I live in eastern Washington, which is mostly conservative. However, King, Pearce, and Snohomish counties, which are west of the Cascade mountains, rule the state. They are heavily liberal. I consider Seattle to be the northernmost suburb of San Francisco. We in eastern Washington have long wished to secede from Washington state.
The last time that I was at the University of Wa. they had an area called "Red Square". The bulletin boards were all covered with leftist, whacko, commie crap.
