Man, the general concensus seems to be that the Pac. NW consists of a majority of wierdos. Growing up in AZ, there was a joke that California was "the land of the fruits and nuts." Maybe all the Californians moved north and all the Mexicans have moved to their north as well.
And this notion of organized resistance and protests, etc. to people moving in and "californicating" Washinton - wow. I bet the majority of these protesters would consider the same type of protesting against foreign immigration to be one of the cardinal sins. Whatever, it won't be the first time I've felt the "you ain't from around here" syndrome (having moved from Tucson to a relatively small town in Minnesota - with a bald head at the time). Actually, when we were checking out our probable new town Bainbridge Island, we were very surprised that we didn't run into any of the sort of resistance I'm hearing of. People seemed pretty genuine and welcoming even when they heard we're moving there. Maybe they've got their own version of "Minnesota Nice" (which, we've found, is skin-deep - be nice face to face, and thus gather a bunch of information to be used in gossip sessons later).
