The upside-down Washington sticker isn’t about geography.
It’s about values:
Love for wild places (old-growth forests, alpine lakes, rugged coastlines)
Respect for rain (not as gloom, but as life-giving rhythm)
Quiet pride (no shouting—just a subtle, knowing symbol)
Joy in imperfection (because who needs everything right-side up, anyway?)
Even people who’ve moved away keep the sticker as a talisman of home—a reminder of misty mornings in the San Juans or the smell of cedar after a storm.
