Washington weather be like: “Oh look it’s raining super hard” *At Least 3 min later* “How long have I been spacing out for... WHY IS IT SO SUNNY OUTSIDE?!?”
ten minutes of this video just focused on western Washington with barely two minutes talking about eastern Washington. that is so accurate to how we feel here in the east. we're just as unimportant and forgotten as the homeless people on Seattle's streets.
No true everyone says this for political reasons. I grew up in Yakima and now live in Seattle. Many folks here would rather live in Eastern Washington, but because of work they live here.

I've lived in the Seattle area for over three years. Originally from the East Coast and I love the rain and dark skies! The foothills of the Cascades are only a few miles east of my place and the green countryside is spectacular. Food is great and having a diverse population makes life in Washington state even better. If you have a chance to come out for a visit, stay in a suburb of Seattle like Redmond or Issaquah and explore. You may decide to relocate.
I so love this State, it's beautiful, not boring. The rain doesn't bother me. People here are super nice and food is great! I'm a forever Washingtonian.

Washington State is similar to Canada because they are both really beautiful but Washington State is mostly Popular by Twilight and Canada is mostly Popular by the chilling Adventures of Sabrina and Riverdale . They have so much green 🌲🌳and fresh water 🌊 love it ❤
I’m moving out of WA Soon. It’s so beautiful here, but the people are just way too sad and pessimistic from what I’ve experienced. I really hope that changes because it’s probably the main reason I’m leaving. I LOVE the gloomy weather personally and the cold! The fact that forest is always so close is just fantastic. The crime is getting a bit worse as time goes on and apparently more expensive. I’m 50/50 on the place. Oh and traffic can be a REAL pain some days.
@thndr_5468 You're not missing anything. Texas sucks. It's too flat, the scenery is ugly, too hot for most of the year, and there's an aura of backwardness and stupidity that just lingers over the state. I had to live there a few years and finally free 😅.
Lane Staley,Cantrell definitely deserves much notoriety! One of my favorite bands,soo different from the others "Bleed The Freak" So above statement from "Abdulacumthe bed ..with nobody gives af about Alice in Chains🖕"
True! Tacoma is actually not that bad anymore. It's starting to become more like a San Jose in the Bay area. Lots of Seattle people are moving down here because of high cost.
South end by the mall, this area is shitty af but it never fails to draw me back, its definitely home always will be regardless of the crime or redevelopment love it and hate it but this at least for me is where I belong
Ive lived in washington for my whole life, and so has my whole family for generations, i can tell that even just a few years ago things are going downhill. But the woods and weather are my favorite in the US. The wilderness is truly beautiful.
I lived in WA for 61 years spending most of my life in the Gig Harbor area, a really great city unlike Suckattle. In WA we tend to rust instead of tan. One of the facts the narrator was remiss in sharing in the 58 cent per gallon gas tax which is almost as ridiculous as the current do-nothing Governor.
@@NickJohnson soon enough we will. You are right many transplants. As well as a governor that is adapting most of the policies that are killing California.
Lack of income tax doesn’t help. Doing only sales taxes means that any tax they levy hurts poorer people the most. And that’s really bad, especially in places like Seattle where the poor have it the worst.
I live in Spokane and your wrong that there's not much outside our city ! We have four seasons here east of the Cascade Mountains !! 200 lakes within 50 miles ! Five ski resorts within 75 miles ! Seven rivers to kayak or inner tube/raft on within 50 miles !! Two State Parks within the county ! I could keep going but you get the picture !
This video made Spokane sound like it’s a dessert. Spokane is surrounded by mountains and trees. While it’s only a 15 min drive to reach the planes and eyesore wheat fields. Spokane is actually quite beautiful. With its lilac parade and countless dog friendly areas, Riverfront Park, and Mt Spokane, which is a great place for beginners to learn how to ski and hike. No earthquakes, significantly less rain, but we do get beautiful snow.
I’m from Washington and I completely agree. Everyone that I grew up with here is really friendly and outgoing. The transplants, on the other hand, are cold and standoffish.
I would have to disagree with Olympia being a boring place, there are many things to do there such as beaches, downtown shops (which are beautiful to walk by when lights are strung up around Christmas) trails, good areas for sports, the mall, and a lot more. I think it would be cool if you talked about it more!
@@gladyschristman9594 really?! We live near Seattle so that might be the reason for everything. Broke family of 9 living in a house with 3 rooms. Hopefully, once I move out, I can get my life sorted out so I don't lead myself on the same path my parents created for themselves.
Budget Tacticool I’ve noticed Hanford is really only a big deal to people from the Tri Cities, mainly because they’re one of the largest employers there. Everyone else doesn’t know about it much.
Probably not a good idea to mention the most radioactively contaminated site in the US, home to the largest and most expensive environmental clean up ever.
Just moved here a year ago, live in south west and north west area. It’s beautiful. The people are chill, although they don’t seem to be used to a friendly hello from a stranger
I’m an avid watcher of your videos . I think this is your best video yet , you’ve clearly done your homework on my current home state of WA . Well done , you too mappy .
