Cool! If you've been in Florida you'll appreciate Washington's lack
of
a state income tax. Oregon has no state sales tax. Some Washingtonians
do complain about the Californians who have discovered the place and
driven up property prices. :-)
Yes, I live in Florida now, lived in California before this, and have
visited Washington and Oregon a few times. I find Oregonians to be
annoyingly insular, as a species, though of course there's a fair number
of individuals there with whom I've gotten along famously.
. . . and this is WAY off-topic, so I'll shut up about that.
