I agree about Washington. I think the spirituality was there with the Native Americans -- Chief Seattle, etc.

(2,145 posts)Lots of tech and more coming. Google opening four new big buildings in Seattle. We have a socialist on our city council who was the whole reason we got a $15 min wage in Seattle. But our population is growing too fast and housing is ridiculously expensive. We have our problems. Lots of homelessness. I imagine any growing city has blue collar jobs if your expertise is in the right area. Lots of building.

(11,945 posts)Working from ancient memories,
The western part is rainy, overcast, very green, beautiful mountains, great hiking, rugged coastline, rainforest, idyllic islands, nice cities and towns -- major urban area is Seattle-Tacoma. Seattle is charmingly hilly with lakes all over the place, a good university, the beautiful Puget Sound and an interesting waterfront with the wonderful Pike Street Market.
The central part is flatter, less rainy and overcast, much drier terrain, apple orchards, rural feel.
The eastern part is like high desert, amazing plateaus, quite rugged.
I may have missed a lot there, but it's something to start from, anyway.

(2,145 posts)WA State has a lot of red counties and probably a lot of centrist democrats. I'm true blue and a lot of us are. votesparks - do you know a Marcia?

(18,775 posts)King County includes Redmond & Bellevue, home of Microsoft. I could definitely see that area going for Third Way Democrats. My neighborhood north of downtown Seattle had a pretty strong showing of Clinton supporters (1/3 of the precinct). Interestingly, all but one Clinton supporter expressed admiration for Sanders but believed that Clinton has the better chance of winning and 'getting stuff done' in office. The lone Clinton supporter was an obnoxious 'Sanders isn't even a Democrat' type.

(2,145 posts)our mayor was all in for Hillary. He's very establishment and very pro big-money and development Scary I think.

I'm happy but 80% would be sweet

(2,543 posts)I'm in King Co. so I knew it was never a question here of the outcome, only the margin. But at least at my precinct there were MANY uninformed voters who went for HRC because WOMAN! Because BILL! Because NAFTA IS GOOD! (except they forgot about all those Boeing jobs that pulled up and went to right-to-work states and the airline maintenance contracts that went to Central America).