Seattle Mariners mlb team haven't been a winning team since 2002. And never been to the world series. The M's are just a farm team to the rest mlb teams. The M's best year was 2001 with 116 wins but went on to get knocked out in the 1st round of the American league playoffs. That sucked.
I was born and raised in Washington State and it has really gone to s*** if we get four more years of Jay Inslee the state will be completely in the sewer
@@NickJohnson everybody in this state is painfully aware of how terrible Jay Inslee is don't need to spread the word it's really obvious. I literally called his office and told him if he wanted to waste money running for president just send the money to my pocket cuz it was a waste.
The main advantage of living among the conservatives on the east side, is although there are four distinct seasons there are over 300 days of SUN on the east side.
I'm from Seattle. Living in Colombia and doing a class on Pacific NW culture. It was surprisingly hard to find a video without vulgarity for students and this is absolutely perfect and well done. Thank you for your hard work!
Don't believe what your told. There are alot of conservatives in Thurston county. That's just what the liars I mean, Democrats want you to believe. Most of the liberals that attend university are not from Washington. But seem to be the only voices media wants to hear.
Washington is the most unchurched state. I grew up there, 53 years. Then it became ridiculously expensive so rather than becoming homeless I left. Before Twilight, Forks was famous for John Wayne having a place there. I grew up across the street from beer man Bill Scott, the guy who invented "the wave". The only thing you need to know about why you shouldn't move to WA is that one single county controls all legislation. King county where they outlawed the word "brown" because it might offend.
Pretty accurate WA description. However, I’m surprised you didn’t mention the Hanford site. It did play a huge role in WW2 and many folks still work there.
@Isaac Radisich naches is beautiful and a place I recommend visiting for sure, but pretty small, far from metropolitan areas and opportunity is extremely Niche
I am local, BC really doesn’t influence Washington that much. There already more liberal leaning & libertarian leaning people West of the Cascades. You should ask people living in the Bellingham area, they might have more influence than the rest of the state. There a lot of Canadians shoppers that come down here to shop because it is cheaper. If the injection site is a Vancouver thing, please take that back.
I live in Spokane. It's turning more and more into Seattle. Lots of drugs, needles in a lot of areas 😡. Id never think of here as cowboys riding horses down the street. Although there's lots of chickens and horses. Some cows. I used to love Seattle but I'll pass now. I just like the ocean and there's a lot of that. You got it right about east vs west politically. 😣 ugh the governor sucks! But it's totally not the worst place to live. I've seen your videos on the east coast 😬 I love your videos as I ofttimes wonder what it's like elsewhere so thanks for showing me. 😉 I love you're videos and your songs are the bees knees 🐝. Lmao I just enjoy the whole package. Love you're attitude twards issues as I feel similar. Thanks so much for sharing nick! 😊 I look forward to more!
As a spokanite, I can confirm there are many republicans. And, in Spokane it is quite green. Riverfront is a beautiful place. I have never once seen a tumbleweed or a cowboy, and Seattle is more expensive than Spokane. Oh yeah, and also I've never seen a volcano, tornado, or earthquake while living here.
NICK!! Great vid. you were were spot on with everything. Especially the Aberdeen thing. Its a cesspool of despair. I grew up their. Im in tacoma now lol.
@@gladyschristman9594 Sorry you had a bad experience here. The thing I love about Seattle is in the winter, I can snowboard easily almost everyday and in the summer I can hike, camp, and swim in lakes, rivers, and the ocean! I don’t know what else I’m missing?
Born and raised in Cheney, WA. I get asked more often then not if im from Montana, Texas, or even Canada. And due to the way I dress and live, a lot of people don't believe me when I say there is a big difference between eastern WA and the west. I liked seeing something from home that didn't completely revolve around Seattle, and if anyone asks, I absolutely hate that city. Yall have a great day
I really hope hes just joking about how there's nothing out side of spokane beside tumble weeds and desert land. I live out side of Spokane and we have beautiful treed area (forest areas). There is also some gorgeous farm lands. Dessert land is more by Tri-citys and even then its amazing.
State Sales tax is 6.5% not 10%. Cities and Counties can add additional amounts to that. Most locations have a rate of 8% or higher but surprisingly Seattle doesn't have the highest rate. That crown goes to the towns of Lynnwood, Mill Creek, and Mukilteo with a rate of 10.5%
@2:35 Washington State is never confused for Washington DC. Unless you're talking to someone from the East coast. They call Washington DC "Washington". It's an East coast thing.
I've 100000% had this exact conversation over 50 times in my life. Them: Where do you live? Me: Washington. Them: Nice DC/Oh DC. Me: No the State. I think people got fed up. No one really just says Washington as locals, it's always referred to as Washington State.
I was born here in Spokane. I grew up in New Mexico and California before our family moved back to Washington state. I love living here on the east side where we have rivers, mountains, scrubland, forests so thick that you can only see in a short distance, rolling hills of wheat, the Palouse Falls, the city of Republic where you can dig for fossils, the Columbia River, Spokane that has two rivers running through it and a city park in every neighborhood. We love the east side!
