You might be from Seattle if you . . . 
Feel guilty throwing an aluminum can in the trash. Use the words "sun breaks" and know what it means. Know more than 10 words to describe a cup of coffee. Obey all traffic laws except "keep right unless passing." Never go camping without waterproof matches and ponchos. Feel overdressed wearing a suit to a nice restaurant. Hear the word "ferry" and think of boats--and long waits. Know more people who own boats than own air conditioners. Stand on a deserted street corner in the rain waiting for the light to change. Know at least eight people who work for either Microsoft or Boeing. Are amazed by an accurate weather forecast. Consider if it doesn't have snow on it or has not recently erupted, regardless of altitude, it is a "hill," not a "mountain". Only honk your car horn if a collision is imminent. Invite twice as many people as you really want to a party since only half will actually show up. Bitch about Californians as you sell your house to one for twice what you paid for it. Consider floating bridges a pain in the ass, not an engineering marvel. Find a wallet with $500 in it, and give it all back to the owner. Know the difference between Chinook, Coho, and sockeye salmon. Know how to pronounce "Sequim," "Puyallup," and "Issaquah." Consider swimming an indoor sport. Can tell the difference between Japanese, Chinese, and Thai food. In winter, go to work in the dark and go home in the dark, but only have an eight-hour day. | |
