☆☆ - Spring Grow-Out Class 2 - Houdini Picture Entries - ☆☆

Mhamilton0911 · Sep 17, 2024

I grew up in the east side of Washington state, in Spokane. I have definitely been all over the west side of the state, including Bellingham, but not much in the last 10 years. I'm sure it has really changed! I know there are loads of reef shops all over so that is a bonus. I love the rainforest-y feel of the mountains over there, so lush and green.

Bald eagles are not where you are? Theys everywhere's here! I live next to a river, and on a usual day, I can see a Bald Eagle perched looking over the water. Wait 'till you see one poop in air. It's like a gallon of white paint poured out. Really gross. Random, I know, but once you see that, its imprinted in the brain.

Nah, just 6 months of rain. It will be odd to casually see bald eagles and whales though. This Wyoming boy isn't used to that.

Yeah, its funny how you will take that for granted after a few years. I still do get a kick out of whales and bears and when I see moose with horns in the city, normally there just cows or its winter and they have fallen off already.
We did air BNB from our house for a couple seasons and I remember how people would be in my driveway chatting to me and saying how epic the view was from my house was

I mean it is a nice view but I live in the middle of the city and you just dont notice the mountain's when they are there every day.

Yep, big scavengers. And jerks that steal others' prey and fish. Known for waiting for an osprey to catch a fish then steal it, since they are so much bigger the osprey gives it up every time. Oh, and they love roadkill. Nothing more majestic than seeing an eagle eating an eyeball.

Also, I cleaned my glass yesterday and should be taking my monthly entry pics today sometime.

They're around here. We're on the water, so we are them every now and again. Growing up it was every 6 months or so, always a big deal.

The mountains were always used to navigate. I'm wy and co they were always west. I haven't seen a rocky mountain since Christmas and it's crazy making.

Lateral in title with potentially more growth opportunities. And much closer to family (in laws though), 2.5 hour drive vs 6 hours of flying plus 2 hours of driving.

In Bellingham, WA

Don’t forget the most important aspect of the move…LFS proximity to the new house

About the only thing I haven't researched. I did see one in the single search I've done, but that's it.