@@yosefch6605 Yes, we are a city full of neighborly people where if a visitor is lost, we'll give helpful directions or walk them to their destination. Even during this pandemic, we have plenty of open spaces to walk, jog, or run in. How many places have you been where the bus riders often thank their driver when they get off?
I live in a small town in Washington, which mostly consists of upper-lower class and middle class families. There is very little crime and no noticeable homelessness or drug usage. I believe such things are more common in our largest city, Seattle, than where I reside.
That's ignorant AF. Homeless drug addicts come from every corner of the country. They are not a product of cities. I'm guessing you don't get out much, other than to go to church.
I live in eastern WA. Odessa, with around 900 people and the land around here, the scab lands, look amazing. I'm glad i was born and raised here. Small wheat farming town. Mostly German. We have a festival called deutschesfest every year in September.
Lived in Seattle area most of my life 55 years, it was a great place to grow up. Close to the Puget Sound anda beautiful area to explore, now that I have left it is almost unrecognizable with homeless. Trash. And too many people. Traffic and crazy folks :( I certainly miss the area I grew up in but will not live there again. Makes my heart sad that it has changed so much and not for the better! I still support the wine industry though. Some of the best wines ever come from Washington! Cheers!
I work up in seattle, it is crazy how crappy it is up there, i had to work around druggies and rats for a month and will never accept a job there in the city again
Thank you for another great unboxing video, Nick! You were really accurate when you mentioned that Washingtonians are dead tired of having to explain that our state isn't Washington D.C. 😀
Idk I live in Yakima it is miserable. Gangs, robbery's, murderers and shootings happen all the time. I have to drive 2 or 3 hrs to go somewhere nice B.S.
I’ve lived in Yakima for 40 years . I’ve raised 3 boys here in a home where we never lock our doors, I always forget my bag or whatever in my car and nothing happens. What part of Yakima do you live in? People always talk about the crime and the gangs here. My boys went to public school. We are definitely not rich. Our neighborhood is blue collar. From my experience Yakima is a great little city to live.
Wife and I moved to the Olympic Peninsula from Vermont 3 1/2 years ago. It doesn't rain here any more than it did back in Vermont, since we're in the rain shadow. I haven't kicked around Seattle much, but I've got to do that before it goes COMPLETELY down the tubes, which it seems to be doing.
Washington resident, UW Alumni, World citizen. The Seattle City Council has made me want to move as soon as my daughter graduates HS here. The bums have won and I’m out.
Holy cow I can't believe it's been almost a year since I requested this video lol Nick you're awesome for making this ❤️ Edit: totally miss the scene with Mappy getting high 😂 too funny. Dang TH-cam.
It’s because umbrellas don’t save you from our mist rain. If you want to look like a moron holding an umbrella while still getting soaked from the mist blowing up under the dumb thing, then by all means. We’ll watch you and laugh.
The only issue I have with it is the people. Everything else would be a non-issue if the people could just be kind and friendly. They talk a lot about being virtuous, but in practice they're generally hostile and mean spirited.
I wouldn't go as far as to say "mean spirited" but they definitely are not warm. Somebody said it's the "transplants" who are usually the ones giving off the "Seattle Freeze" vibes, which maybe it is, but I'm from the South and am a transplant and am friendly and speak and make eye contact, I only stopped doing so because when I got here, NO ONE else did lol. So I'm sure lots of people from here as well have that same unfriendly, uninviting vibe. It really sucks because it is truly the most beautiful place that I have lived, but the people are like socially remedial. Also, I can tell it's a native Seattle thing as well, because at work I always know which of my crew members are native to Washington, because they are the most passive agressive ones, lol. That's the west coast all day, passive aggressive through and through. Funny enough the most friendly people I've met here, have been other transplants, from the South. However; I will say I recently spent some time in West Seattle and people were much more nice and actually spoke to you there. So maybe I just haven't found a good location yet.
Thanks, Nick! Well done, great capture! I would just add how excited we get when there's a sun break and we exclaim, "Hey, everybody, the mountain is out!" And perhaps how many strange things happen on Mt. Rainier. And, yeah, "Umbrellas are for wimps!"
I currently live in Virginia, but was thinking about moving to Washington or Maine when my parents are gone, and have no immediate family nearby, which I pretty much don't right now besides the parents. I love the type of weather there, and it seems like it would make for great hiking experiences through woods and what not.
It's gorgeous no doubt but you can't see a damn mountain for most of the year because it's cloudy... and it does rain A LOT. Don't let this video fool you.... I did two miserable years in Snohomish... dear god....awful. There is nothing convenient about running errands there... and the traffic is shite. And it's expensive and the people are fake fake fake in the big cities... The locals in smaller cities like north or south of Seattle are cranky and don't like "foreigners" There is a thing called the Seattle Freeze... and it's a real deal. Very hard to make friends there... not that you'd really want to know most of them. Honestly I was really disappointed. It's a shame most people aren't as beautiful as the nature.
@kathrynl2009 right on. Lots of people say they love it here. I hate it here. Lol oregon is better. State is too small too. Once you seen it all it gets extremely boring. Can't ever drive anywhere with the traffic here. Mt hood is only 40 minutes from Portland. Outta the city no problem, in the middle of nowhere. Washington, 40 minutes. Your still in the city! 🤦♂️
Washington is a beautiful state. Seattle is full of problems and drives the politics for the entire state, much to the dismay of those living in eastern Washington.
