Yeah the Sequim gas pump lines were almost into the access road last week, all old people too...they do a lot of things slower.
Just sayin'

This popped up in my news feed. I can relate on the traffic. Cars yesterday had the one of the main entrances to the store clogged up while waiting in line to get to the pumps at the Shoreline store.

That location is just terrible. Never have I been there and thought "this isn't bad". Fortunately the Lynnwood location is closer to me and not as hectic.
 
I fuel up & do my grocery shopping at 0 dark thirty. I don't like crowds, lines & a lot of people in general.

Prior to retirement, I used to grab lunch a couple times a week at Fred Meyer. They put in a row of Tesla chargers at this particular store. It was always fun watching the people jockey for position to get the next available charger. They did the same thing at Trader Joe’s and it gets crowded with people waiting for an open charger.

I wired up my son's charger at his Sunriver house, took a few hours. Folks I know driving E's all have home chargers. Likely the condo and apartment dwellers without. Still, never know when you need extra...

Yep, likely apartment or condo residents. Most are Teslas as well.
