4) You use the term "sun break" and know what it means.

5) You open the windows in the summer to let the warm air in.

6) Your Early Girl tomatoes ripen in September.

7) Names like Point No Point, Useless Bay, Deception Pass, Destruction Island and Friday Harbor don't phase you.

8) You feel guilty throwing out paper or aluminum cans.

9) To you, if it doesn't have snow or hasn't erupted recently, it is not a real mountain.

10) You know more people who own a boat than own an air conditioner.

11) You will stand on a deserted corner in the rain and wait for the "Walk" signal.

12) You feel overdressed if you wear a suit to a fancy restaurant.

13) You can order coffee 10 different ways.

14) You can taste the difference between Seattle's Best, Tully's and Starbucks.

16) You never go camping without a poncho and waterproof matches.

17) You know the difference between Coho, Chinook, and Sockeye salmon.

18) You know how to pronounce Puyallup, Sequim, Sekiu, Yakima, Oregon, Wenatchee, Steilacoom, Quileute, Cle Elum and Willamette.

19) You know Forks is not a bunch of eating utensil but a town on the Olympic Peninsula.

20) You can tell the difference between Thai, Japanese and Chinese food.

21) You know that Boring is not a state of mind, but a town in Oregon.

22) You have no concept of humidity without precipitation.

25) You rejoice at a forecast of "rain with sun breaks."

26) You know what "The mountain is out" means.

27) When the temperature gets above 50, you put on your shorts (If you're warm blooded, that is. If you're cold blooded, you wear a sweatshirt all summer.)

28) You can point out at least two volcanoes, even if you can't see through the cloud cover.

29) You think people who use umbrellas are either tourists or wimps (or both).

Ah, but then you don't really wrinkle as you get old, you just kind of mildew :ph34r:

At least I say that about Houston (we're humid here), and it seems to work.

There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown)
