Oh God, that's terrible. Washington State is one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen with some of the friendliest people.

I always got this impression, I know some people who hail from there and they're so far above and beyond the typical representation of an American we see :laugh: NW USA is probably where I'd most want to go if I got the opportunity.
