Washington is a pretty normal state for the most part. Sure, we’ve got an abundance of fresh produce, a thriving beer and wine industry and our coffee tastes a little better than most other places, but for the most part living here is like living anywhere else. But every Washingtonian has had a bizarre experience or two in their lifetime.
How many of these things have happened to you?
- You’ve heard a Bigfoot story.

- You’ve worn a short-sleeved shirt as soon as the temperature hits 58 degrees.

- You’ve gotten lost in Seattle…

- You’ve heard all the jokes about this.

- You’ve eaten Dick’s.
Curtis Cronn / Flickr It sounds stranger than it is, thankfully.
- You’ve taken a picture on a giant pig.

- You’ve driven past city skylines, mountains, plains and farms in a single day without leaving the state.
Ed Suominen / Flickr I-90 is pretty awesome.
- You’ve been told to stay indoors for the simple reason that half of your state is on fire and the air isn’t breathable.

- You grew up with earthquake drills in school.

- You’ve watched your football team tie a game.

One amazing thing about Washingtonians: We can always laugh at ourselves.
