Eastern Washington is Republican and conservative. The citizens east of the Cascades would be happy to join Greater Idaho is a way is found to do it.
That’s what I hear, but that has not been my experience. I have work colleagues in the rural areas outside of Spokane who are as commie-Lib as it gets. My two cousins who grew up in the shadow of the Emerald City moved out the the rural southeastern part for the hunting, fishing and fire-fighting. Both work for the government, so they and all their friends are either apolitical or Democrats.
