Six of them, I think.

Carson City, NV
Sacramento, CA
Salem, OR
Olympia, WA
Juneau, AK
Honolulu, HI

Boise, ID is pretty close, but I think its just a bit east of Los Angeles.

Depends on how far West you go... It gets a little slim over that whole Eurasia area, but it picks up again around Newfoundland.

Yep, looking at an atlas, Carson city's west of LA.  

Another geography trick question....what's the easternmost state?

Bingo.... one or two of the Islands in the Aluetians is on the other side of the date line if I recall correctly. as Easternmost and Westernmost state [:D]

I was wrong about hte date line thing though. While the islands do extend out farther than any other state, the Intl. Date Line zigs around the islands. If it ran along a single line of longitude then the islands would extend past it though.

Yes, [b]Gloftoe[/b], you the man!

That's it though, kudos from the Hun but no cigar!

I figured everyone would forget about Carson City!

Even the folks in Nevada!

I guess that it depends:
FL or MI

But aren't fractal coastlines infinite?
