And that's when you knew he was "the one"?

(I'm the same way, just a bad habit from working in restaurants where you had to eat fast because you never knew when you'd get a chance to get a real break to eat)

I already have 2 dogs but that German Shepherd would be such a great addition. Someone adopt Pawkie, he looks like a sweet dude.

Alright, I apologize for not having enough information. I love the picture . Missing the PNW.

Please, support the shelters. There are critters needing homes and homes with people who need critters. Think of it as an OLD where they want to come home with you, you want them, and they don't leave.

Wildflower season is very brief in the high alpine meadows. A week can make a big difference and it really depends on when the last bit of snow melts. Late July could be great or a bit early but after Labor day is definitely too late.

Thanks so much for the info- I totally didn't know this.

I have Verizon & did not have much coverage. I stayed at kalaloch lodge and did not have any service while I was there

But we all know MSFT stole windows from Apple...

I do really like that point on intruding on the solitude others went out there to find. Something I didn't mention was I would be going there in a January and at latest a February specifically because it's least busy around that time of year. I know it will be cold, muddy, rainy, and some roads will probably be closed due to weather hazards. Don't care, I LOVE the rain, the mist, the clouds, and the fog, and love the isolation/emptiness of places. When I drove through Olympic National Park three years ago in February, stopping in Forks and going to Ruby and Rialto Beach all in one day, although the cold, soggy ground, and road closures weren't nice, I still loved it so much I'd go back there around the same time. And I didn't even get to see Hoh because road closures and was just walking on the basically empty beaches in my vans. And I didn't plan on hiking the whole time while talking on the phone or just looking at my phone screen. I was interested in where coverage spots might be so I could hike and see everything first, then explore around those coverage spots, and if I happen to find a spot that I particularly think is beautiful, I planned to rest there in a beautiful spot to make a phone call or two surrounded by nature and an environment I truly loved, all while nobody or basically nobody is around for miles. I loved that part when I also went to Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park in northern California later in this same trip and hiked, found the most gorgeous places on the planet and encountered at absolute most four, if not more like two or three other people over a near seven mile hiking trail. Zero phone coverage as well, just this time when I go back I was thinking I'd truly like the option to be able to call should I want, otherwise the environment of these places always outshines anything you could see on your phone.

I would strongly advise going to Forks if you're an LGBTQ+ couple. It's a really dangerous place for LGBTQ+ and PoC, and generally most businesses there would be intolerant.

If you really want to go to the area, maybe consider booking a photographer from Seattle and taking photos in LaPush. As a LGBTQ+ woman of color who lived in Forks, do not support the town or their businesses.

This was down at Frank's but pretty much same view

Thank you! It was way better in person

Yup just toss it in your backpack for a few days. It’s refreshing.

I have T-Mobile, and no coverage in the Hoh. I have to get back to 101 before I have coverage again. Also no coverage in La Push. Again once I get back on the 101 from La Push, it picks back up. Forks is the only are with signal. I personally really enjoy going off the grid when I go out there. I just take a good book and also enjoy nature.

And?

Exactly this happened to me. UW is great, but if you don't have a 4.0 in all your math classes up through calculus, forget about comp science there. My roommate got a degree in electrical engineering and landed a job at T-mobile though, so there's always options. Go Dawgs!

Thanks! I'll be sure to check them out

UW grad here. I had friends who went to UW with me (about 10 years ago) specifically for computer science, and then literally couldn't get into the program because it was so competitive.

So. Just because you go to the state's "good" computer science school doesn't mean you'll get into the program.

Go to WSU. See if you like the program. If not, try to transfer. Either way, make sure you take advantage of any internships, etc. In my experience, they're the best pathway to a career after college, regardless of the field.

Early in our relationship my now-husband and I hiked Granite Peak and then stopped at XXX on the way home for post-hike meal.

He ordered the giant burger, I ordered a veggie burger and a milkshake.

After we got our meals, I took a sip of my milkshake, put some mayo and ketchup on my burger, removed the onions, reassembled the burger and as I took my first bite I looked up and saw the giant burger was gone.

...and why would you? No reason to do that to yourself.

They're mostly women.

I dig the sky for sure.

Not much coverage when I went last summer, used Verizon. On some of the beaches on the north side, your phone starts picking up signal from Canada and you get a text about international data usage.

Why would someone do this to themselves?
