Your location is going to drastically affect the price you pay for land clearing. What part of the state are you in? How accessible is the lot? What’s the terrain of the lot like? I agree that your bid sounds high but not knowing any details makes it impossible to know. I would suspect, as you do, that there are people that would do it for a lot less.

Got it. No wonder why my tractor won't start.

No they're all diesel engines.

Oh, they don't?

Problem- too many cars on the road at once. Cause- rush hour. Don't take it personally. But you might be part of the problem.

This is all garbage trees with shallow roots - alder and cotton. No market value, unfortunately.

I5 in WA is about 275 miles long, but I'm guessing you're looking at Seattle or Tacoma. If public transportation is available, look at it. Spending that time reading or sleeping isn't horrible.

WSDOT has a good website and tons of information about whatever projects are going on. They're also pretty responsive on Twitter and Facebook, but you have to do some reading work first, they get zillions of "how do I make my life better" posts, but they tend to answer specific questions.

A lot of things bother me in terms of the government lacking but regardless of that I think drunk driving is not excusable. This whole thread is people talking about how public transportation is the reason people drive drunk but I think it’s lack of education. Only stupid people drink and drive :)

There's a lot of heavey machinery that goes into clearing up a site and those machines dont run on hopes and dreams....

It all depends of the land and specifics but that seems very high. Land with good timber on it can actually bring $$ in as income but again, it depends on so many things

OK

Any National Forest lands.

Grand view has a mini beach after heavy rain

Try Chito Beach Resort. Most of the cabins are in the $200-$250 range, I think only the biggest cabin is about $300.

I just ran into this yesterday while putting my new WA plates on my car. Plate with the tabs goes on the back, plate w/o goes on the front. Getting your license and registering your car are waaay easier here than in Idaho. Cheers

From the Boston area, have been living in western washington for 3.5 years. Prefer Washington for the weather for sure, people are friendlier. Boston has much better food, can't compare seafood because it's not even close.. New England has the best seafood hands down. Washington has much better landscape. Overall I have 0 desire to go back to Boston. I much prefer west coast living.

Why, because people have to get home from work? How is that a problem???

Just think it is important to keep the conversation honest.

Ah yes. Only make it legal if big pharma gets to continue to exploit peoe with depression and PTSD. So long as big daddy D gets to control what grows naturally in the ground. Right?

Does it bother you that there are dangerous drunk drivers on the road? And that in a lot of places, public transportation would take some of them off the road, but it isn’t there?

North Cascades NP, Olympic NP, Mount Rainer, the Columbia River, the Palouse, the Nisqually wildlife refuge, Cycling on the San Juan islands, the tulips in the Skagit Valley, the rhododendrons that bloom in my yard, skiing at Mission Ridge, and the low key western people. I left out cross country skiing in Winthrop/Mazama. Also up there the chance for profoundly dark skies and the profound quiet!

Indeed, tame enough you can walk faster than driving most days

It is when rush hour gets bad enough.

Excellent movie. I highly recommend checking it out. And then watching "Have a Good Trip" which is a terrific documentary asking famous people about their experiences with psychedelics.

For Fantastic Fungi I love how they talk in depth about mycelium and it isn't until the tail end of the movie that they bring up the positive uses for psilocybin. Draw in all the nay sayers with other scientific facts linked to fungus. And then hit em with the dirty truth they don't want to hear.
