Greetings! I just moved to the free state of Texas from Washington which has just gotten too crazy the past 10 years or so. I grew up in the Midwest and my wife's family lives down here so, once we decided to pull the trigger to flee WA, Texas made the most sense. My LTC status just changed to "mailed" so looking forward to being able to buy a firearm without oppressive rules. I refused to buy any new guns in WA once they started passing "assault weapons" laws and state registries. It's great to be in a state with some common sense and where everyone is so nice!

I was in Seattle in 2012 and nothing but hipsters all over the City. Is it still like that? Made Austin look like kindergarten school.

Doug Giles observation in Seattle allowed him to write a book on the hipsters there.

Welcome!

May I ask whereabouts in Washington you are from? I'm guessing not eastern Wa.

Being that I was born and lived on and off in or around Seattle for a good part of my life, I can tell you that it's not the same since the influx of Californians in the 90's.

I had several family members, cousins, uncles and aunts, move to Washington in the 60s to work on the Breeder Reactor FFTF. We visited them several times, and it seemed like a pretty nice place. Long drive from here. They all bailed out when the project petered out. Pretty much said it had already gone to shit from the damn Kali Commie migration, and their gang banger kids.

Thus what created the "Hipsters"

Ohhhhh. Did dps actually gave you a drivers license? Kidding. Welcome to Texas. But seriously folks in Washington are terrible drivers.

Welcome. Glad you understand you’re a refugee and not a missionary!

Absolutely! WA wasn't really that bad when I moved there in 2001. But they followed California down the rabbit hole.

I didn't even have to take a test!

It is a lot like San Fran, tents everywhere, tourists getting stabbed. I lived on the east side of Lake Washington and none of the "east siders" go to Seattle anymore. We used to go to the theater or a brewery, but I haven't been to downtown Seattle for almost a decade. And that was just at the convention center for work.

The Seattle metro area (east side of the lake). I lived in Kenmore for the past 10 years. I worked in Redmond, and had lived in Bothell and Renton over the past 20+ years.

Because they know people from Oregon and Washington can’t read.

Woah before you get your Douglas fir bunched up, I’m from Oregon.

Know them well. I have lived in Edmonds, Queen Anne Hill, Ballard and more recently Port Orchard and Belfair (worked in Bremerton). A have also lived in the Tri-Cities during the 80's.
