Since one square kilometer is about a third of a square mile, the 144,000 there is less than the 60,000 or so sq m in Washington state.
I can’t even imagine having 150 million people in Washington. The 5 or so we have is about 2 too many as it is!
The rough equivalent would be that instead of having one Seattle, there would be a HUNDRED of them spread across the state!
Astounding.
That sure would be astounding.
Thanks for giving a good sketch.