Lifelong resident from Seattle (currently living in Federal Way), the one thing that can tempt one to depression are the short days during the fall/winter season after we go back to standard time. It would get old spending 3 hours a day commuting back/forth from Seattle, and it would be dark outside coming and going!! I think sunset on the shortest day of the year would be about 4:15pm-before I got home from work.
Our state was ruined when the Californians started moving up here in the 90's. They brought their politics and attitudes with them and with that the state has gone done hill fast. People in Seattle complain about everything, but then they go and vote for the same thing over and over.
Here is my entire Unboxing Series: th-cam.com/play/PLq-_cmf3H6yqgM1vGG305six5T7dqGURF.html
Living in Washington is like watching a beautiful place get ruined by rich people buying all the land and turning it into the state they left.
So sad

The same with Western NC.

“How long have I been spacing out for... WHY IS IT SO SUNNY OUTSIDE?!?”

The weather in Washington can be described as 'erratic'.
So accurate
And depending on the time of year you could get; sun, snow, rain, sleet, hail, and gale force winds that knock down Widowmaker branches.
We don't use umbrellas.....we just scrunch up our faces, fold our arms, and walk a little faster.
Yeah, the most rain protection you'll see are rain jackets.
I will still use my umbrella when I move there. 😂

I’m moving out of WA Soon. It’s so beautiful here, but the people are just way too sad and pessimistic from what I’ve experienced. I really hope that changes because it’s probably the main reason I’m leaving. I LOVE the gloomy weather personally and the cold! The fact that forest is always so close is just fantastic. The crime is getting a bit worse as time goes on and apparently more expensive. I’m 50/50 on the place. Oh and traffic can be a REAL pain some days.
We’re leaving too. It’s mainly for my kids and discontentment with the curriculum. But the prices are insane too.
@thndr_5468 You're not missing anything. Texas sucks. It's too flat, the scenery is ugly, too hot for most of the year, and there's an aura of backwardness and stupidity that just lingers over the state. I had to live there a few years and finally free 😅.
So we’re not going to talk about how he left Alice In Chains out?
Nobody gives af about alice in chains
Lmao
And jimi hendrix
@@abdulabadkumbati664I do 🥲
Lane Staley,Cantrell definitely deserves much notoriety! One of my favorite bands,soo different from the others
"Bleed The Freak"
So above statement from "Abdulacumthe bed ..with nobody gives af about Alice in Chains🖕"
You didn't even talk about the Tri-Cities area
Tell me about Tri-Cities
@@JazminMmasechaba good
Tri cities gonna grow big
Seriously I know right
There’s a reason for that...
I live in Washington all my life and I’m still living in Washington
TARDIS2711- How do you like washington? I'm thinking of moving up there. I assume you are by Seattle
@@infoguy1978 to liberal
infoguy1978 it’s too expensive
TARDIS2711 sameee
@@infoguy1978 The traffic is too heavy.
Tacompton I’m done I haven’t heard that in years 😂 being a Tacoma resident it has been given some TLC
True! Tacoma is actually not that bad anymore. It's starting to become more like a San Jose in the Bay area. Lots of Seattle people are moving down here because of high cost.
Tacoma kind of reminds me of Compton and Long Beach.
and south Tacoma reminds me of Sacramento.
Don't forget Spunaway
Looks like Tacoma crime rate is going right back to what they were in the 90's murders everyday. I dont know were you live.
South end by the mall, this area is shitty af but it never fails to draw me back, its definitely home always will be regardless of the crime or redevelopment love it and hate it but this at least for me is where I belong
Ive lived in washington for my whole life, and so has my whole family for generations, i can tell that even just a few years ago things are going downhill. But the woods and weather are my favorite in the US. The wilderness is truly beautiful.
I love Washington but god damn if that earthquake doesn’t keep me up at night
Move to the east. We are separated by the mountains. A wall to keep all the bad from the west coast away haha
SAME
I thought I was the only one to think that lmao
I live in spokane i hate it i used to live in Cali
In Seattle we dont get lots of earth quakes ( I live near Seattle)
I lived in WA for 61 years spending most of my life in the Gig Harbor area, a really great city unlike Suckattle. In WA we tend to rust instead of tan. One of the facts the narrator was remiss in sharing in the 58 cent per gallon gas tax which is almost as ridiculous as the current do-nothing Governor.
At least you don't live in California. But I'm sure you're getting a lot of CA transplants though.
@@NickJohnson soon enough we will. You are right many transplants. As well as a governor that is adapting most of the policies that are killing California.
Lack of income tax doesn’t help. Doing only sales taxes means that any tax they levy hurts poorer people the most. And that’s really bad, especially in places like Seattle where the poor have it the worst.
I live in Spokane and your wrong that there's not much outside our city ! We have four seasons here east of the Cascade Mountains !! 200 lakes within 50 miles ! Five ski resorts within 75 miles ! Seven rivers to kayak or inner tube/raft on within 50 miles !! Two State Parks within the county ! I could keep going but you get the picture !
