don't think you run into swap problems anywhere in WA (WA>CA btw)

just make sure you run a cat in certain countys when you go get smogged...

it's always a good Idea to run one, but I think the islands are under different restrictions.
I had a CRX that couldn't pass emissions, when I sold it on CL I noted that in the info and a guy came over from whidbey island and bought it saying they were less harsh over there. If anything run a resonator atleast and you should be fine if your car runs good. but keep the Cat just incase you fail and need to pass.

I remember hearing on the news that Gregoire(however you spell her name) wanted to change to a more strict emissions standard to that of California. So keep your stock exhaust people! This was a while ago and haven't heard anything since, but it's always food for thought

badass, hope ya like all the seasons! well the westside has a much milder winter then the eastside, last night we got like 5 inches and it's still coming down.... all the "legit" car meets are in seattle area, only a few shops/tuners on the eastside and mostly riced out accords, EFs, etc

cheap living and beautiful countryside make WA what it is

if you survived the american education system, you can go to community college

I think for the honda program you might need a dealership to sponsor you though... not 100%

No where in WA they do visual.

Also only Seattle area during emissions they might say something about no cat, but its very rare. When I had my integra I had a loud exhaust and no cat, no problem during emissions. Otherwise no one really cares except a few cops that like to use at as a reason to just pull you over about your loud exhaust.

The GREATEST thing about WA, the gun laws are more liberal, so you can own an AR-15 and bunch of other guns. Hella easy to obtain a gun handlers permit, and lots of gun shows to get cheap guns.........and the best part, lots of forest space to go out and shoot at stuff.
