This place was apparently designed by a drunk who was blindfolded and stood on his head, then spun around.

I understand the problems with streets into the hills except why they don't have signs. I know why the Copenhagen St. sign keeps disappearing, but if they attached a couple of live wires from the power pole, I'm sure it would stop.

And I understand why some of the roads disappear under silt in certain parts of the flood plain (esp after the floods).

On this side of the freeway, all streets end in SW, no matter which direction they go. On the other side of the freeway, Main St. W exactly parallels 2nd St. SW.

Old Hwy. 99 SE exactly parallels Wheeler St. N.

A street like 183rd can be broken into a dozen sections (dead-ends) and extend for a few miles. But a single length of road can have five different names.

Why would someone name one street Connor, and the next one O'Connor?

Triangles seem to be very popular in W. WA, since many towns are built on that design. Two right turns and you're back where you started, except you're now going the wrong way on a one-way street.

And the only local map is in the phone book.

Pack food and water when you travel around here!

(Portland is even worse -- I think there are only two places where you can make a left turn.)
