Calli, Spokane is also in the Very Very Red half of the state.
I think Katie is closer to Yakima than Spokane, but she's still in the Eastern Washington side.
Well some friends of Buffy played a funny joke and they took her stuff and now she wants us to help get it back from her friends who sleep all day and have no tans.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
Isn't Katie in the general Spokane area?
I'm in central Washington, Spokane's all the way on the eastern border. But we're both in Eastern Washington, so there are similarities. I've only been there a few times, so I can't really say what it's like to live there, other than that it's a fairly culturally conservative area. Pretty country, though, and a nice (if not terribly big) downtown. Four seasons (hot and dry in the summer--expect 90s).
Stephanie's right--it's the West, not the Northwest, in a lot of ways. It's probably got more in common with, say, Denver, than it does with Seattle.

Wait, didn't NoiseDesign live in Spokane for a while? Or am I thinking of someone else?

I think he did his undergraduate work there.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oops, sorry. If it's any consolation, I do the same thing with MA, and I'm from there. "What, not on the coast? Must be all the way on the other side!"

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Well, until someone else steps up to claim Spokane (not it!), you have to represent.

Oh dear. That's something I'm hoping to get further away from, not closer to. Oh, well. It's very good to know. Thanks!

I'm trying to decide if former-star-wars who also was an engineer is worse than a dude with a heavy beancounter rep. I know nothing about this guy, so the fact that radio mentioned him primarily as engineer before manager made me a wee bit hopeful. Gonna have to talk to my dad. He's still really really bitter that they are calling the next big space telescope Webb after an administrator (insert his ickptooi here) rather than oh, I dunno, an astronomer (which is the general accepted thing. When it isn't a geographic name.) He's kinda opinionated on the subject, what with spending nearly a year coming up with an acceptable name for the 3.5 meter on his site.

Heh. No no, that's fine--I don't expect you to remember the fine points of northwestern geography. (I was in my twenties before I realized that yes, SF and LA really were quite a ways apart...)
