Reply to How conservative is coastal southwest Washington compared to Eastern Washington? by PinkSwallowLove
I live in red Benton county. Judging by social media comments we have some very mean spirited people here (cheering or wishing natural disaster on the west side for example). Also lots of the law doesn't apply to me types. And then the conspiracy nuts. I think there are less of those in the west side counties.

A co worker did this for migraines that were intermittent. You have to work out your schedule. FmLA just guarantees your job, it doesn't guarantee your pay.

My son had gas heat when he lived in Spokane. It really wasn't cheaper and was just another bill to keep track of.

Fail to see how it adds cost to construction. Its much more costly to retrofit. Plus when the sale price is $400-500k of the new home, whats another $20k for heat pump system. Keep it in perspective. I dont see where its much less to put in gas you still have to install ducting throughout the house.

Reply to Tiffany Smiley Ad by [deleted]
What people should believe from these ads is that Tiffany Smiley doesn't have any understanding of how government works and therefore has no business running. (And she's not talking about the Canadian border she's complaining about the Mexican border.)

Well golf courses and hair salons can be seen as unnecessary whereas land management definitely is necessary. I think thats the point.

We get more than two choices in the primary and then we narrow it down. Recall that there were about dozen people running for senator from mostly make believe parties.

Ranked choice voting fixes this. I dont like it when you end up with two from the same party to vote for either.

Not on the east side of the state. Dry is normal for us, the high temps are just about 10-12 degrees higher than usual.

Adjusting school schedules is not the fix. Now you have parents that have to adjust all of THEIR jobs for a handful of bus drivers. Get your city transit to run a few routes. That's what they did for awhile in Richland. Or it wouldn't kill the little darlings to walk.

East of the cascades we are in a rain shadow so a lot of weather gets blocked by the mountains. I wouldn't call it high desert though ... one because it is technically not desert, and two it is geographically not high in elevation. It is common to get 100+ in summer and 10F in winter. The humidity is low so the heat doesn't feel as bad as humid places. Because of the rain shadow average snowfall is only about 10 in here in the Columbia basin where I live (the lowest and hottest part of the state) but more snow the further north you go. We brag about 300 days with sunshine here, though probably not all day on some of those days lol. The overcast times generally do not produce rain. We do occasionally get some pretty good winds that knock down trees and power lines but nothing close to tornado level. I find it blessedly free from natural disaster risks.
