Is it legal to buy fire works in washington state?
I'm moving there in about 19 days from florida. Here we have firework stores open all year long. And can get some impressive fireworks in them. Was just wondering if you could buy your own in Washington too.

There are plenty of Indian grocery stores and restaurants in the Seattle area. You are likely to find them rather more expensive than ones in India itself, but salaries are also higher. Most of the necessary ingredients for Indian cooking can be easily obtained in the Seattle area, though some things like fresh coconuts can be a little hard to find/expensive. Packaged Indian foods are easily available, some of them in regular supermarkets, not just in Indian grocery stores. If you are muslim, there are halal butchers, and Seattle is a great city to be a vegetarian. Note that most of the Indian groceries and restaurants in the Seattle have a strong northern bias with foods of the Punjab dominant. If there is a southern Indian restaurant in the area (foods of Tamil Nadu, Kerala, etc.), I have yet to find it. There are a few in Vancouver, BC.

I used ti live in west virginia and go to washington dc every time i could and i travel to va, it was quiet gray but good people. the national park services have many books about those places.

Can you be more specific. The northern tip of VA near DC is rather large and encompasses a vast difference in cultures. Arlington is a nice city with lot's of shopping and is more residential than Rosslyn, with is also near DC. Rosslyn is considerably more expensive than arlington. Arlington, however offers more cultural diversity than rosslyn.

Very nice, its big horse country up there, cost of living is rather high. My in-laws live 30 minutes west of DC in VA. I love it there aside from prices

We just did a major relocation for my husbands job in DC from Cleveland to Manassas Park, VA. It is REALLY nice around here, schools are great. There is a high spanish population, but all of them are very nice. We were shocked at housing prices, but everything else seemed the same as Ohio. There are many churches around here, but we haven't visited them yet. The library in Manassas (Manassas Park is a small town just outside of Manassas which is much bigger) is okay, but I've only been to the branch. It was the equivalent of the smaller branches from my home. Once again, you probably will be shocked at housing prices, but you will get used to it. We are renting for $1700 a single family home. I think we kind of got a break on it. Expect to pay around that much for renting. To buy.....uh....there's no way we could do it. We picked Manassas from a map and a realtor. My husband takes the VRE train in to town every day. This has turned out to be a blessing...the train has been reliable and very near to us. It saves us a ton of gas on travel (and time). When we were moving I asked similar questions. A lot of people wrote about gangs being around the area. I am here to tell you that EVERYONE around here has been extremely nice and decent, and we have seen no signs of such goings on. If you would like to know more, please feel free to email me. We've only been here a few months, but I totally know what it is like to go through this. I have to say it has been such a great change for the better! PS: The weather has been SO beautiful!!

The tip or as it is called by locals Northern Virginia or No. Va is huge. Arlington and Fairfax Counties are consistently 2 of the best school systems in the Nation. There are many hospitals in No. Va but Fairfax Hospital in Fairfax County is unbeatable. It is ranked very highly by U.S News and World Report. I am from Fairfax County (the largest in No. Va and all of Virginia for that matter with over 1,000,000 residents.) and we have 21 libraries I used to volunteer at one and they are great. Depending on where you are coming from No. Va may be an adjustment and you may experience culture shock, because of the diversity, but that is what makes so No. Va amazing. The suburbs spread out forever around D.C so be ready for some major and I mean major traffic backups. Falls Church might be a great place to live they have their own school system (Falls Church Public Schools) and is close in to Washington, and is very historic. If you like shopping Tysons Corner is the way to go there are 2 malls with every store imaginable. Overall No. Va is an amazing place to live despite the gridlock. Hope this helps. P.S No. Va has a very low crime rate especially in Fairfax County is very low.

We just moved to Sterling, VA, which is right across the Fairfax Co. line into Loudoun Co. So far we are enjoying it. Very low crime rate, and right by the Dulles Town Center mall. I work in Sterling, but my wife drives to DC everyday. The traffic can get pretty bad, but she makes about 25 miles in 45 min. to an hour taking the toll road to the beltway. As was mentioned, the biggest shock has been the real-estate prices. We pay $1400/mo. for a 2br apartment, and we got a deal on that. If you are going to rent, expect to pay anywhere from $1400 to $2000 a month. Average cost of a house is just under a half-million. There is a large immigrant population in the area. If you enjoy diversity, then this is the place for you. Hispanic, East-Asian, and Middle-Eastern are the largest groups I have encountered.

traffic sucks.. there is always traffic on 95. the area is nice but cost of living is high. lots of parks, schools, and hospitals. Fairfax is the best hospital. Potomac hospital sucks. if you get sick in the night you might as well wait until the morning togo to the doctors because you will be sitting there all night long anyway.Plenty of big libraries. Public transportation also.

Traffic sucks and it's way expensive to live. Many people end up moving to Fredericksburg or Stafford and commuting an hour or more to DC.

What do you think of lobbyists paid by foreign governments working in Washington
What do you think of lobbyists paid by foreign governments working in Washington?
Canada has oil company lobbyists trying to alter US laws so they can sell us more oil China pays Americans to lobby Washington to lighten up on China's human rights record Israel pays hundreds of millions to thousands of lobbyists each year to make sure the US doesn't later it's foreign policy.... In other words, America's politicians are being wined dined and their palms greased each day by foreign interests, both Democrat and Republican. Does this bother you?

I think lobbying should be illegal
5 :
In 2008 the lobbyists and corporations donated $3.2 billion* to the House and Senate members. Last year the amount is suppose to be $3.7 billion*. that's millions t each ne of them. they can use the cash to get reelected, hire family members t "manage" the money for $100,000, hire them to campaign and a host other tings legally. The party in the majority always gets a 55-45 split of the money so right now the Democrats are getting the extra 10$. ONe sad thing is that the chairmen of committees normally get the most donations from whatever industry they are suppose to be keeping in line. Like Sen. Baucus over the health care deal and got millions from the insurance folks and drug guys. Got to laugh as the law firms gave over $300 million. You can go to the below site and put in a name and find out how much they had donated, from whom and how they voted. Sadly this ha been going on for a long time and it's legal. now who should they represent us paying them about a hundred and half grand a year or the lobbyists paying them millions? It should bother everyone, but the House and Senate members set it up this way, i guess while we were not looking. Hey President Obama campaigned on stopping it, guess he has been busy. Have a great 2010!

It should be a federal offense for any government official to accept campaign contributions or perks, either directly or indirectly from ANY foreign government or their lobbyists, friend or foe. In my mind it is treason. Does it bother me? This is the most important issue facing America today. I actually don't think there would be a war on terror right now if an anti-foreign lobbyist law had been enacted 50 years ago. Thomas Jefferson warned us 200 years ago about the danger of foreign entanglements. Look at link below for list of America's most powerful lobbies... Our representatives need to be for AMERICA FIRST.
