For those in Washington State:

[Aristus]

You're really a Washingtonian if:

You can tell the tourists by their umbrellas.

You know how to pronounce geoduck.

You know what a geoduck IS.

You wash your car in the rain, while wearing a bathing suit.

You love the Mariners when they're winning, and despise them when they're losing. Being a fair weather fan is the only fair weather we get.

You won't claim to be a Husky or a Cougar because you want to "stay above the fray".

Complain "Oh MAN, this HEAT!" when it gets above 65 degrees F.

Actually think the Tacoma Yacht Club is "posh".

Drive up to Mt. Rainier in the summertime to have snowball fights.

You think Tony Ventrella's act never gets old.

You've visited the observation deck of the Space Needle, but refused to spit over the side. "C'mon, man! That's for tourists!"

You'll voluntarily drive twenty miles or more to check out a rumour of "good Chinese buffet".

You still say to yourself: "Well, maybe this Friday, I-5 won't be so packed!"

You can pronounce 'Puyallup' right on the first try.

You claim The Puyallup Fair is "lame", but you go every year anyway.

You save all your Canadian coins because, "we'll be going again soon, we'll need 'em."

You think we should cede Spokane to Idaho.

You throw a rock in Federal Way, just to see if that "without hitting a church" thing is true.

You say "The rain keeps the Californians away" to a Californian.

You save these jokes and share them with other Washingtonians.

2. Should have posted this in the Washington folder

Here's another Seattle classic "blurb"

West Seattle is south. There's no bell in Belltown. The trees on Magnolia Bluff are madronas. Green Lake is green only in algae season. There's no beacon on Beacon Hill. Blue Ridge is mostly green and brown. Windermere has "winders" but no mere.

Sand Point is grassy. Capitol Hill has no capitol. There are no royalty on King Street, Queen Anne Hill or Crown Hill. There are no pioneers in Pioneer Square. Where are the cherries on Cherry Street or Cherry Hill?

White Center is pretty gray. Green River isn't very green. There's no lake in Lake City. There's no echo in Echo Lake. Shoreline doesn't have a shore line. There's neither a lake nor a mount in Mountlake. Skid row is non-skid.

There are no pikes on Pike Street, olives on Olive Street, unions on Union Street, universities on University Street or pines on Pine Street. Main Street is off the beaten path.

First Avenue is the fourth one up. There are no green woods in Greenwood. There are no wood lawns in Woodlawn. The Highlands are down a slope. Lakeside School isn't near a lake.

3. You forgot

If the moss grows on the north side of your nose.

6. HAHA!

Former Washingtonian for 15 years, and I have never seen this list before, but about 98% right. I am guilty of a few of those myself. :D

7. Kick. C'mon, I know we have more Washingtonians than that.
