10 Surefire Ways To Always Spot A Tourist In Washington
Wondering if someone is a born-and-raised Washingtonian or if he or she has just stepped off a plane from a far off land? In a state as diverse as ours, it can be tough to tell. But these 10 things are usually decent indicators that you’re in the company of tourists.
