RE: quality of living... How does 50% more sunshine, less traffic and lower taxes equate to a poor standard of living? Enjoy living under your wet soggy rock! I left Seattle 5 years ago for South Carolina, so I know what I'm talkin' bout Willis. Hey Talton, if the earthquakes and volcanic eruptions don’t kill you a hurricane will.

The difference is state attitude. Washington wants to eat its cake and have it too. They want all the social programs you can imagine, they want big business to pay for it. I'll express it this way Boeing: "We would like to put a new plant in your state, Washington" Washington: "Really? That's great! You need to put in XYZ off ramp, pay to upgrade the local educations system, pay for environmental impact studies, pay for this and pay for that. We're sure you'll want to pay for all this overhead, because we are so virtuous and worthy" Boeing: "We would like to put a new plant in your state South Carolina." South Carolina: "What do you need? Tax breaks? Roads? Training funds? Improved airstrip? Help cutting through Federal regulations? We are at your disposal." This is why Washington and California are losing highpaying industry jobs hand over fist and they just don't get it. The difference is not so much the union’s although that is part of it.

I’ll express it this way

Boeing: “We would like to put a new plant in your state, Washington”

Washington: “Really? That’s great! You need to put in XYZ off ramp, pay to upgrade the local educations system, pay for environmental impact studies, pay for this and pay for that. We’re sure you’ll want to pay for all this overhead, because we are so virtuous and worthy”

Boeing: “We would like to put a new plant in your state South Carolina.”

South Carolina: “What do you need? Tax breaks? Roads? Training funds? Improved airstrip? Help cutting through Federal regulations? We are at your disposal.”

This is why Washington and California are losing highpaying industry jobs hand over fist and they just don’t get it.

They should have gotten the hints when the Seattle Supersonics pulled up and moved to...Oklahoma City! The Seatte Mariners have discussed moving (like to Charlotte) and the Seahawks considered moving to Los Angles (and have had discussions about it recently). The folks in Washington state need to get a clue their state has lost a lot of its lusture and now people want to get out. Awwww; we feel so sorry for the state of Washington..Bull****!!!
