As a fellow ferry islander, I relate to so much of this, from the ferry lines to the power outages and the constant pressure of climate refugees from California and elsewhere wanting to move here. By around July 7th, locals start looking forward to Labor Day, when the visitors go home, and our island comes to life.

Our winters are milder, but wet and gray. I grew up in England, so it doesn't bother me so much, but we skip town a few times during the winter for sunnier climes.

We just tell people it rains here all the time, you'd hate it. Please spread the word.

We say many of these same things out on the Olympic Peninsula. 😉
