River flow volumes, as visualized by some guys at Pacific Institute, who explain:

Major rivers of the 48 contiguous United States, scaled by average flow where river symbols are proportional to the “gage-adjusted flow.” The symbols drawn here have widths proportional to the square root of the rivers’ estimated average annual discharge. Only rivers with discharge above 1,000 cfs are shown. Data from NHDPlus v2. Background map by ESRI.

idk what the Pacific Northwest river is called. probably either Washington or Vancouver though?

snake - colombia? idk, PNW people are big blood and soil ppl. how come i never hear them talk about these rivers. sounds fake.

Yeah, that’s the Columbia, drains snowmelt from the Rockies.

shouldn’t you be personifying her as a wet t-shirt babe more

Because the coastline is essentially mountains in the PNW, there’s no lazy delta at the Pacific mouth, it bursts through a gap carved out with such force it’s constantly carving and recarving channels through all the sediment it drops, making the approach (Portland is an inland port where the Columbia meets the Willamette, which drains the first-in-from-the-coast timber valley between the Coast and Cascade ranges) one of the more difficult in international shipping, there are locally knowledgeable pilots that’re helicoptered out to vessels to guide them through.

So, maybe more of a squirter?
