The 11 Ways You Know It's Fall in Seattle

In place of my usual NFL Picks this Wednesday, I will be giving and abbreviated post. The NFL Picks will come later in the week. But another happening prevents me from spending that time tonight. That happening will become apparent as the week progresses...

So, without further ado...

11. The number of car accidents has literally octupled because Seattle residents have forgotten that wet roads have a better than average chance of being slippery.

10. People are holding white paper Starbucks cups instead of clear plastic ones.

9. Mariners fans have said 'There's always next year' so often, they're starting to believe it.

8. Socks and sandals.

7. Cougars and Huskies fans can look forward to the Apple Cup (and not much else).

6. The leaves are turning shades of... Wait, this is the Evergreen State. Scratch that.

5. The Seahawks are well on their way to winning the NFC West. (As well on their way as any of their other division rivals. Boy, the NFC West sucks.)

4. You can tell the people who haven't lived here long because they're not only carrying but using their umbrellas to shield the rain.

3. Conversely, you can determine the people who have lived here a while; they're soaked.

2. The Seattle Supersonics are readying for another exciting year at the Key. They what? Really? No... You don't say. Umm, nevermind.

1. We have officially met our quota for summer days - defined as over 75 and sunny. All eleven of them.
