Is this truely how we drive? This is how MOST Seattle drivers drive. *This is NOT a fib its 100% true.
City Morning communte:
Coffee in Right hand, Food in left hand, Cellphone pressed between ear & Shoulder (it dont matter which). Right Elbow messing with sound system or something on that side of car (note: they are not droping a drop of their coffee while doing this) Left elbow Holding up a notebook, pen in mouth writing things down. (Note: they also apply makeup or shave with this elbow)
Sometimes you see a toothbrush attached to steering wheel & the driver using it to brush teeth .
Evening communte:
Coffee in Right hand, food in left hand, Left middle finger sticking out the window (on a nice day) Doing what it does best, Cellphone pressed between ear & shoulder.Right elbow messing with something down on the right side of the car, Left elbow hairbrush brushing hair for hot date.
Ok Weather driving
Rain (you think people that live in washington state will know how to drive in the rain by now but you guest wrong!!!!!) Most drivers around here drive 10-15 Miles BELOW the speed limit * OMG its raining I am scaredddddddddddd*
Sun 10-15 Miles below speed limit *OMG that thing is Bright*
Snow In the ditch
Ice In the ditch
Now for the fun part how do we Washington people give Directions?
How do you think? By Coffee shops or expresso stands. They are everywhere.
Its either that or by stuff like take a right at the barn that burnt down 100yrs ago *WTF? I wasnt around a 100yrs ago* Now its a MALL!!!!!!! & of course you go looking for somesort of barn that was burnt down 100yrs ago only to find out it is now the local Mall & then you are wondering why they didnt tell you that in the first place.
I am not lying here you guys. I had a job interview at a local college & the gal told me to come in to the building by the Expresso stand with the red & white stripped billboard (ok? heck their was 10 of them) then walk down the hall & turn left at the student cafe shop Then go down the stairs & take a right after you get passed the PLU Expresso stand & the office is 10 doors down.
There were like 100 coffee stands in this one flipping college & I wouldnt be suprised if there was one in each of the flipping dorms.

OT, but I'm moving to Bellvue in August to work for Mercedes-Benz of Bellvue as an ELITE technician....Is Seattle a pretty sweet area???
1 of my boys is starting tight end for the Huskies next year, and I'm just curious about the night life aside from college parties...Thanks.

Drivers in Seattle are pretty nice, I have to say. They always let me merge and they rarely use the horn. Either they are very patient or they are quietly angry at me.
One thing I noticed since I moved here a few years ago is that a surprising number of cars have body damage. I don't know what to think about that.
Also--referring to your coffee shop directions--I heard from a friend that men prefer to give directions by street names and women by landmarks. That true? I definitely use street names.
