The counties that make up Western Washington, dominated by Seattle-majority King County, have drawn the entire state toward the Hard Left for decades. This tendency has accelerated lately, with big corporations and small businesses closing down or leaving the state entirely.

What’s up with Education in Seattle, and the rest of Washington State?
Aside from the fact that Seattle teachers are very well-paid, with generous benefits that no one in the private sector can match, the state of Education is parlous all over Washington. In spite of their great pay packages, Seattle teachers still wait until the last moment before school starts to vote on their union packages, …

Guest Author: Judi, @DeafLibertarian on Deaf Culture.
I have followed this lady for almost as long as I have been on X/Twitter, and I really value what she has to say. I have been aware of "Dead Culture" for a lot longer, and Rush Limbaugh definitely encountered it when he went profoundly deaf in adulthood. He got some pushback from the Deaf …
