On September 3rd, 1985 I started working for state of Washington in Pasco, for WUTC; working port of entry scales. They moved us to Marysville two years later under a promotion. It was so expensive there, that I requested a transfer to an opening in Wenatchee and moved on Christmas Day 1987. In 1993 I was to transfer to Kent or be laid off due to lack of funding. I commuted for one month until I could start with WSDOT on Oct. 4th, 1993, with no break in service. My first winter was staying at Stevens pass to plow snow, nights, and in 2003 I transferred to Striping from maintenance where we would stripe from Canadian border to below Othello in summers. Winter months I go back to maintenance to plow snow and work with maintenance. It was a good 35 years and I made a lot of friends, they gave me some good equipment to work with, and I enjoyed the medical insurance and leave benefits. I also am glad safety was such a concern for them and I have seen some beautiful areas of the state as well. So here is a short video called "I'm A State Worker" that I put together a few years ago.
What is the best American state to go sunbathing?
