The exact person we don’t want on the hill.

There are photos from one of the stations of the two men. If they check pings and find profiles (these guys were under watch so the fed knows what they look like) for guys who look like those two men then that seems pretty straight forward.

>domestic terrorism charge.

There's no such thing.

There is no domestic terrorism charge

Interesting, although that is consistent with my experience in the south as well. Both are pronounced “caht “ yeah?

Best Pass Ever.

Have you explored much terrain above tree level? For a burly outing in a beautiful volcanic alpine environment with striking cliffs and sweeping seemingly barren landscapes check out the Observation Rock and Echo Rock areas in late Summer. I have not needed special gear beyond trekking poles and maybe microspikes. Approach via Knapsack Pass for an adventurous long day. Proceed a few hundred feet up the ridge above Observation Rock for incredible views of Rainier's Mowich Face. There are other cool areas like this around Rainier.

Deception Pass and surroundings have unique rocky bald habitats.

A typical one people point out is we pronounce "cot" and "caught" the same.

anything in the high alpine in central washington. lake chelan sawtooths/enchantments/upper entiat. also, southern central washington along the eastern columbia gorge.... coyote wall, klickitat river trail, etc.

also, i very much enjoyed hiking the north coast route on the olympic coast. just so much different than most hikes in washington but still very wild and beautiful

Gems.

Thousands, even. I think humans first discovered roofs sometime in the Neanderthal days.

Southern cross too hard for you?

Sheds have been around for at least hundreds of years.

Only if you live under the flight path. It's LOUD if you do, but the rest of the areas are fine.

Not from WA so I can’t help OP, but am fascinated by this question. Any native WA folks have examples of different patterns of speech up here?

One thing I’ve noticed is more usage of “hella” than I heard in the south, which I believe comes from proximity to Norcal where it originated. Any other examples would be interesting for me to look out for as I go about my life.

Those thoughts are probably why you are committing federal weapons violations that will put you in prison for at least a decade too. I don't know what was going on in their minds, if anything, and I don't want to know.

You know, I feel like there's less complicated ways to rob a pot shop that don't involve potentially catching a domestic terrorism charge.

I understand what you mean. I'm familiar with the western side of the North Cascades and it tends to be pretty homogeneous. Took the Alaska ferry to Juneau and it was beautiful but didn't see a radical change. It was wetter, flora was bigger and the glaciers were lower elevation.

There's a rain shadow from Sequim to Anacortes. Rainfall difference is as much as 26in to 56in in a 10 mile range. A hike across that transition might be pretty interesting. Elwha to Sequim maybe?

Speaking of transitions, I like the hike from Rainy Pass down into Steheiken. You start in mountain forest, ascend to alpine and drop to semi-arid desert in less than 15 miles.

yeah its in maltby

Hike along the beach in the ONP. Timed with the tides, rope ladders up into the woods, little creeks with upland pools. Heading north to mosquito Creek always was one of my favorites. Totally different hike, but Tubal Cain Trail is also awesome

The gravel is to fill in the mass graves at the nearby FEMA camps.

I’m so disappointed in Reddit right now giving a sincere and truthful answer.
