United States Evergreen State (WA St) Thread 😉😉😉😉😉😉

[Jeff Thomas]

I live in the Seattle suburbs. I've been here since 1963, except for a few years going to school in Eastern Washington. I love this state, but our politics are a mess. Seattle dominates King County, and King County dominates the state. And Seattle will elect anything with a D after the name. Effectively its a one party state -- and I'd complain about that no matter which one party it was. Politicians need to be forced to defend their positions. That doesn't happen in an echo chamber.

On the plus side we do have the museum of Flight and some really cool coast defense forts.

Now that the elections are over, do you think the violent crime will get stopped in Seattle ?

There never was any violence in Seattle, unless it was perpetrated by outside right wing extremist agitators. All protests in Seattle are peaceful expressions of personal opinions. People had a great time roasting marshmallows (vegan of course) over burning police cars.

If they could they would blame the upcoming earthquake on the Right Wing, when it hits Seattle.

Big question is whether we'll see more businesses flee Seattle in droves ?

if their political leadership dies maybe not, their leaders are much more destructive then any earthquake.

You really do not get how bad a Cascadia megaquake could be for Seattle and Puget Sound.

Like, normally I'm ok with political hyperbole, and Seattle's Dem leadership is horrendous.

But the Cascadia megaquake would liquefy most of the ground under Puget Sound and the Northwest coast, lead to tsunami's over 100 feet high, and could easily set off Rainer or other Cascadia volcanoes in the months afterwards due to shaking their magma chambers so hard, just to name the top level effects that would cause a lot of problems down the road.
