I’m from Florida! So you can imagine my shock at how the different landscapes are.

Fun fact: one of the hills here, Queen Anne hill, where Kerry Park is, is taller than the tallest natural point in the whole state of Florida.

Look it up. ;)

You know, I kind-of-but-not-really-wish I’d grown up somewhere flat like Florida or Illinois or something instead of Washington just so I could experience seeing a mountain (much less a mountain like Rainier!!) for the first time and have my brain melt. So glad it was that magical for you.

Cool fact, Rainier’s the tallest mountain in the lower 48 United States measured from base to summit. You won’t find that kind of hill anywhere else in the contiguous states!!
