It's not the businesses in the cities that are the problem. It's the city governments.
And who votes for the people who create the city governments?

Between our high tech industry and the aerospace industry, namely Boeing, there are a lot of doe-eyed 20-30 yr old geeks with unrealistic, utopian dreams and ZERO real world experience. They idolize people like Gates, Jobs, Bezos, Zuckerberg, and any other douchebags that promises them the moon in return for supporting and selling their country and their soul to the liberals. I just can’t get too worked up about those that are crying and screaming over the situation they’ve created. Get 20 miles or more out of Seattle and it’s quite a different world. We’re about 65 miles northwest of Seattle and since we don’t watch the news I had no idea what was happening in the city, I heard it here first. 😁
Like most states Washington is no different. Our cities are ruled by communists and homos who don’t follow the laws or even common sense for that matter while our rural areas (most of the state is rural) suffer the consequences of liberal policies. The liberals rule by emotion and white guilt fuels their animosity. They blame whitey for everything and absolve the criminal element, especially the black criminal element of any wrongdoing because it’s more politically expedient for them to fan the flames of hatred and racial divisions than it is to hold criminals responsible.
I’ve grown up in Washington and for that I’m thankful. It’s a beautiful state that had endless opportunities for outdoor recreation. We can hunt Blacktail, Mule Deer, Whitetail, Rocky Mountain and Roosevelt elk, moose, goats, Desert, California and Rocky Mountain Bighorn sheep.....that’s just our big game opportunities. We’re in the Pacific flyway so waterfowl hunting can be great. We can hunt pheasant, Mountain quail and California quail, chukar, Hungarian partridge, spruce, blue and ruffed grouse. Then there’s saltwater fishing! All 5 salmon species, steelhead, halibut, lingcod, various species of rockfish and when summer comes and the currents are favorable we get some interesting warm water gamefish like Albacore tuna, Yellowtail and on rare occasions Marlin. I’ve never seen one caught here but have a high school friend that runs a big charter boat out of Westport and he occasionally spots them on the surface, usually during a strong El Niño year. From coastal rainforest to high desert and everything in between Washington enjoys a biological diversity that most other states don’t.
With all the opportunity here for the outdoorsman it’s a shame that our state has become what it’s become. I pray that the pendulum swings back to the right because it’s obvious that the liberal road we’ve been on leads to a dead end. I feel bad for the conservatives that are stuck in the city. I pray that in my lifetime I’ll see that once beautiful city, a city surrounded by mountains (real mountains), situated on the Puget Sound and flanked by Lake Washington and Lake Union. Ferries are part of life and the daily commute for many people, they’re also a beautiful and relaxing way to spend a half hour or so of your morning commute drinking coffee and reading the paper. Life in this state ain’t bad but it could be better. I think we’ll eventually see a nationwide “reset”, perhaps after Civil War part 2. A reset is precisely what is needed to fix the damage that 30++ years of liberal policies have wrought on our beautiful state.
