What is your Venmo?

Ridgefield is growing like crazy. Check into what's going on there. My SIL just got a damn good warehouse job in a new outfit going in up there, and the Ilani casino is driving up tourism.

I lost my cat last year.

I have nothing to do today and I'm kinda local (Bellingham) dm me a place to meet you and what brand of cat food you need. I'll buy you a smaller size bag of dry food and bring it to you.

Go Husks!!

If you're not looking for work related to your education you could maybe try looking for something in a factory. I always found that kind of work more enjoyable than retail or warehouse work and the pay and opportunities for advancement can be better too. My favorite job I had before I finished college was doing mechanical assembly, it was a but mindless but definitely preferable over dealing with customers all day

Definitely look on NeoGov for state government positions (not all require degrees or specific experience), the vast majority of these and most administrative level positions are based in Thurston county. I work for the state and pass up many opportunities at promotion due to not being able to move up there. Some positions are remote (very few) but most are at least hybrid now (I only go into my field office once a week). Agencies like DSHS and ESD are almost always hiring entry level positions. Starting pay may not be fabulous but the benefits are decent and with the way the pay steps go, I doubled my annual salary in 6 years.

If there's an active NextDoor community in the area seriously post on there, here in Clark County I've seen my neighbors rally to help each other especially with pet supplies. I keep extra cat food, toys, and supplies like beds and litter boxes in my garage since the onset of the pandemic to help my neighbors when they post and I know I am not the only one.

Work for a local government. They pay much better than the state for anything but top-level jobs.

Have you considered a career in 911? They pay really well (at least in the Puget Sound area)and have good to great benefits depending on where you work. The hours suck tho

I take it you haven't been to Pullman

Try an employment agency, maybe? That's what I did after moving back from overseas.

There are plenty of generic office jobs that just want any college degree and some that specifically like employees with teaching experience.

This is Lake Crescent, not Crescent Lake.
