Twilight, Amazon Pickup Points and Ferries, Oh My! (#106)

#nerdbirds Kai & Rachel continue their discussions about the great state of Washington, going a bit further afield from the Seattle metro area to the north and west — into the northern Puget Sound islands, Bellingham, the exclave of Point Roberts and the majestic Olympic Peninsula. Hear about what’s it’s really like to live in the tiny town of Forks, thrust into the popular spotlight thanks to the Twilight series (which the author had never been to before writing the books!), and how geography gives you wild swings in just how much rainfall there is in pretty short distances.
