About the Washington State category

Discussion for those from Washington State or those who love it.

Why is Washington’s discussion labeled Washington State? It’s just Washington! Like Minnesota is just Minnesota not Minnesota State or South Carolina is just South Carolina not South Carolina state. And don’t give me it’s so it doesn’t get confused with Washington DC…well, call Washington DC what it is…The District Of Columbia (not Washington or Washington DC). Just sayin.

Like why we need GPS, some people do not know geography, even if they have Garmin, TomTom, or Google Maps on their hand. You can call it Upper Left, USA.

I live in Vancouver,WA, not BC and not DC

This one’s been around a while; maybe it’s because when you head east of the Rockies towards the east coast, mentioning you are from Washington. The reply goes something like; “OH, how far from the capital are you?” Or similar reference to the U.S. Capital. In college, where we had kids from all over the country, this was a common reply to hear. (Guess there can’t be that many stupid people… Look towards our state capital for that answer!)

Do we know if/when PSA will update their site to allow WA users to take advantage of the Mag Ban Injuction? No way it will last more than a week with the crazies in Olympia. Hopefully they can expedite this and order processing like they have in the past for other injuctions.

Thanks.
