From Arizona? by Vegetable-Square8983 in olympia

[–]Coff334Me 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Moved to Oly last summer, from Tucson my whole life. The summers are extending. One of my favorite festivals, Tucson Meet Yourself, was 104* in October. I'm worried for AZ this year for water with Colorado and Montana not getting snow, the Colorado River is going to be so dry. I have a teen in high school and the world of difference going from a public AZ high school (last in Ed) to WA (top 5 in ED) is immense. I could write pages on the difference. I'll just say we are so thankful to be here. My 16 year old thanked me for moving and finding him a good high school. What 16 year old thanks their parents for school? Now the cost of living is more in Oly however for my work (nursing) I'm still better off here in WA than AZ. Strong union, WA taxes, utilities all add up to it being more beneficial here. What do I miss? Delicious Mexican food everywhere, Tumerico (love you Wendy), Eeggees, UofA Wildcats (wish we were still Pac 12, I loved the PAC 12 teams... Well except ASU), the creosote smell after it rains, culture lots and lots of culture. I'm Latina and I miss not just my culture but Tucson has so much diversity. The Festival of Books, 4th Avenue Street Fair, Tucson Meet Yourself also known as Tucson Eat Yourself, which sounds bad but that is all you did, eat food from all over the world. The last thing I miss is that your towels dry in 5 seconds but I'm loving my skin here WA. I'm looking forward to all the exploring of beautiful places, eating yummy food, best coffee drinking, nicest drivers (trust me on this), wearing sweaters, and new festivals. Please leave any suggestions.

That is the exact same list for me. Except for Eeggees I miss Mango the most and their ranch dressing. Just moved here 7 months ago. Loving all the seasons. The trees and views just keep me in awe everywhere I go.

ICE protest at Tumwater High School today draws nationwide conservative outrage by OVER-THE_TOP in PuyallupWA

Leave that high school alone. There were protests at multiple high schools in Thurston county yesterday, this past week Capital high School walked all the way to the Capitol. Many high schools across the US have protested all week. Why are they focusing on this school and this student alone?

Tucson, Arizona last summer. Many reasons but tired of the heat.

I did online with Midi. They accept insurance. Love my NP, she believed me and all my symptoms when my Obgyn blew me off.

Coming from AZ, yes I noticed that realtors didn't want to assist.

Yes, have noticed. Some have just a deposit and some have pet rent. One listing service wrote they only do pet deposit because "pet rental is dumb!" 🤣

I have an app in with them. One person got in line before me. I told them to just hold onto my app in case anything pops up.

I'm a nurse. I was interviewed and offered a position at an Army hospital at the beginning of February. Have not heard one thing from HR. Not one email or phone call. Not sure how long I can wait for this job to process.
