My oldest son, who is more conservative than me had worked in the peoples republic of Wa for about one year. He warned me about what you have posted. He suggested that I take the Seattle Pravda for a few months. Then when we went to Wash. to use some questioning skills to find out how so many people in Wash. were so left wing!
After a week of Seattle Pravda, my eyes were opened. The next trip confirmed what you mention. We could not believe Seattle and the square of druggies, whores, and ? a few blocks east of where the ferry docked! Then even in Port Townsend and other areas on the penisula, the left wingers controlled the local government, news papers and were like thought control police. My son have labeled as the local Nazy Nannies, who try to control where and how we live, where we work, where we shop and how we breath and eat!
A friend had family members who had a big interest in one of Seattle's Pro Teams, bailed out due to what they called blatant commies in charge of Seattle!
When the anarchists and other eco terrorist were burning and destroying much of downtown Seattle, I got a phone call from my son. He said "Dad, turn on the tv to Fox News and see the confirmation of my wisdom a few years ago!"
We decided not move to Washington after or final trip to Port Townsend and the peninsula. We found the same cr@p rising to an untolerable level in Oregon. The radicals in Portland were controlling what was being done to the rest of the state. This article is prime proof. So we decided not to move! Of course now California has a totally out of control Facist enviral governor, Davis and a legislature like those in Oregone and Washington!
I feel for you! However, keep doing what you did to the piece of trash on the ferry! I'm doing the same here in Kalifornia!
