If you’re not from around here, avoid saying any of the following…

  1. “I’m moving to Washington!”

NOOOOO.

  1. “Washington…you mean Washington D.C.?”

Flickr / 12943203@N04 No - the entire STATE, on the other side of the country.

  1. “So, you’re from Washington? What’s the Space Needle like?”

  1. “You must go through a lot of umbrellas, from it raining all the time.”

Flickr / 57340921@N03 DOZENS.

  1. “The Seahawks suck!”

Flickr / philiprobertson (smiles at Superbowl XLVIII ring) What was that again?

  1. “All you guys in Washington drink is Starbucks.”

Flickr / -macjasp NOPE. They may have started in this area, but a lot of us prefer the smaller coffee shops.

  1. “The views here aren’t that great.”

We sense a little jealousy - but that’s okay - you can go home now.

  1. “(Any other state) is way better - you should move!”
