What Nobody Tells You About Leaving Washington

Washington state is the best place to live of all 50 states. I know, I'm biased because I'm from Washington state, but I've also lived in other states before moving back here.

When you leave the state and tell people where you're from, you might get questions or statements that get on your nerves. Other times it takes you moving out of the state to realize not everyone is into the same stuff that only we, as Washingtonians, would get. Movoto has a list of 30 Things No One Tells You About Leaving Washington. Here's a few of them. See if you can relate.

The First Thing People Will Ask Is, “Oh, D.C.?”

This is why I always say Washington state and not just Washington.

People Think There’s Only One Kind Of Salmon

Chinook, Sockeye and so many more. Yes. There is more than one kind of salmon.

Everyone Asks Ex-Washingtonians If They Left Because Of All The Rain

I got this a few times. It doesn't rain as much on our side as the west side of the state. They, for the most part, didn't know Washington had a split down the Cascades from where it's rainy to where it's desert.

Flying Home Will Never Look So Good

When your plane trip flies you over the Mount St. Helens site, or flies past Mount Rainier -- that view doesn't get any finer.

Everyone Thinks The Entire State Is A Hippie Liberal Utopia

Nice try, but not quite.