Do yall have a mall? I heard you had to go to Idaho for that. NO one talks about Spokane.
This video made Spokane sound like it’s a dessert. Spokane is surrounded by mountains and trees. While it’s only a 15 min drive to reach the planes and eyesore wheat fields. Spokane is actually quite beautiful. With its lilac parade and countless dog friendly areas, Riverfront Park, and Mt Spokane, which is a great place for beginners to learn how to ski and hike. No earthquakes, significantly less rain, but we do get beautiful snow.
I just drove through Spokane and saw tons of construction and traffic. Looked like it was booming.
His videos are all like this. Very little research and uses what others say about the subject to call his own. So far from the truth 99% of the time.
You can tell this written by somebody who has never been to eastern Washington. Its all about Seattle and the parts that aren't, are bashing Spokane.
I live here.... Glad i don't live in Seattle.
The anti social "Seattle freeze" is actually the transplants from my experience.
yes that's what i've heard. are you frozen?
Caitlin Gust definitely true
I’m from Washington and I completely agree. Everyone that I grew up with here is really friendly and outgoing. The transplants, on the other hand, are cold and standoffish.
Yes! It's because most only want $$$$
@@beckypayne2550 yeah, which makes sense, they're new here, we just got to defrost them.
I would have to disagree with Olympia being a boring place, there are many things to do there such as beaches, downtown shops (which are beautiful to walk by when lights are strung up around Christmas) trails, good areas for sports, the mall, and a lot more. I think it would be cool if you talked about it more!
You forgot how expensive it is here
Not here in Moses Lake! 🤷🏽♀️
@@gladyschristman9594 really?! We live near Seattle so that might be the reason for everything. Broke family of 9 living in a house with 3 rooms. Hopefully, once I move out, I can get my life sorted out so I don't lead myself on the same path my parents created for themselves.
@Boa Sky we're in the west. That must be why
At the base of the space needle you can watch tourists be accosted by the city's homeless population.
Rick Steves lives there too
Any from tri-cities? surprised the Hanford site wasnt mentioned at all
Budget Tacticool I’ve noticed Hanford is really only a big deal to people from the Tri Cities, mainly because they’re one of the largest employers there. Everyone else doesn’t know about it much.
Probably not a good idea to mention the most radioactively contaminated site in the US, home to the largest and most expensive environmental clean up ever.
Boring area reminded me of rural Texas
Just moved here a year ago, live in south west and north west area. It’s beautiful. The people are chill, although they don’t seem to be used to a friendly hello from a stranger
This is the most pretentious, sarcastic and accurate assessment of Washington. Well done 👍
I’m an avid watcher of your videos .
I think this is your best video yet , you’ve clearly done your homework on my current home state of WA .
Well done , you too mappy .
Awesome thanks Todd! Mappy says HI!!
Do you live in a gated community? That is definitely your opinion! I've been here 40+ years and think this is the most inaccurate video I've seen.
Most inaccurate how so , certainly you can list some examples ?
It’s spot on , there’s not one tangible inaccuracy in this entire video .
I think his general opinion of Washington sums up Seattle.
I respectively and wholeheartedly disagree
I want to move here so bad after I finish college. it looks so beautiful and i enjoy the gloomy weather lol
omg same! I can drive to Washington in about 20 minutes from where I live, but I still love it
same here. Love rainy weather, and when it is overcast. To hell with the sun and super hot days.
I thought I was the only one that like gray gloomy days
Great video but you forgot the Seattle Mariners our mlb team
Seattle Mariners mlb team haven't been a winning team since 2002. And never been to the world series. The M's are just a farm team to the rest mlb teams. The M's best year was 2001 with 116 wins but went on to get knocked out in the 1st round of the American league playoffs. That sucked.
Jim Talbott thank you for that history lesson we are all aware our team sucks
Jim Talbott Dude come on man
To be fair most of us have to. 😣
Brandon Brown Ik 😢
I've lived in Battle Ground for 54 years. You didn't mention Mt. Saint Helen's erupting in 1980. That was a catastrophe!
I was born and raised in Washington State and it has really gone to s*** if we get four more years of Jay Inslee the state will be completely in the sewer
Dang you go girl. Are you gonna spread the word or what??
@@NickJohnson everybody in this state is painfully aware of how terrible Jay Inslee is don't need to spread the word it's really obvious. I literally called his office and told him if he wanted to waste money running for president just send the money to my pocket cuz it was a waste.
I second that girl! he needs to go
Preach
I know your from Washington. Your one statement was more accurate imo.
Lots of rain but beautiful place, we love Washington
After stayin in Washington for like a month, I love it like the weather and vibe is something else.
Cortez Perez i’m from washington. what part?
How's it been
The main advantage of living among the conservatives on the east side, is although there are four distinct seasons there are over 300 days of SUN on the east side.
I'm from Seattle. Living in Colombia and doing a class on Pacific NW culture. It was surprisingly hard to find a video without vulgarity for students and this is absolutely perfect and well done. Thank you for your hard work!
