I'm about 150 miles west. Very red, but with a hardy blue contingent.

Our congressional district was combined with Issaquah, a suburb of Seattle, and we elelcted a super Dem congresswoman, Dr. Kim
Schrier, in 2018. 1st Dem from here in YEARS!!

Article fails to mention attempt led by Shea for E. Washington to break off from W. Washington and create its own state of “Liberty.“

Makes my blood run cold!
