Not like, geographically, but more like law.
Like whats different in Washington that’s better or worse that’s legal or illegal?
I’m Moving From California to Washington State, and I would love to know what the laws are on age, and how old you have to be to buy certain things maybe that you cant buy in California, such as maybe, potassium nitrate, or even steel wool, or anything that I might need from a hardware store, but obviously, please don’t say anything federal, because those laws apply to the whole country, not just one state.

      Laws like you mention are usually uniform state-to-state. Take your parent or guardian with you the the first two or three times you purchase age limited products. After that shop in the same store and you will have less of a problem.

      in Washington you can tell the season by the Temperature of the rain.
      in California you can not tell the rain from the smog
      so do not expect me to help you make explosives with nitrate

      I considered laying out several hundred volumes of statutes and case law from each state and going through them bit by bit to see the differences, but have decided against that.

      I lived in California years ago. Calif., has state income tax, Wa., doesnt. Licsense for autos the tabs are renewed yearly. I believe in Calif., they last two years. Wa., you have to be 21 to drink or buy alcohol. Supplemental social security in calif., has a higher payment, even though it is federal, determined by state.
