>>1927135The Snake River in Washington, Idaho, and Wyoming is directly tied to the health of the Columbia and Pacific. The removal of four Snake River dams is the top ecological priority for the US side of the PNW. The removal of the dams is actually required by Nez Perce treaty. The Nez Perce of Idaho are culturally linked with the rest of the Columbia Basin. They've been fishing and trading at Celilo Falls for centuries. They never climbed over the rockies to trade with Blackfeet in East Montana. Life on one side of a mountain range is very different from life on the other. That's why Idaho is part of our family and does not belong to the cultures beyond the mountains. Proto-Idaho was integrated into this region. But modern Idaho is the black sheep of the PNW family kek
These fuck ass dams are on the Washington side of the Washington/Idaho border. The dams make life worse for every Ida-hoe and Ida-pimp. Not just the Nez Perce but white Mormons, too. If white-daho joined forces with the Nez Perce, the dams would be gone tomorrow.

What are Seattle/Puget Sound area anons thoughts about the homelessness and crime?
I hate how you can just see groups of homeless people huddled around a bus stop or street corner slumped over from taking horse tranquilizer. Just recently I saw an unconscious guy get dragged out of a train station by security in broad daylight and I knew he was overdosing because they called for narcan. It's so common to get your shit stolen or car broken into as well.
As for tranny shit I just hate how common it is for people to be infected with gendie brainrot so you have to do cringe shit like introduce your pronouns, and I've seen my fair share of ugly-as-sin AGPs in public that would be right at home in the MTF thread. It's also pretty easy to find shitty furry and troon graffiti pasted onto telephone poles if you go to places like cap hill.
>>1927195This was interesting to read, personally I don't think I could ever move out of this state despite its cultural flaws and political nonsense.

In every city in the world, thousands of people do drugs every day. What's the difference between Ewan McGregor in Trainspotting and a heroin addict in Seattle? Ewan was doing heroin inside his shitty flat. And Seattle addicts are doing heroin in the park.
Things that don't stop homelessness:
1. Screaming at city council because you saw a tent in the park
2. Starting a podcast about that time you saw a tent
3. Increasing the police budget
Things that do stop homelessness:
1. Rapidly increasing urban housing supply by putting at least one apartment building on every residential block in the city.
PNW boomer NIMBYs have done everything possible to make sure their precious "urban villages" remain free from apartments. They sperg about homelessness while they actively cause it. The truth is, they love homelessness. They love to see human suffering on the street. It makes them feel alive.

And guess what? Homelessness did not magically disappear because there is still nowhere to live in this fucking city.
SF and Oakland and Seattle and Portland and LA and Phoenix are all exactly the same. The police are overpaid fat schizos with military vehicles and they sweep constantly. And that does not end homelessness. The only thing that will end homelessness is urban housing development.
Texas has no homelessness because they build more housing than any other state. They have no development regulations. You can buy a brand new starter home in a city in Texas for $90,000.
Development regulations are urban liberal bullshit designed to cause homelessness so boomers can feel alive.

Maybe it would work to beat the shit out of street people. But you can't do drugs in jail or in shelters. So even though they "disappear" after getting ass beatings in the city, they're not in jail or shelters. They're in the wilderness. They set up huge camps out there. I don't want them in the woods. That's actually worse than having them in a city park. The best place to have them is in apartments and safe use sites. So PNW cities need to build apartments and safe use sites.
Junkies need a place to shoot up with a nurse nearby who gives them an NA pamphlet. If they don't have access to that, they'll go do drugs in a public library bathroom. Librarians are good samaritans who will help them if they OD. So that's why junkies go there even if they're not homeless. They don't want to die alone in their apartments. But if they have safe use sites, they're more likely to quit using.

The Seattle police budget was increased after 2020, not decreased. Seattle police did not get laid off, they quit. Crime rates have dropped steadily over the last decade. The overall population is larger but crimes per capita is smaller.
SPD refuse to do basic public safety work like traffic safety and responding to calls on time. They will sit and wait 20 minutes before responding. They do this because they're mad at Seattle's population for not sucking their chodes. They gassed the most populated neighborhood in Seattle for a month. They shot pedestrians with rubber bullets and drove tanks through downtown. They maced 8 year olds for no reason. And they're mad we didn't say "thank you."
SPD are notorious corrupt schizos who have been under federal investigation for 20 years. Now they're extorting the city to get housing and daycare benefits on top of the 150k annual salary.
Last year, one of them was going 75 in the middle of downtown and mowed over a woman and killed her. And the first officer on the scene said "it's fine. her life had limited value." Nobody was charged with anything.

