My kid brother and family live in S. Seattle, aka, DesMoines. They are surrounded by libtards.
We were in the same boat. Tons of retired Navy and Army folks up there, but west of the Cascade mountains is libs. The eastern side of WA is more conservative. Those folks hate Seattle and such because they are out voted on everything. They talked of their own state, but the libs quickly passed some bill outlawing the splitting up of the state. The good folks, even over around Bremerton, Silverdale, etc. around the Navy facilities and down in Tacoma there are lots of military, but still outvoted by the stinking commie. My wife lived nearly all her life in Seattle area. We were married back in the mid-90’s and then she wanted to leave. After she retired, we headed down here to Alabama. We are really happy here. Live in a nice home out in the country. This house would have cost us over $300 thousand out there. Here it was half that. Property taxes out there kill you. I mean KILL you. We were paying over $5,000 on a $175,000 home. It went up every year.