They're not all that tame BUT maybe you should still sub Josh 😉
Did you say “Colombia”? In South America?
@@rositarosada8462 Yes.
I live in Spokane and almost never see a MAGA hat. It is truethat there are a ton of Subarus in Washington.
MAGA hats are hard to find!
Go north of Spokane you'll see lots of MAGA hat 😨
Subarus in spokane yeah but rest of the state no
manifestman132 subie gang 😎😂
Don't believe what your told. There are alot of conservatives in Thurston county. That's just what the liars I mean, Democrats want you to believe. Most of the liberals that attend university are not from Washington. But seem to be the only voices media wants to hear.
This was literally all about Seattle wtf
😂 Did YT force you to edit out Mappy getting high? I noticed that segment is missing from this re-upload. Those idiots.
Yes they did. Always. Haters.
Lmao haha
The opening video was from Central Oregon. Nice one
Washington is the most unchurched state. I grew up there, 53 years. Then it became ridiculously expensive so rather than becoming homeless I left. Before Twilight, Forks was famous for John Wayne having a place there. I grew up across the street from beer man Bill Scott, the guy who invented "the wave". The only thing you need to know about why you shouldn't move to WA is that one single county controls all legislation. King county where they outlawed the word "brown" because it might offend.
Nick, Complete the Unboxing States Series....
Its awesome and very knowledgable..
👍👍
I will try my best
Pretty accurate WA description. However, I’m surprised you didn’t mention the Hanford site. It did play a huge role in WW2 and many folks still work there.
This video needs a part 2.
I live right next to that 😌
I'm from Texas and I am DYING to move to Washington. This heat is killing me
Goooo Annagrace and be happy!! ❤️💥😊
Don’t move to Washington! This place sucks!!!
You will like it. Especially compared to Texas
You'd love it here.
@Isaac Radisich naches is beautiful and a place I recommend visiting for sure, but pretty small, far from metropolitan areas and opportunity is extremely Niche
Nick , how does Washington being so close to Vancouver BC affect life in the state ?
That would make a great video coming up.
OrionSentry lots of canadians coming in up in northern washington, around Bellingham. They come down here because certain items cost less n such
I am local, BC really doesn’t influence Washington that much. There already more liberal leaning & libertarian leaning people West of the Cascades. You should ask people living in the Bellingham area, they might have more influence than the rest of the state. There a lot of Canadians shoppers that come down here to shop because it is cheaper. If the injection site is a Vancouver thing, please take that back.
Other way around. How does wa effect BC.
I lived two hours from the Canadian boarder and everyone says we sound a lot more Canadian 🤣
@@divinedriftofficial how? I can only speak for myself, But I have no desire to go to Canada at all.
You are absolutely the best. I've seen so many of your videos and they are so clever and so "spot on." Thank you so much for doing these!
I live in Spokane. It's turning more and more into Seattle. Lots of drugs, needles in a lot of areas 😡. Id never think of here as cowboys riding horses down the street. Although there's lots of chickens and horses. Some cows. I used to love Seattle but I'll pass now. I just like the ocean and there's a lot of that. You got it right about east vs west politically. 😣 ugh the governor sucks! But it's totally not the worst place to live. I've seen your videos on the east coast 😬 I love your videos as I ofttimes wonder what it's like elsewhere so thanks for showing me. 😉 I love you're videos and your songs are the bees knees 🐝. Lmao I just enjoy the whole package. Love you're attitude twards issues as I feel similar. Thanks so much for sharing nick! 😊 I look forward to more!
I was thinking that too. Spokane has a lot of beauty. But driving downtown can be super sketchy. There is a lot of drugs and crime. Its very sad
I wish you talked more about the orchards! Please make a video on this topic! Our parens work so hard for us in the orchards
Okay!
Nick Johnson thanks 😊
A BIG NO TO THE ORCHARDS ! HOW ABOUT YAKAMA NATION -RESERVATION ?
As a spokanite, I can confirm there are many republicans. And, in Spokane it is quite green. Riverfront is a beautiful place. I have never once seen a tumbleweed or a cowboy, and Seattle is more expensive than Spokane. Oh yeah, and also I've never seen a volcano, tornado, or earthquake while living here.
Tri cities is also eastern Washington and we get tumble weed and snow in the same day lol
Hi Mappy! You’re so funny!
Mappy says hey Jaslene!!
That eye tearing up loll! 😂 Very helpful overview, great coverage of important topics / much appreciated!
8:07 That's Mercado de San Miguel in Madrid, Spain. Why is it in this video? lmao
NICK!! Great vid. you were were spot on with everything. Especially the Aberdeen thing. Its a cesspool of despair. I grew up their. Im in tacoma now lol.
❤️ Do you like it there Jessica?
@@NickJohnson legal weed and mild summers, cant complain! lol
He mentioned Long Beach 🙌🏽😭 true hero
This is a super interesting video. I just moved here a year ago and from what I can tell, this is pretty spot on!
No not at all. Seattle sucks yeah spot on but spend the summer in the East and You’ll never go back!
@@gladyschristman9594 Sorry you had a bad experience here. The thing I love about Seattle is in the winter, I can snowboard easily almost everyday and in the summer I can hike, camp, and swim in lakes, rivers, and the ocean! I don’t know what else I’m missing?
