I just got off the phone with one of my favorite people, who is from the Washington D.C. area, and we got into a conversation about what we call ourselves. , "the same."

While working on cruise ships there weren't a ton of American crew members so I went from saying Washington State to Seattle, to make it easier for everyone. Most of the crew members I ran into always assumed it was Washington D.C. Like that's the only one. NOT!

I checked online and there are only a handful of names for Washington residents. You can find them below on the poll and I would love for you to add yours. Growing up in Washington State, I would consider myself a real Washingtonian, do you?

Besides what Washingtonians call themselves I would say there are a few more tell-tale signs you're from the West Coast or the East Coast of Washington.

Washington State

  • Doesn't matter if it's raining, we would rather wear a hoody or a Northface jacket than carry an umbrella.
  • Coffee shops on every corner, and we still will act like we can't find one close enough

Washington D.C.

  • You might not even own a car because you take the subway, train, or taxi cab
  • You're wearing a business suit during happy hour

LOOK: Here are the 50 best beach towns in America

Every beach town has its share of pluses and minuses, which got us thinking about what makes a beach town the best one to live in. To find out, Stacker consulted data from WalletHub, released June 17, 2020, that compares U.S. beach towns. Ratings are based on six categories: affordability, weather, safety, economy, education and health, and quality of life. The cities ranged in population from 10,000 to 150,000, but they had to have at least one local beach listed on TripAdvisor. Read the full methodology here. From those rankings, we selected the top 50. Readers who live in California and Florida will be unsurprised to learn that many of towns featured here are in one of those two states.