That's the only reason tards obsess over crime. They want to say that liberal cities are soft on crime when that couldn't be further from the truth. Seattle has elected three cop mayors in a row. No city government kisses cop ass more than Seattle.
The small towns in Washington are fucking crazy. David Lynch's portrayal of small town Washington is extremely accurate.
If you want to move to Seattle but you're worried about cost, try Shoreline. It's fun if you're a weaboo because Shoreline has a giant Asian import mall. There's also a movie theater that shows old movies for cheap.
Georgetown in south Seattle is a fun inexpensive neighborhood and it's very hip and artsy. But there aren't a ton of troons and zoomers.

>>1927714Mail theft has been a huge problem, at least in my personal experience. It happened at two separate apartments I lived in (one in Vancouver, WA and another in a western suburb of Portland). Both apartments were big, corporate development monstrosities with locked mail boxes and package rooms. The theft problem got so bad that the boxes and package room were shut down for months (at BOTH places) and all the hundreds of tenants had to go to the main leasing office to collect their mail. I can't imagine how irritating that was for the office staff.
I went to university in downtown Portland and there were always homeless people roaming around campus. It was pretty normal to see them inside the buildings rummaging through the recycling bins to collect cans to sell. In fact, it seems like all the libraries in Portland are just fucked. The last time I was at one, the cops had to be called to remove a homeless man who started jerking off in the middle of the room. Like, he didn't even go into the bathroom. Just whipped it out in the center of the room with a bunch of families with their kids and little old women around. The Central Library by Pioneer Courthouse Square (which is basically the town square of Portland) constantly reeks of piss.
Sorry for library sperg, but it's really sad that they are no longer comfy and safe places.
I moved out here from Chicago, IL in 2010. The cost of living at that time was comparable to Chicago, so that wasn't much of a factor. The draw was the weather and the absolutely gorgeous scenery. It really is stunningly beautiful out here. From my living room window i can see a river, tons of trees, and mountains.
It's a shame because Portland was so nice and felt really safe when I first moved here and now I feel uncomfortable being there after dark.
On a separate tangent, shit like pic rel is pretty big out here, which is sad because of how big of an issue the area has with sex trafficking. It just feels like everywhere you look someone is trying to push BDSM and troonery.

When it snows in Portland it’s really irritating because it only happens like once per winter and the whole city shuts down for 1-3 days. I was there for an ice storm in 2021 and it was very pretty but all the local roads were unusable, they only plow and salt major roads and everyone else can eat shit until it melts basically. Kind of unthinkable in other northern cities but the weather is so mild I guess everyone just lives with it for those few days a year.

The best mayor we ever had in my lifetime was the one before those three. He was not a diversity candidate. He was just a straight white male with a whole platform about urban investment.

And guess what?
There's still a housing crisis and a homelessness crisis. Sweeping does not end homelessness and it does not create homes. Herding bums in a circle around the city from one underpass to the next does nothing. All it does is waste tax money. It's a performative parade of misery that makes boomers feel warm and fuzzy inside. But it doesn't actually do shit.
I would love it if cops would actually do something productive all day. I'd like to see them busting traffickers and pulling over sketchy drivers. But they don't do any of that shit anymore. The city gave them permission to devote the entire police force to bullying bums. So that's all they do all day.