I barley even touch Seattle in my life time probably been there for 10 hours
Hahahahah I love that" grab your coffee or kombucha and hop in your suburu" ahaha
Now there are probably an equal number of Tesla's.
8:45 comment: you have hit all the points! Well done! I have lived here since Jan 1993. Excellent research and presentation!
Couldn’t have been more true when you said most republicans live in eastern Washington
Born and raised in Cheney, WA. I get asked more often then not if im from Montana, Texas, or even Canada. And due to the way I dress and live, a lot of people don't believe me when I say there is a big difference between eastern WA and the west. I liked seeing something from home that didn't completely revolve around Seattle, and if anyone asks, I absolutely hate that city. Yall have a great day
I really hope hes just joking about how there's nothing out side of spokane beside tumble weeds and desert land. I live out side of Spokane and we have beautiful treed area (forest areas). There is also some gorgeous farm lands. Dessert land is more by Tri-citys and even then its amazing.
It was jokes is all sorry if I offended you Catherine
Go west 70 miles from Spokane and you'll see the desert I live in.
Nope, all lies. Nothing out here. Stay in Seattle.
@@NickJohnson sadly everything offends somebody, stop apologizing.
State Sales tax is 6.5% not 10%. Cities and Counties can add additional amounts to that. Most locations have a rate of 8% or higher but surprisingly Seattle doesn't have the highest rate. That crown goes to the towns of Lynnwood, Mill Creek, and Mukilteo with a rate of 10.5%
@2:35
Washington State is never confused for Washington DC. Unless you're talking to someone from the East coast. They call Washington DC "Washington".
It's an East coast thing.
I've 100000% had this exact conversation over 50 times in my life.
Them: Where do you live?
Me: Washington.
Them: Nice DC/Oh DC.
Me: No the State.
I think people got fed up. No one really just says Washington as locals, it's always referred to as Washington State.
I was born here in Spokane. I grew up in New Mexico and California before our family moved back to Washington state. I love living here on the east side where we have rivers, mountains, scrubland, forests so thick that you can only see in a short distance, rolling hills of wheat, the Palouse Falls, the city of Republic where you can dig for fossils, the Columbia River, Spokane that has two rivers running through it and a city park in every neighborhood. We love the east side!
Wow I too was born in California and attended university in New Mexico, now I reside in Spokane, WA. and I love it.
@@yosefch6605 Yes, we are a city full of neighborly people where if a visitor is lost, we'll give helpful directions or walk them to their destination. Even during this pandemic, we have plenty of open spaces to walk, jog, or run in. How many places have you been where the bus riders often thank their driver when they get off?
You live in the forest part of the east side. Not the desert which is the true eastern Wa
Two rivers??? No
Washington also has more glaciers than anywhere else in the United States anywhere besides Alaska.
I live in a small town in Washington, which mostly consists of upper-lower class and middle class families. There is very little crime and no noticeable homelessness or drug usage. I believe such things are more common in our largest city, Seattle, than where I reside.
So you live in a small town or Seattle?
@@NickJohnson I live in a rather small town.
That's ignorant AF. Homeless drug addicts come from every corner of the country. They are not a product of cities. I'm guessing you don't get out much, other than to go to church.
I live in eastern WA. Odessa, with around 900 people and the land around here, the scab lands, look amazing. I'm glad i was born and raised here. Small wheat farming town. Mostly German. We have a festival called deutschesfest every year in September.
Why do you call it scab lands?
Lived in Seattle area most of my life 55 years, it was a great place to grow up. Close to the Puget Sound anda beautiful area to explore, now that I have left it is almost unrecognizable with homeless. Trash. And too many people. Traffic and crazy folks :( I certainly miss the area I grew up in but will not live there again. Makes my heart sad that it has changed so much and not for the better! I still support the wine industry though. Some of the best wines ever come from Washington! Cheers!
I work up in seattle, it is crazy how crappy it is up there, i had to work around druggies and rats for a month and will never accept a job there in the city again
"Recording breaking if it hits 80 degrees" didn't age well after our heatwave getting to 113 degrees lol
It'll be 130 soon
Thank you for another great unboxing video, Nick! You were really accurate when you mentioned that Washingtonians are dead tired of having to explain that our state isn't Washington D.C. 😀
Is there no desire to change the name??
@@tioabdullah9935 NO!
Idk I live in Yakima it is miserable. Gangs, robbery's, murderers and shootings happen all the time. I have to drive 2 or 3 hrs to go somewhere nice B.S.
Same
Bro Yakima???! Lmaooo stop it
I’ve lived in Yakima for 40 years . I’ve raised 3 boys here in a home where we never lock our doors, I always forget my bag or whatever in my car and nothing happens. What part of Yakima do you live in? People always talk about the crime and the gangs here. My boys went to public school. We are definitely not rich. Our neighborhood is blue collar. From my experience Yakima is a great little city to live.
