color. Wasn't my wife, her brother was driving and I was the passenger in a private parking lot and police pulled us over and stuck him in the back of the police car for twenty minutes, they never said a word to me. I asked him what was going on and he said happens often, let's just go. So we did, but he didn't look happy and his face was very red.

Well said. But, those bad apples are the ones that are aggressive to people of color, the whites in the community may rarely see it, because they are not the target. I (w m) Lived in a small town with my wife of Latino descent, the white friends we made there were appalled and surprised to hear of the bigoted things experienced by my wife. To list them in detail would take much time.

Have most certainly had first hand experience there, but things change. But low? Rabid racial prejudice is low, my friend, not speaking out against it.

Just make sure you are white in Ellensburg.

Right, not being a native I know not all the tribal names for things

Mount Rainier (/reɪˈnɪər/), also known as Tahoma, is a large active stratovolcano in the Cascade Range of the Pacific Northwest. The mountain is located in Mount Rainier National Park about 59 miles (95 km) south-southeast of Seattle.

Actually it's Tahoma

Lots of snow pack for summer water in creeks and rivers.

Cougars, but not usually attack humans, bears, yes, but also usually don't attack humans. Worst thing you might get into are hornet nests, lots of those active in spring/summer throughout the woods, no poisonous snakes around here. I suppose one could run across a pack of coyotes but they mostly come out after dark.
