Ah, the good ole PNW, known for its beautiful landscapes, fidelity to craft beer, and gloomy yet inspiring weather. It's the perfect place to play grunge music, get really into coffee, and stare out the window pretending you're in a music video.

I'd venture to say that the Pacific Northwest is an underrated part of the country. The more populous coasts get all the buzz, the midwest gets the jokes, and the south is famous the world over for its barbecue and funny accents. But people overlook the other part of the west coast. Sure, it's not as flashy, but it has an incredible cultural output of its own right and a strong sense of self. We have the PNW to thank for Nirvana, Portlandia, Twilight, and Starbucks. And if you don't appreciate at least one of those things, I don't believe you. So put on your raincoat and your beanie, hop into your Subaru, and let's get to memeing.
