Used to be conservative until the west side real estate boom of the late 70s made up mostly of Californians. Now King County (Seattle) alone controls the entire state.
A new boom is underway in that part of the State turning rural areas into housing tracks, shopping centers, introducing the joys of traffic gridlock on former rural roads and, housing prices doubling and tripling again. All this in a place where fresh water is relatively scarce dependent on snowfalls and top soil is measured in half inch increments.
Many newcomers worship at the alter of ‘sustainability,’ but live in an area where a sustainable population was passed decades ago.
