Nice photo.
I like referring to the Lake Tapps area as Auburn. Makes people crazy, which makes it worth doing. 😂

Eh, if you’re trying to go for a different city name, Bonney Lake would make more sense

Yeah but the area around the lake I think is considered Auburn/Lakeland Hills.
Conner14 t1_iuinrzc wrote
Depends on which end. The north side of the lake is definitely closer to Lakeland / Auburn but the south end is closer to Bonney Lake

Thank you! I’m not from Washington originally, I moved up three years ago and have been finding that I love it here! I don’t see myself living anywhere else now.

Check out the green river gorge it's enumclaw area.... Pass over a narrow bridge and then walk down to a beautiful spot (small hike) there's a "waterfall" you can walk under and then when the water is low you can walk further down and summer time it's usually Poppin

Yes! I love. I haven't lived in the NW for 15 years and haven't seen those friends for ten but you took me back to early summer, carefree days from another time in my life. I would have never gone down that memory lane without you.

Tahoma

I’m wholeheartedly convinced people’s opposition to using the native name (which the tribes of WA want used) is rooted in anglo-supremacy BS.
Rainer wasn’t even an American. In fact he FOUGHT against the founding of the US. Why people would want to honor a loser brit over the native name is beyond me.

It's impressive, really. /u/pala4833 managed to malign indigenous persons and those suffering from Tourette's Syndrome in one comment.
Show's not only their anglo-supremecy BS, but that they are also an ableist who likely hasn't had to suffer the slightest adversity in life so they are okay on shitting on any person that is 'other'.

Keep in mind that Tahoma is actually the generic term for all white-capped mountains. Rainier does have a specific native name, which I can’t remember right now. I’ll see if I can find it again.

I'm going to start referring to this as TTS (Tahoma Tourette's Syndrome)

Yeah, mock both a serious psychological disorder AND the wishes of the Native peoples.
You’re so cool. Really punching down

It’s neurodevelopmental, not psychological. The rest of your point still stands however.

That's awesome, champ! No, really, good for you, little buddy.
Do you need me to send a card on your behalf to anyone, sport?
