If tree-ring analysis is correct and core samples all up and down the coast... The Cascadia subduction zone is due to pop. BAM! That’ll wake them up

I didn't think Washington State had a reputation for la belle weather.

Well, east of the Cascades it does. And over here I don’t think I saw one sign supporting this referendum, although there are a few climate nuts here including at the National Laboratory PNNL.

Well, that may be true. Put the libs and commies made gains in that initiative 1639 passed, which basically guts the Second Amendment to the Constitution. I would look to that to go to the Supreme Court of the United States. It is totally and completely unconstitutional.

Oops...I guess Washington citizen knew their Starbucks would Get More Expensive.

The very idea suggests the question of whether it is time to divide the west coast into six states -

coastal West California deliniated as the populous California coastal counties alone, from Los Angeles up to but no further than San Francisco, and East California deliniated as the rest of the California counties;

and Western Oregon deliniated as the counties west of Wasco straight down to west of Klamath with Eastern Oregon deliniated as all the counties included from Wasco straight down to Klamath and the counties east of them;

and Western Washington deliniated as the counties of Whatcom, Skagit, San Juan, Island, Snohomish, King Pierce, Lewis, Skamania and the counties west of them, and Eastern Washington deliniated as all the present Washington state counties east of the aforementtioned ones.

The problem with these ideas are that while you get “your own” reprsentatives, it may not always change the net representatives a group now has in the U.S. congress, but just change them from a minority set of districts in their present state to a majority in the new state, but not necessarily “more” in the House of Representatives.

Then you have to factor how more states adds two additional Senators each, and THAT is the one area where the “new” states could gain representation in Washington D.C. The present Washington, Oregon and California senators would not likely see a change of political affiliation in the new states of western California, Oregon and Washington, while each of the new states cleaved from them would get their own two senators and there is where the political weight in Congress could tend to become greater with the “smaller” (less populous) states.

Is any of this practicle? Not likely in my opinion.

All along the I5 corridor from Washington state to southern Oregon the Douglas fir trees are dying. Many say it is the drought, which makes sense, they need lots and lots of water to live, but they also need CO2, maybe the clamp down on our CO2 in the air is the true culprit of the dead and dying trees of the PNW?

Just visited my friend in San Juan county on the island of San Juan, it is so beautiful, alot of leftys there. You have to focus on the scenery and fun, don't mention Trump while visiting.
