Eastern WA wants to lose Western WA (but not the coastal areas) just as badly as eastern OR wants to lose western OR. (Coastal OR is considerably more built-up than coastal WA, so there's some question there.) Same exact rural vs urban problems. I propose that the simplest/best solution is to form ONE new State: Portlandia, which would contain the whole Salem-to-Bellingham high-density strip, including Portland and Seattle. I name I chose for it should be obvious. -- Jim _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
