Heck...if that's their criteria, Western Washington qualifies without a doubt! The Seattle-Tacoma area nails the bad end of those figures on pretty much everything.
The rest of the state....not so much. Then again, if you look at the 2016 county-by-county election map, you'll see that the stressed-out areas voted Democrat, while the rest of the state voted Republican.
Ergo...want stress? Vote Democrat!
Some people handle stress better than others. I find myself getting more irritable and impatient with morons these days and have looked for ways to avoid the obvious stress.
Yeah, I’d put The Soviet of Washington in the top ten.
