Description Born and raised in the state of Washington, I miss every moment of it. Not all the memories are good ones, but the view was always good. I miss the mountains and the ocean. I miss the San Juan Islands, especially Orca's Island, I went there at least once every two weeks with my mom, and we had a blast. Mt Baker Theater, where I saw my first play. God, so many things happened as a kid, I wish I could just go back, even if just for a few days. Just to see it all once more.

Beautiful picture and sentiment.  I feel the same way about where I grew up.

I've probably passed through it at some point, My mom always drove straight home from Seattle whenever we'd go. Not really stopping along the way. I guess it's because Bellingham is an 1 1/2 to 3 hour drive depending on the route you take. At least that's what she told me. The last time I was in Washington was last summer, I was visiting family.

Oh, well, Bremerton is across the sound, is not a straight shot to Seattle, but it is if you take the ferry over. There's not a lot of tourist attraction there than in Seattle of course. It has some nice art galleries, a fountain park, and of course some good coffee shops. What's a northwest city without a coffee shop? . There's also the naval museum that's literally right next to the base. You can also tour a retired battle ship called the Turner Joy.

I love art galleries! It allows me take a glance into the minds of other artists.

I totally don't care much for touristy stuff, I was walking near the Seattle Space
Needle over summer and some lady walking behind me and my mom said that
seeing the Space Needle in person was the same as going to Disneyland for the
first time...I personally have seen the thing so many times, that it's really not all
that cool to me anymore.
I also really enjoy coffee shops
I don't drink coffee myself, but I enjoy people watching. And plus, I really like
drinking tea, so there's that.

We have a science museum near my current home. It's pretty cool. There's
an exhibit that sometimes comes around that shows human bodies. We also
have a children's museum near my house, that one's kind of lame though, I
guess that's cause it's for kids.

The town I live in is about a 25 minute drive from those museums. We don't
really have much to do here. We have a bunch of pizza places--all of
which are bad, a tattoo parlor--where I got both of my tattoos (one is the
triforce, the other is a pin-up of Zelda), two parks--one of them is next
to a creek--which has a large rock on one of the shores, which is nice for
clearing your head, and a trail through the woods, which people mostly
use for a place to smoke. Yeah, we don't really have much here, so I'm
usually pretty bored all the time, except when I'm working, or hanging
out with my friends.

Wow cool!

A pinup of Zelda? Oh my... 0_o LOL

I wanna get a tattoo myself, already got the design planned and stuff, but Dads trying to find a good parlor for it.

A lot of community parks in the suburbs, the neighborhood i lived in was called Parkwood East and had like five or six little parks in it. was pretty cool, me an my brother used to go around playing airsoft in those parks

Yeah, I love pinup tattoos! I wanted one for the longest time, and when I found a design that I liked, I got it done. The tattoo parlor I went to is one my friends boyfriend works at, so I got a discount on mine. What are you getting as a tattoo?

Me and my friends played Humans vs Zombies in one of the parks near my house. I used to hang out with my sister at the park, but we both hang out with our own friends now. Not so much each other anymore. Just every once in a while.