Wife and I moved to the Olympic Peninsula from Vermont 3 1/2 years ago. It doesn't rain here any more than it did back in Vermont, since we're in the rain shadow. I haven't kicked around Seattle much, but I've got to do that before it goes COMPLETELY down the tubes, which it seems to be doing.
Tacoma- City Of Destiny ❤
Good Video Nick 😉
Hey Mandy :)
Washington resident, UW Alumni, World citizen. The Seattle City Council has made me want to move as soon as my daughter graduates HS here. The bums have won and I’m out.
Holy cow I can't believe it's been almost a year since I requested this video lol Nick you're awesome for making this ❤️
Edit: totally miss the scene with Mappy getting high 😂 too funny. Dang TH-cam.
Hey Carlie :) I know - we can't have fun - TH-cams rules ruin it for everyone ❤️❤️ hope you're doing well!
True about no umbrellas. You are supposed to stand around in the rain bareheaded in your tee shirt when it's 45 degrees out.
Yuck Tom 🌧 🥶
👎👎
It’s because umbrellas don’t save you from our mist rain. If you want to look like a moron holding an umbrella while still getting soaked from the mist blowing up under the dumb thing, then by all means. We’ll watch you and laugh.
The only issue I have with it is the people. Everything else would be a non-issue if the people could just be kind and friendly. They talk a lot about being virtuous, but in practice they're generally hostile and mean spirited.
Maybe you are too close to the city?
I wouldn't go as far as to say "mean spirited" but they definitely are not warm. Somebody said it's the "transplants" who are usually the ones giving off the "Seattle Freeze" vibes, which maybe it is, but I'm from the South and am a transplant and am friendly and speak and make eye contact, I only stopped doing so because when I got here, NO ONE else did lol. So I'm sure lots of people from here as well have that same unfriendly, uninviting vibe. It really sucks because it is truly the most beautiful place that I have lived, but the people are like socially remedial. Also, I can tell it's a native Seattle thing as well, because at work I always know which of my crew members are native to Washington, because they are the most passive agressive ones, lol. That's the west coast all day, passive aggressive through and through. Funny enough the most friendly people I've met here, have been other transplants, from the South. However; I will say I recently spent some time in West Seattle and people were much more nice and actually spoke to you there. So maybe I just haven't found a good location yet.
Yes West Washington is VERY passive aggressive.
Thanks, Nick! Well done, great capture! I would just add how excited we get when there's a sun break and we exclaim, "Hey, everybody, the mountain is out!" And perhaps how many strange things happen on Mt. Rainier. And, yeah, "Umbrellas are for wimps!"
The mountains and sea are the best thing about Washington!! I love the North Cascades. Great place to hike and explore the water ways!
What about when it snows on the west side and every one looses there mind
Do you ever go to Seattle Ryan?
I live about 40 mins south of Seattle
Spokane sees that on the news and laughs.
Omggggg totally lived this last weekend. Hubby and I couldn’t believe it. 😂
I currently live in Virginia, but was thinking about moving to Washington or Maine when my parents are gone, and have no immediate family nearby, which I pretty much don't right now besides the parents. I love the type of weather there, and it seems like it would make for great hiking experiences through woods and what not.
You would love it. Eastern Washington is 🌵 western Washington totally opposite
It's gorgeous no doubt but you can't see a damn mountain for most of the year because it's cloudy... and it does rain A LOT. Don't let this video fool you.... I did two miserable years in Snohomish... dear god....awful. There is nothing convenient about running errands there... and the traffic is shite. And it's expensive and the people are fake fake fake in the big cities... The locals in smaller cities like north or south of Seattle are cranky and don't like "foreigners" There is a thing called the Seattle Freeze... and it's a real deal. Very hard to make friends there... not that you'd really want to know most of them. Honestly I was really disappointed. It's a shame most people aren't as beautiful as the nature.
You would love them both! They feel a bit similar. They're both beautiful states.
@kathrynl2009 right on. Lots of people say they love it here. I hate it here. Lol oregon is better. State is too small too. Once you seen it all it gets extremely boring. Can't ever drive anywhere with the traffic here. Mt hood is only 40 minutes from Portland. Outta the city no problem, in the middle of nowhere. Washington, 40 minutes. Your still in the city! 🤦♂️
@@bmwrider1931 Western Washington is just fine.
Washington is a beautiful state. Seattle is full of problems and drives the politics for the entire state, much to the dismay of those living in eastern Washington.
Lifelong resident from Seattle (currently living in Federal Way), the one thing that can tempt one to depression are the short days during the fall/winter season after we go back to standard time. It would get old spending 3 hours a day commuting back/forth from Seattle, and it would be dark outside coming and going!! I think sunset on the shortest day of the year would be about 4:15pm-before I got home from work.
Add to that: I'm going to be moving to CA in a few months!! I'm reversing the migration pattern! lol..
Cool! Safe travels!
@@NickJohnson thank you!!
Nice information bro❤️❤️❤️❤️ America is so great and beautiful ✌️
Our state was ruined when the Californians started moving up here in the 90's. They brought their politics and attitudes with them and with that the state has gone done hill fast. People in Seattle complain about everything, but then they go and vote for the same thing over and over.
Yep the liberals ruined everything and they still are today. What a shame.
