Litzow (Incumbent R) is losing to Wellman (shitbag D) On the state house side, Rodne (incumbent R) is losing to Ritchie (Workers Party/Dem), and Paul Graves is just barely holding off Darcy Burner at the moment |

If we can't take the governors house then we need to maintain control of the house and senate!

I have lived in this state my entire 40 years and love it, but living in Thurston county is horrible. We now have to pay for our own septic systems every single year. Not to mention all the other bullshit that passed, a Conservative vote doesn't matter in this state when it comes to any state wide office. I would love to move to eastern Washington, but they are ruled by the idiot liberals on this side of the hill. My family and I are looking at property in Idaho and Montana right now. I have worked in the system to try and change it, and it's a losing battle. The whole west coast is lost to the liberals, this is a voting war and we are getting our asses handed to us by a bunch of freaks.
I would love to continue living here, but I can't give up my rights just because it's a beautiful place to look at. I hate this crap, I see many others looking at doing the same thing. |

I have just over 9 years left. The wife and I are looking at south east Alaska somewhere as a primary option. A few other ideas are also being discussed. She is a democrat and even she can't make any sense of what is going on in this state.

With democrats controlling the "vote count" did you really expect it to be honest?
Just look at the places they dominate and see how they went. Look at how they are reacting to the White House loss. We are not dealing with normal humans. ETA: I don't even think they are humans. Some sub-race that spawned from defective human DNA. |

On election night it looked like the State Senate was going to remain split with on rogue Dem aligning with Republicans. Did that get changed in late vote counting? I tried to find out but not having luck with my Googlization. Rob |

I think things won't have change much is basically the outcome for WA. It'll still be just barely on the cusp of democrats being able to get everything they want at the expense of everywhere not Seattle.

And their cry "reaction", the "majority" voted..... for this state. Question, that initiative for the higher min wage.... it also included provisions for sick leave. Silly question, if one works for a business (private or state govt) that has a sick leave policy, does this new initiative create a new sick leave "pool" to draw from? I read the actual bill language.....but.... the only part I saw was "employers may have a more generous policy" (paraphrased).... |

Just read an article about a daycare in Spokane sending out notices about raising their prices due to the minimum wage law. And of course people are "shocked" that this could be happening.

Determining our state's policies all by themselves. As far as the surprised, most people don't have any grasp on basic economic theory. Money comes from the Tooth Fairy and businesses are expected to absorb cost increases without passing them along to customers. |

Let's not forget rents also going up when the landlords start passing the increased property taxes to "finance the public transit".
How much was the estimated average? Around $600/year? |

The ST3 website claims: "For renters, this conservatively assumes $47 as the median cost passed on by a landlord." That's an annual figure per person in the apartment. Looking at some higher end apartments in Seattle, that figure is about right. One apartment complex in Seattle with 121 units was assessed at $39,000,000, which figures to roughly $30/per apartment per year. The "bullshit" number that ST3 put out was $169/year. Of course, that is PER PERSON, and based on the following averages: $5,333 median value of vehicles in the Sound Transit District. (we have that many shit-wagons on our roads to bring the average down that far??) $360,658 median assessed value for homes in the Sound Transit District $73,359 median household income level. Adjust those numbers for your own situation, and the tax bill can climb to $600 PER PERSON in your household! Two adults = $1,200. How about a rich couple that lives in Medina with their $125MM house? Looking at another $20,000 per person, and that's only because the Sales Tax estimator stops at $130,000 in income. but their filthy rich, so what's another $40,000 in taxes annually..... |

I'm just waiting for the little heads to explode once again when they start blaming the tech industry again for the increased rents "that force the artists, elderly and fragile" from the city. They have been complaining about "affordable housing" for a while. Let's see how the affordable gets more affordable. |

I am in the process of selling my rental houses and using the proceeds to buy rentals in Idaho.
It will take me a while to get things situated, eventually I will retire to Idaho and leave this pathetic state for good. I flatly refuse to live here after retirement. |

I don't blame anyone wanting to bail, just like I did from Kali 22 yrs ago, because the sh!t just keeps getting deeper. But that said, there us still some fight left in the right side of this state. Similar to what happened nationally, the progressive push in this state will FUBAR things pretty good, possibly even enough to swing it back politically. There are still a few yellow dog D's in the state, do there's that. We're not entirely off in the weeds yet. It's mainly Seattle. ST3 might be the proverbial bridge too far, like the ACA has been to the nation. People only have so much $ to spare. Take enough away, & they might just get a response. The damn thing isn't even supposed to be running until ~25 yrs from now, & that's probably an optimistic projection. I'm sure everyone will love paying for nothing for yrs to come. My only question is if, when it finally does start running, will it supplant the monorail as the new tourist trap, because that's about what it'll amount to. Meanwhile, I-5 will still be a parking lot. |
