Let’s Start with the Billionaires.

Most of us can’t fathom a billion dollars – but these residents of Washington State can. They have been acknowledged on the Forbes 2024 Billionaires list. I’m sure you’ll recognize the first – but do you recognize them all?

Go Melinda and MacKenzie! How cool to see such successful ladies make such a prestigious list!

Who all attended School in Washington State? Surely there are notable names.

Let me just say, Jeffery Dean Morgan, omg! He’s a dream. I remember when he played in Grey’s Anatomy, holy lord was I crushing on him hard. And then his character died, and came back as a ghost. Like come on, him dying was sad enough, and then we had to be teased with him coming back as a ghost?! Couldn’t Meredith Grey help find a solid cure for him? Huh? Ok, I’m going off, but still I said what I said and I stand behind it.
