"No exciting referendums or initiatives on the ballot, no Governor or presidential races, and a state where many people have gotten used to the idea it doesn’t matter if they vote, democrats like Murray get auto vote back into office every time."

Maybe this is why the even-year elections initiative is on the ballot...

All of this plus those that don’t vote automatically for (d)s really really really motivated… could be the makings of some pretty big upsets out there. Would not be surprised if come Wednesday morning there are a ton of shocked faces in western Washington.

Being aa realist though, it probably won’t happen, at least in Murray’s case, but as far as Washington politics goes, really one word comes to mind… complacency.

Natural you should feel penalized as the contract you signed stated that you would be for contract violation. Your landlord can not prevent your moving nor force you to pay money without taking civil action. That you "feel forced" to break a lease to take advantage of a better job opportunity rather than making a free choice to do so seems a bit distorted.

As someone who drives from the Tacoma-area to Port Angeles on a regular basis, the posters saying it's 104 are correct. If you use this link in Street View and face towards the 101 junction, you can see the blue signs on the right side of the road. The individual signs say:

>Foresters plant
forests anew
so future generations
will have forest, too

Last sign is STATE TRUST LANDS, managed with care (DNR?)
