Welcome! I've been here over a year and a half now, be prepared, it's addicting, it's insanity, and it's family.
I was born and raised in WA state- Wenatchee. I have family on the east side, Seattle/Bham, and also family in Spokane.
Enjoy your stay! And book your calendar for the Nor-Cal Diesel Rally in Redding California in June. It's a kick ass event, and not too bad of a drive.
