Beautiful, but definitely messed up.
The problem with OR ans WA is very similar. Two counties over on I5 control the state. Get away from Portland, Eugene, Olympia, Tacoma and Seattle and they are entirely different. Even Spokane is much different than the I5 areas that are now full of former California liberals.
Out in the rural parts of OR & WA are where the salt of the earth types live. People who work in the woods. People who work on ranches. People who hunt Elk, deer, goat, bear, sheep, mountain lions. People who fish for salmon, steelhead, etc.
