“The Puget Sound megalopolis from Olympia to Everett is a true human hell-hole.”
You nailed it pretty good.
I left 24 year ago after spending twenty plus years at Boeing. I went to a job in Hawaii, the politics are even worse in Hawaii, but I’m in rural Hawaii and they don’t have the money to enforce the shit laws they pass.
I recently re-established legal residency in WA state for tax purposes, but spend most my time at my home with my wife in RURAL Hawaii.
It drove me nuts dealing with the Seattle to Olympia corridor traffic for the short time I ws there doing business.
Full disclosure I’m born and raised in So Cal, learned how to Drive in LA traffic and drove Seattle traffic for over twenty years.
Me too, where else can you get a black belt in driving?
