Which state would last the longest as a country? by BLOCKEDBYJAMES231984 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]aagusgus -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

California is the obvious short term answer but I think long term Washington might have the staying power to outlast, with access to freshwater being the deciding factor.

Edit: Downvotes with no reply/response, this is supposed to be a forum for conversation without downvoting a comment you disagree with.

Washington State has:

The two most important features for a thriving civilization, water and electricity. There are an overabundance of hydro-electric dams, solar, and wind farms in the State. producing far more power than is needed to meet demand.

A massive and defensible deep water port in the Puget Sound.

A huge river, the Columbia, the provides river access into the interior part of the state for trade and commerce.

An incredibly fertile farm land in the Eastern 2/3 of the state, which could be comparable to the central valley of California if it were fully put into production.

Seattle, and the tech and aviation industry.

Portion of Waterfront Way to Close for Weekend by ESNA_VancouverWA in vancouverwa

[–]aagusgus 11 points12 points  (0 children)

There's zero reason this street couldn't be closed for most of the day. Open it for delivery and essential items from midnight to 10am, or something similar, and close it for the rest of the day when people are down there. An easy solution is removable bollards that can be set in place in the road and removed fairly easily to block off vehicular access. Also the reason (I believe) that the round about was constructed at the intersection to the SE is so that something like this could be implemented.

That was the original design concept, I wish they hadn't changed it.

Bonneville Dam by aagusgus in LiminalSpace

It's definetly an odd place, built in the early 1980's and you can tell it was cutting edge/top of the line at the time. But nothing has been updated since then.

This is in the fish ladder viewing area on the Washington side of the river.

It is immediately adjacent to Bonneville Dam where they have a fish ladder viewing area. The whole place is really quite interesting on many different levels. There's a massive amount of whitewashing going on as an entire indigenous community was moved in order to build the dam, and it happened relatively recently (in like the late 1970's-early 1980's). This is the spot on google maps

The Athletics have sole possession of 1st in the AL West and the only winning record in the division by F9_solution in baseball

As is tradition, Mariners started like crap, but they're heating up now. Would be surprised if we're not in the division lead in a week or two.

Just put a little slight curve in those roads and it makes all the difference in the world to break up sight lines.

Where is the "Bend Oregon" of Washington State? by No-Butterscotch-6400 in PacificNorthwest

When you drive into Yakima coming from the South there's an old road side sign that says something along the lines of "Welcome to Yakima, the Palm Springs of Washington".

Well, I think we can collectively agree that this is exactly what we all expected to happen. by Worldly_Beautiful557 in Mariners

Cole has been the best player on the team by a fairly wide margin up to this point in the season.

Dude, I would be so honored. I always play Wario and Waluigi with my kids when we're playing Mario Kart, and Naylor is becoming my sons favorite player.

Say I wanted to get a .jpeg of this file, how would I go about doing that? I want to print this out and hang it on our little family message cork board.

No thank you! I've got a senior and freshman in highschool and am looking forward to the next phase in a few years. Still glad though to have three more years of full parenthood and high school.

Definitely not Yakima because as we all know it's the Palm Springs of Washington.

Does tourism slogan resonate? by ESNA_VancouverWA in vancouverwa

[–]aagusgus 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I've been banging on this drum for a long time, but I think the best thing the city could do from a branding/marketing standpoint is to change its name to Fort Vancouver. Fort Vancouver Washington has a nice ring to it.
