Did you drive a lifted small truck with a DIY paint job and big knobby tires so you could go mudding after school or was that just Sedro-Woolley?

Yeah, was surprised to see people mentioning Mt Vernon as particularly conservative. West of the freeway is generally more liberal, East is generally more conservative.
Those deep blue and deep red spots west of the river from Mt Vernon only have like 4 votes each, too.

All assuming you’ll have a car:
- Take a ferry a drive a loop around the peninsula. A few of the many good places for a stop: Hurricane Ridge, Kalaloch, Port Townsend.
- If you’re here after April or so, do the cascade loop (https://www.cascadeloop.com/).
We have a handful of scenic byways, take your pick! https://stateofwatourism.com/scenic-byways/
If you’re here in April, consider visiting the arboretum for all kinds of beautifully flowering trees.
Also think about walking on to a ferry downtown, going to Bainbridge and walking into Winslow. Go have fish and chips at the Harbor Public House.

Where are you from, where are you staying, have you been before, what do you like doing, do you drink, are you with anybody, etc, etc?

This makes a lot of sense - motorcycles skip ferry lines in WA, and are cheaper than a walk-on fare.

Leave earlier and plan to hang out at cafe or something near your event as a buffer.

Did you read it?
You can get a waiver, you don’t have to provide a reason, you can cast a blank ballot, and there doesn’t appear to be any form of enforcement if you don’t do any of those things.
All this bill is doing is making voter registration opt out, rather than opt in. This is a good thing.
Feel free to opt out.
