Actually, we are in very conservative eastern Washington State. We just had a good friend move to Texas and she thinks it’s more liberal there!!!! Take care.
If she moved to Austin, she's right, it's VERY liberal. Dallas is a bit less liberal and the valley (farm and ranch country along the Texas-Mexico border) is also pretty liberal. The rest of the state is relatively conservative.
I've been to the western side of Washington state, but never made it east of the Cascades.
Take care< steve, and thanks again, for a good discussion.
