I have a distinct lack of trust in both King and Snohomish counties.
Statewide here, Inslee declared emergency powers, but has yet to start anything.
Remember that big snowstorm a few years back in Seattle.
I was there on business—omg—as a New Englander I felt right at home. :-)
The mayor got voted out of office because of that snowstorm.
I didn’t like the guy, but I thought the Seattle folks were very hard on him—it was a rare event and the city wasn’t prepared—that is hardly surprising!
That is an example of what I am talking about here.
