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. The dark cloud of the so-called "Millionaires Tax" that is really in Income Tax …
An enabler of Illegal Immigration has reached the FO stage of FAFO. Washington is an immigration Sanctuary State, which "protects" illegal migrants from Federal authorities.

For much of this week, we have had what the weather guys call an “atmospheric river” bringing heavy rain to our area from that big water to our west, known as the Pacific Ocean. Here are some photos and videos showing our waters. First, Snoqualmie Falls. https://twitter.com/markskaggs10/status/1998898875147628652?s=46&t=AkJV8dX_RyhUKPG8uj0KNQ And here’s one from a helicopter. https://twitter.com/pnwconservative/status/1998872381176344595?s=46&t=AkJV8dX_RyhUKPG8uj0KNQ Note …
Last week's election was what normally happens in Western Washington. Since most elections in Seattle are between Leftists, and all-mail balloting, the vote counts take over a week, and even if the less-left candidate is in the lead after a couple of days, miraculously the farthest-left gains the most new votes (like close to 100% …

As is becoming normal, the news lately is full of tales of filth, trash, murder, miscarriages of justice, and censorship. First up, the new "Hate Crime Snitch Line" is now up and running.

In the last 20 or so years, a new phenomenon has arisen that has basically consigned conservatives in Western Washington to minority status, and that is the rise …

The State of Washington is divided by the North-South Cascade Mountains, a line of "extinct" volcanoes. The scare-quotes are real (see 1980's eruption of Mount St. Helens). The climate (in more ways than one) of each half of the state is dramatically different. The Western half is known as the "wet" half, due to the …
Today, just as forecasted, we got our first snowfall of the winter. It's really early for our area, and so far the snow isn't very heavy. Of course, the first thing I did this morning was get out my trusty iPhone and go out in the backyard to get some pictures. This is the east …
