7. If You Don’t Know What Cascadia Is, You’re Wasting A Washingtonian’s Time

8. No One Will Make Time For Crappy Beer
You better believe that a Washingtonian will have zero time for a Bud Light. With so many craft beers and amazing breweries, it only makes sense to buy local, delicious beer.

9. If You’re Not A Skier, You’re Wasting Washington’s Time

10. Cars That Aren’t Subarus = Waste Of Time

Washingtonians are coffee-fiends. They invented Starbucks, after all. So you better not disturb them before they’ve had their morning cup of joe.
12. Washingtonians Don’t Have Time For People Who Aren’t Friendly
People in Washington are some of the most neighborly, friendly people in the entire United States. So, naturally, if you’ve got a mean streak in you Washingtonians won’t make much time for you.

While the news may have recently picked up on the fact that the Seattle area is long overdue for a massive earthquake, this is something Washingtonians have known their whole lives. So don’t be surprised if they don’t make much time for your paranoia.

Living so close to Mount Rainier, you kind of get used to the whole volcano issue.

17. No One In Washington Has The Time To Explain How Their Town Name Is Pronounced
With town names like Sammamish and Puyallup, it’s no surprise that people waste time trying to pronounce them. But a true Washingtonian has no time for that.
18. If You’re Not A Seahawks Fan, The Border Is That Way
Living in Washington means you are a diehard Seahawks fan, no matter what. So if you’re gonna hate on the Seahawks, do it somewhere else.
19. True Washingtonians Have Very Little Time For Hipsters
Somehow Washington has gotten a huge reputation for being a hipster state, and Seattle has been deemed hipster heaven. That being said, many, MANY Washingtonians are ready for the hipsters to lose a bit of their hip and move on…
20. And Yet No One In Washington Has Time To Shave Their Beards….
Washingtonians can hate on hipsters all day, but they still don’t seem to have the time to shave their classic hipster beards…. hmmm….
21. And You Better Be Thrifty, Or Washingtonians Won’t Give You The Time Of Day
Again, regardless of the hipster stereotype, Washington does pride itself on being very thrifty. If you don’t know how to bargain shop, you’re wasting a Washingtonian’s time.
22. If You Don’t Make Time For A Washingtonian’s Dog, They Won’t Make Time For You
In Washington, dogs are allowed everywhere. Everywhere. Bars, grocery stores, you name it. So if you’re gonna hate on a Washingtonian’s furbaby, they’ll probably stop making time to hang out with you.
23. Washingtonians Don’t Have Time To Explain That Washington Is More Than Just Seattle
Do you know how many times Washingtonians have had to explain that being from Washington doesn’t necessarily mean you live in (or anywhere near) Seattle? It’s a big state, people!
24. If You Turn Your Nose Up At Canned Cheese, Washingtonians Will Turn Their Nose Up At You
Yes, WSU’s Cougar Cheese is canned cheese. But it’s the creamiest, most delicious thing in the entire world. So don’t waste time hating on it if you haven’t even tried it.
25. Washington Has Zero Time For Haters
Whether you’re hating on Washington because of the weather or the hipsters, Washingtonian’s don’t want to hear it. This state is incredible, filled with adventure and beauty, and there is no time for haters here.
