Let’s all move there! Washington State is beautiful. The best vacation I ever took was in the San Juan Islands.
I used to drive up to the San Juan Islands every other weekend, from Portland, so I got to see a lot of it. I was always running close (in time) to catch the ferry. Sometimes, they would see me driving across the big parking lot and hold the ferry long enough for me to drive on. I remember one time, they just started pulling away, then saw me and stopped. Fortunately they had not really “ pulled away”, but just revved up the engines. They held long enough for me to drive on, and as soon as my back wheels were on ... they were ALREADY pulling away from the dock! All I can say is that was a “smooth move” in how they did that! ... :-) ...
