I was just wondering if anyone posts from Washington State. Seems like I see posts from people all over but I haven’t run across anyone who I knew was from Washington State. Probably haven’t been around for long enough. BTW, there is a company called (I think) Evergreen Meats. Not exactly a good use of our state nickname. ---

**sjc** , there’s a bunch of us from Washington, I’m down in Olympia and we have quite a few in the Seattle area. We’ve had a couple of dopefest (yeah, I know, I never make it in person, but I think about going). If more of us don’t come forward, do a search for PNW Dopefest, that should net you the usual cast of characters from this area. There’s also a good bunch of people from the Portland area–hey, maybe we should have a multi-state dopefest in Olympia! We could argue over who has better brewpubs, a better symphony, an easier downtown to navigate, and then settle down and agree on how much better it is here than anywhere else. I like it. I like it so much I might even be tempted to show up!! ---

You’ll find some others, including me, on the excellent [map](http://maps.teemingmillions.com/) put together by several very talented and dedicated dopers. ---

Also check out previous PNW Dopefest and Seattle threads. There’s one now on “What’s Good about Seattle” – and yes, spouse and I are Washingtonians. (Me, born and bred. Yakima to Moses Lake to, now, Seattle.) ---
