That was my first thought when seeing the photo

Abso-fucking-lutely . And it’s not because you own guns…I do too…but it’s because of what you say. Very typical rightwing .

Lower elevation hikes are great in the winter. Check out the many trails in Issaquah, Bellevue, and Redmond area. The Bus trail in Issaquah is a nice flat one in the forest with an old abandoned bus. Coal Creek Falls is also a good winter hike.

I don’t ski, what’s OP doing wrong?

Mountlake terrace/shoreline bout 20 minutes from downtown without traffic 10-15 from northgate

As others have stated, please do not trample onto the wildflower meadows. It destroys the very fragile meadow and takes a long time to grow back. Stay on established trails.

Edit: it seems the couple in the photo is actually on trail. Regardless, my point still stands.

Is it possible to elope with 6-months’ notice?

I heard at least two shooters, and they tried to later say those were echoes. They were definitely not, because the police on the scanner were communicating that they had literally identified a second shooter. People that were there said they were rained down bullets on from all directions. I still don’t know motive but there are a lot of theories about MKuktra, how was this older dude in great enough shape to wield weapons like this for long periods and switch every time he was out? How did he get them into the hotel room with no one seeing? There’s other theories about arms deals going sideways. I’m not sure what I agree with but nothing about it make sense and it fucking made me so sad that my friends and people in Vegas don’t have answers and probably never will. Doesn’t help that so many witnesses have disappeared. It was just swept under the rug so poorly

What’s your definition of more affordable?

So you are happy to pass judgement on someone knowing 1 thing about them? What would you say to me if I made similar assumptions about you? Seems pretty narrow minded but at least you are consistent.

Years later and we don’t know anything about the shooters motives. I check every once in awhile and still cannot understand from reading any motive. What have you heard or guess it was?

What makes you think it is a conspiracy to cover it up or that it was faked or staged in some manner?

Don't be one of those selfish pricks who trample the flowers, as influencers and others eager for selfies and pictures of themselves do in places like Antelope Valley California Poppy Reserve during bloom. It's heinous and vile. Show some respect please. Stay on paths.

Saying this on account of the picture you posted, which shows a selfish couple trampling wildflowers just for a pretty picture.

Check Olympia and Bellingham out. Port Townsend is pretty rad as well.

By their nature small towns aren’t very progressive. You’re not going to be anywhere near Seattle before you hit an actual small town either.

I would recommend coming here and really scoping out the area. I don’t know your financial situation but strongly urge you to make sure you have things like a job, housing, and transportation lined up before you get here. It’s a high cost of living area and people move here on a wing and a prayer, and many wind up homeless. I’m a Social Worker and have seen it happen way too often.

Just my personal experience but Bellingham and Olympia might have the vibes you’re looking for, but they aren’t close to Seattle. I went to school in Bellingham and spent time going to see independent movies, concerts, hiking, and lots of other stuff.

Earlier the better, but by July you’re already past peak bloom and there’s also stuff that blooms in September.

Whichever you do please say on trails and don’t trample wildflowers for a photo op.

Of course you’re the responding the way you are. Too predictable mr. Guns

Large enough that it has like, a theatre or an arcade or something lol, I grew up in a town of 30,000 so I'd say that's my limit

As is most of the world, sadly

Port Townsend would be the most progressive but it's not close to Seattle. As you go beyond the Seattle burbs, the small towns tend to be conservative.

Bremerton is still on alternate one-boat service, which really sucks because if you miss one, you are 2 hours out from the next one.
