Given the state you live in and who your governor is, I’m sure that day is coming. The rural Pacific West, trapped in blue States, want out. I'd like to see it happen. Leave Seattle, Portland, the Bay Area, LA, etc., to stew in their high tax, crime infested, liberal Dem juice, if that's what they want. Meanwhile, in traditional America.. Eastern Washington wants to form a new State of Liberty.. en.wikipedia.org Eastern Oregon wants to join Idaho.. oregonlive.com And Northern California and Southern Oregon would like to form a new State of Jefferson.. en.wikipedia.org When I travel in these areas, I find the sentiment to leave is strong. I completely sympathize and wish them success..

They tried it with the farmers in KC out Carnation/Duval way and had to pull it back. I assume the farming community has very good lawyers? As you know..............the area where we live is a major watershed and the piece down on the river is a riparian estuary. The EPA and county keep a very close eye on development, and they seem to resent the fact are using the water. They made us pay for an ecological study when we wanted to make some changes to the property. Recently they made the town put in meters. Thankfully we're designated rural and not part of the town.
