Largely agree, except for Seattle as whites-only. It did exclude the
natives in many ways, but there was an African American presence here
pretty early on (albeit a small one) and Horace Cayton, Sr. was one of
the city's best-known citizens at a time where many cities lacked any
such thing as a well-known black citizen.

That "Cascadia (independence movement)"
Wikipedia article really goes out
of its way to censor any mention of the white supremacist connection to the
Cascadia movement. E.g.
http://crosscut.com/2015/07/hate-filled-zone-a-group-of-white-racists-wants…
Seems like anybody today who says "I don't need the Federal Government,
they never did anything for me" is probably white, middle class and
comfortably privileged. Having no Justice Department to force reform on the
Seattle Police Department wouldn't make any difference to the white people
of the city; the problems with the police department weren't affecting them
to begin with. I'd have a different attitude if the people of Seattle had
been clamoring to clean up police abuse and it was the Feds holding them
back. But Seattle was doing nothing and Justice had to sue to drag a
reluctant Seattle to do anything about it. Or take away the Federal
Government and the Washington is going to rush in and shut down the casinos
and everything else on the reservations. Tribal sovereignty, such as it is,
comes from Washington DC, not Olympia.
I guess it's like when I hear a phrase like "America First" I can't
help
but think of Charles Lindbergh's fascist enablers. Cascadia triggers the
same reaction from me. It sounds nice at first, but under the surface it
looks ugly., and it's got some old connotations that are hard to forget.
It's like a nice way of saying "states rights". It makes me think of
people
who want to return Oregon to a whites-only state, or Seattle to the
whites-only city it was originally founded as.
Just saying.

Thanks Bruce. I talk regularly with
<http://www.cascadianow.org/>
and have been asking about their capacity to be a nonprofit outreach
partner for the wiki chapter.
I will raise this issue with them, because perhaps they can help develop
the article.
yours,

Hi WMF Analytics,
It would be interesting to know where all this traffic is originating. Do
we have a way of tracking back the origin of Wikipedia pageviews to
particular sites or pages?
It would also be interesting to get a geographic picture of where this
traffic is originating.
