i do think they need to make a big silly joke out of this in some other way tho. halfway between the two cities is centralia, maybe we could ask the chehalis tribes to put something on their new billboard?

It’s noisy & ice green, it sings & laughs as it tumbles over stoney rapids to the sea, telling stories of high mountain peaks & the battles the salmon have to reach their spawning grounds - It doesn’t keep your secrets - it screams them to the wind 🖤
I love this river. 💚
This is the Chehalis BC 🇨🇦💚

Panel 1: Marcel is on the phone, leaning on a rail at Chehalis Pet Care. Phone voice: Marcel, ya gotta help me down here! Mama’s gonna be evicted in seven days! Marcel: What am I supposed to do? Panel 2: Marcel’s sister Jane is at the stove with a pack of ramen in her hand. Next to her is a box saying “50-count Instant Ramen.” She is speaking on the phone. Jane: I don’t know! I’ve done everything I can! Maybe if she saw you – Marcel (over the phone): Mama won’t listen to me. She already hates me. Panel 3: Back to Marcel. Jane (over the phone): All right, maybe TOGETHER we can do something, but we just can’t– Marcel: JANE. Panel 4: Marcel: I think I may have the answer. Just give me time. I gotta go. Panel 5: Marcel looks at his phone, having hung up. Panel 6: A close up of his phone reveals “Eva” and the telephone number “902-319-4026.” Panel 7: Over the same close-up of the phone, a “THUMP!” sound effect is overlaid and Marcel shouts “ACK!” Panel 8: We pull out to see Marcel looking down at a cat who has awkwardly grasped his leg in desperation. Marcel: What the –? Cat: Please save me, Mister! They’re trying to give me the Rabies/FeLV vaccines and I just had them LAST YEAR!

Lewis County, WA was originally named Vancouver County, but was changed in 1849 to honor Meriwether Lewis, despite the Lewis & Clark expedition never having traveled to what is now Lewis County.

Unlike nearby Clark County, which was also originally named Vancouver County, but changed to honor...
Lewis County is a county in the U.S. state of Washington. As of the 2020 census, the county's population was 82,149.[1] The county seat is Chehalis,[2] and its largest city is Centralia. Lewis County comprises the Centralia, WA Micropolitan Statistical Area, which is also included in the Seattle-Tacoma, WA Combined Statistical Area.

What I love about Chehalis Western garden #modelrailroad is how prototypical track action is even though the ground cover isn't trying to be to scale. It still works so well because of the simplicity of the ballast and large stones while the foreground tree debris looks like a dense thicket.

Good things can happen: the owner of the terrible, racist billboard visible from the 1-5 in Washington died and it’s now owned by the Chehalis tribe

A rare forest sea lion. Seen a few miles up the Chehalis river from Aberdeen, Wa. King tides, high winds, and flooding rains seem to have brought him inland.

For non-PNWers, this billboard, which is next to a major highway, used to be privately owned and feature the weirdest QAnon adjacent messages, it was extremely obnoxious and irksome. The Chehalis Tribe recently bought the land the billboard stands on back. No more conspiracy slogans!

The 70-year saga of the Uncle Sam billboard on I-5 south of Chehalis and its provocative, conservative messaging took an abrupt turn this summer when the billboard and the 3.5 acres on which it sits was purchased by the Confederated Tribes of the Chehalis Reservation.
Uncle Sam billboard on I-5 near Chehalis goes from right-wing zingers to a statement of Native rights
The billboard, with separate messages for people traveling north and south on I-5, has garnered an undue amount of attention since the highway cut through the turkey farm owned by Alfred Hamilton and his wife Ruth in the early 1960s.

Holy shit! I know this billboard really well. I didn’t make it East of Seattle this Summer so I’ve been really confused about seeing people posting pictures of it with anything other than hatefull bullshit.

High Fucking Five to the Chehalis for this glimmer of hope.
