Yep. I moved out to Maple Valley in '91 when it was still redneck rural King Co. Just left commie WA for Texas a year ago. We also lived in Eastern/Central WA which was good people but the problem is the sate is run by the commies in Seattle and Olympia and Bellingham. My job forced me to have to drive into Seattle a couple times a week for meetings with architects and other, contractors from my office in Auburn and the last four or five years I absolutely hated it. "Homeless (druggies)" everywhere, no place to park, and traffic is ridiculous. Also most of the aforementioned folks I had to meet with were almost all flamings libs and would have had their heads explode if they knew I was carrying concealed. Capital hill, the recent CHAZ/CHOP site has always been a liberal shit hole. There is/was a lot of "old money" in Seattle and I met a few over the years and most were somewhat apolitical as far as I observed. Most of them still there are likely big libs and live in very expensive gated communities like Broadmoore or Seattle country club so they don't have to mix with the riff-raff other than to drive to their high rise office or Nordstroms. I actually did the mechanical on Jim Nordstrom's 24th floor condo many years ago.
Anyhow, it's really sad. Seattle really is a beautiful city but it's been ruined by commie politics. What's interesting is if you drive across the lake to Bellevue, it's very affluent as well and well run/policed and still somewhat of a Republican stronghold but it's changing as well to more lib.
