Did you know that Chuck lives further inland than I do?

You must live on or pretty close to the beach.
As the crow flies, I'm about a mile and a half from Puget Sound.
Of course that's considered an "inland" waterway, so a lot might
depend on how "inland" is defined. Sort of like the definition of
"is", you know. :-)

Was thinking of the ocean. That's roughly 100 miles as the crow flies, isn't
it.

It's about 35 nm or so from Seattle to the eastern end of the Strait
of Juan de Fuca, where "inland waters" officially begin. But, if you
want to stipulate the western coastline of the state as point where
inland begins, 100 crow fly miles would be a decent guesstimate.