I didn't say all small towns are creepy. I said Mining ghost towns that are not on maps but are not completely abandoned are creepy as fuck. I'll take a truly abandoned town over that secret forest cult shit any day.
Washington probably wins for serial murders per capita. Rural cops let some guy kill 100+ trafficked women in the 80s and 90s. And after all that, he's not even the most famous Washington serial killer.
The kidnapping decals I've seen on trucks are the shadow on the back window (
https://www.walmart.com/ip/GROFRY-Wall-Sticker-Horror-Waterproof-PVC-Ghost-Shadow-Blood-Handprint-Halloween-Window-Cling-for-Home/1389167067). There's lots of antisocial trucks out here.
And lastly…
>I don't know anything about Rainier National Park. So I'm going to just guess that trailer park people live thereOkay you're not from Washington. There are no residential trailer parks inside Rainier. There are a few cabin communities that are older than the park boundary. You can't develop any of the wild park land into more cabins. But those old cabins can be bought and sold. Cabin owners pressure each other not to sell to outsiders. The people who live up there are forest people who've been there a long time. They leave gifts for Sasquatch and build fairy towns. And these aren't new age California wackos. These are rural Christian forest wackos. Big difference.
There's so much more I forgot to put on my list of Lynchian things:
-Hanford nuclear site UFO hotspot
-Disembodied feet that wash up onshore
-Dying Twilight economy on the Olympic Peninsula
-Babies in Yakima have an extremely high rate of anencephaly (being born without brains)
-Picrel is the McMillin Mausoleum on San Juan Island. If you don't believe in ghosts, go to San Juan and try to sit at that table.

One more thing I just remembered for the Lynchian list:
-Trump holding a rally in Lynden Washington in 2016. Linden is a border town with 15,000 people in it. And the KKK is also there kek

>>1930875Local junkie tales and local Lynchian tales are two entirely separate genres. Not everything in Washington happens because of junkies. You know those boring people who go "are you high?" when you try to goof around? Junkie sperging is another iteration of that same boring tendency. This thread has been sperging about junkies for days and I wanted to mix it up. But if you want me to go back to junkies, I will. Instead of junkie sperging, I'll tell an actual tale.
I know a woman who stabbed her husband through the chest with a samurai sword. And it was not in rural Washington by the way. This was in Everett. Notice how it's not Lynchian? A junkie tale has a beginning and an end and no mystery whatsoever. It's shocking and flashy and there's a prison sentence. But that's it.

But then there are ratatouille cheese men and barefoot bandits. That's a different level. It sounds like some shit someone would write down while in a meditative flow state. That's what makes it Lynchian.

>>1930948Nope I spent a good 10 years obsessing over the work of david lynch, all of his shit is just women being abused in small towns. Literally all of it. And I'm really not trying to be disrespectful to you or anything here but
>>There are normal squatters. And then there are ratatouille cheese men and barefoot bandits. That's a different level. It sounds like some shit someone would right down while in a meditative flow state. That's what makes it Lynchian.I think the gap that you're having a hard time closing is the fact that its not "lynchian transcendental meditative flow state" stuff it's just the absurdity of real life, and no, David Lynch and his transcendetal meditation MLM did not invent absurdism. Also "barefoot bandits" most homeless guys don't have shoes,
nonnie, because they get stolen off their feet. Most homeless people also steal. This doesn't make them some fantastical John Wayne 'barefoot bandit' figure kek. The exact individuals you mentioned are the regular squatters, and they themselves are unremarkable. You're having a really difficult time comprehending that.

He's a teenage runaway that stole sea planes and jet skis and evaded police for months. He fled police across the entire country. He's not a junkie meth trailer park hobo or whatever boring shit you keep going on about. Barefoot bandit is more impressive than Cheese Man but they both evaded capture for an impressive amount of time. Cheese Man evaded capture while quietly hiding in one place. And BB escaped while loudly racing cross country.

Portland homeless ban is supposed to go into effect next week, and tents/tarps are no longer being sold in any of the camping stores and they’re also not able to be given out by the churches anymore so I guess they’re really trying hard to crack down this summer. I seriously hope they do. I wish we had more police officers but alas all the young men want to be art fags instead of upstanding gentlemen

>>2067494There’s a couple articles about how tent purchasing is just being stopped temporarily not for like the whole summer, they’re probably just trying to get as many of them off the street and in jail/the hospital as possible as quickly as they can before more tourists come in for the season

>>2067491They should do this in Seattle too. People who want a tent for legitimate reasons can go look at it in a showroom and order it online.
Rant but I’m so tired of homeless people scattering trash all around their tents and smoking literal crack next to me on the bus. I didn’t used to be this hateful but I’ve had too many unpleasant and scary encounters. I don’t give a shit if government housing sucks, it should be illegal to live on the street for extended periods of time.
