I can’t find it now, but on the “nextdoor” app for my Seattle suburb there was something like a “Climate Change Anxiety Workshop”. Something about both passive (meditation, yoga, etc.) things and also active things (driving less, politics, etc.) to help ease the terrible emotional impact that climate change can have.

Also a long conversation about the looming ban on the sale of “assault weapons” which after 16 attempts (over 20 years) it seems the Washington State legislature will soon get.

And, Gov. Inslee is still operating under “emergency powers” due to Covid - so once the state senate approves the bill (in a week or two!) it goes to the governor, he signs it, and that same day it becomes law. No more sales of “assault weapons”. (Will include tube-fed .22 rifles, shotguns with a front hand grip, any gun with a threaded barrel at the end, etc.)

People are also blaming the energy company on our huge increase in the monthly bill (due to Inslee’s climate change tax on natural gas - but most of the liberals blame the gas company for “gouging us”).

Also huge complaints on our property taxes which has sky-rocketed.

As soon as we can retire we will be leaving this sorry state and moving to some conservative part of the country.

Is there the same movement in the eastern half of Washington State that we see in Oregon with the 13 conservative counties trying to join Idaho?

“Climate Change Anxiety Workshop”.

Sounds like a bunch of idiots that sit around smoking and discussing the latest connoisseur bud available in town.

I visited Seattle 40 years ago and it was a beautiful city. My daughter works there now and it is a cesspool like most west coast cities
