1. No One In Washington Has Time For Umbrellas<\/h2>\n

There\u2019s never a reason to bring an umbrella. All you need is a good pair of rain boots.<\/p>\n

2. And No One Has Time For Waste<\/h2>\n

\"Compost<\/p>\n

In Washington<\/a>, recycling and composting are the norm. Waste is completely unacceptable.<\/p>\n

3. There Is Zero Time For Anti-Marijuana Lobbyists<\/h2>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

Now that it\u2019s legal in Washington, there\u2019s really no reason to fight it. Just roll with it\u2026.<\/p>\n

4. No One In Washington Has Time To Dress Up \u201cFormally\u201d<\/h2>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

It\u2019s flannel shirts, jeans, and a North Face. No more, no less.<\/p>\n

5. No One In Washington Has Time For Bikes That Aren\u2019t Mountain-Ready<\/h2>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

In such a mountainous (and eco-friendly) state, there is literally no reason to not own a mountain bike. How else are you going to experience the state properly?<\/p>\n

6. And If You\u2019re Not Up For A Hike, Washingtonians Probably Won\u2019t Have Time For You<\/h2>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

Washingtonians are born explorers. It\u2019s how you see the best sights in the state. If you don\u2019t have time for an adventure, a Washingtonian won\u2019t make time for you.<\/p>\n

7. If You Don\u2019t Know What Cascadia Is, You\u2019re Wasting A Washingtonian\u2019s Time<\/h2>\n

The Pacific Northwest is better known as Cascadia by Washingtonians. If you don\u2019t already know this (and don\u2019t own, like, a million Cascadia flags) then you\u2019re probably wasting a Washingtonian\u2019s time.<\/p>\n

8. No One Will Make Time For Crappy Beer<\/h2>\n

\"People<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re gonna come to Washington, bring skis or get out. With slopes as gorgeous as the ones here, you\u2019re just wasting time in the state if you don\u2019t have your skis.<\/p>\n

10. Cars That Aren\u2019t Subarus = Waste Of Time<\/h2>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

In Washington, it\u2019s kind of a rule of thumb that you need to own one Subaru per family at the very least. It\u2019s just the most practical car for all of that snowy, mountain driving.<\/p>\n

11. No One In Washington Will Make Time For You Before They Have Their Coffee<\/h2>\n

\"Two<\/p>\n

Washingtonians are coffee-fiends. They invented Starbucks, after all. So you better not disturb them before they\u2019ve had their morning cup of joe.<\/p>\n

12. Washingtonians Don\u2019t Have Time For People Who Aren\u2019t Friendly<\/h2>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

Source: Experience WA Facebook<\/div>\n

People in Washington are some of the most neighborly, friendly people in the entire United States. So, naturally, if you\u2019ve got a mean streak in you Washingtonians won\u2019t make much time for you.<\/p>\n

13. No One In Washington Has Time For Earthquake Paranoia<\/h2>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

While the news may have recently picked up on the fact that the Seattle<\/a> area is long overdue for a massive earthquake, this is something Washingtonians have known their whole lives. So don\u2019t be surprised if they don\u2019t make much time for your paranoia.<\/p>\n

14. Or Volcano Paranoia For That Matter<\/h2>\n

Living so close to Mount Rainier, you kind of get used to the whole volcano issue.<\/p>\n

15. Frozen Fish Is A Total Waste Of Time<\/h2>\n

When you have so many opportunities to go fishing, fly fishing, and ice fishing, chances are you\u2019re not gonna waste time with frozen fish from the grocery store.<\/p>\n

16. And So Are Cherries From Anywhere But Washington<\/h2>\n

Don\u2019t expect to see a true Washingtonian wasting time eating cherries from anywhere but Washington. Farmers markets = heaven.<\/p>\n

17. No One In Washington Has The Time To Explain How Their Town Name Is Pronounced<\/h2>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

With town names like Sammamish and Puyallup, it\u2019s no surprise that people waste time trying to pronounce them. But a true Washingtonian has no time for that.<\/p>\n

18. If You\u2019re Not A Seahawks Fan, The Border Is That Way<\/h2>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

Living in Washington means you are a diehard Seahawks fan, no matter what. So if you\u2019re gonna hate on the Seahawks, do it somewhere else.<\/p>\n

19. True Washingtonians Have Very Little Time For Hipsters<\/h2>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr user Christopher MIchael<\/div>\n

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\u2026<\/p>\n

20. And Yet No One In Washington Has Time To Shave Their Beards\u2026.<\/h2>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

Washingtonians can hate on hipsters all day, but they still don\u2019t seem to have the time to shave their classic hipster beards\u2026. hmmm\u2026.<\/p>\n

21. And You Better Be Thrifty, Or Washingtonians Won\u2019t Give You The Time Of Day<\/h2>\n

Again, regardless of the hipster stereotype, Washington does pride itself on being very thrifty. If you don\u2019t know how to bargain shop, you\u2019re wasting a Washingtonian\u2019s time.<\/p>\n

22. If You Don\u2019t Make Time For A Washingtonian\u2019s Dog, They Won\u2019t Make Time For You<\/h2>\n

\"Three<\/p>\n

In Washington, dogs are allowed everywhere. Everywhere. Bars, grocery stores, you name it. So if you\u2019re gonna hate on a Washingtonian\u2019s furbaby, they\u2019ll probably stop making time to hang out with you.<\/p>\n

23. Washingtonians Don\u2019t Have Time To Explain That Washington Is More Than Just Seattle<\/h2>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr user hjwest<\/div>\n

Do you know how many times Washingtonians have had to explain that being from Washington doesn\u2019t necessarily mean you live in (or anywhere near) Seattle? It\u2019s a big state, people!<\/p>\n

24. If You Turn Your Nose Up At Canned Cheese, Washingtonians Will Turn Their Nose Up At You<\/h2>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

Yes, WSU\u2019s Cougar Cheese is canned cheese. But it\u2019s the creamiest, most delicious thing in the entire world. So don\u2019t waste time hating on it if you haven\u2019t even tried it.<\/p>\n

25. Washington Has Zero Time For Haters<\/h2>\n

Whether you\u2019re hating on Washington because of the weather or the hipsters, Washingtonian\u2019s don\u2019t want to hear it. This state is incredible, filled with adventure and beauty, and there is no time for haters here.
