I don’t even live in Spokane County, I live in Pend Oreille County. Which is either the poorest or second poorest in the state.

if I were to live anywhere but Seattle, I'd probably go to Olympia so I can hang out with a bunch of gnarly crust punks and irritate our garbage legislature in person

I don't know that I like where I live, but I consider it my sacred duty to live here and vote for proper governance from the 8th district.

I'm super ready to move away from Walla Walla / Tricities after I graduate. Eastern Washington holds no appeal for me. I'm still half considering Seattle, but man it's expensive. I'd probably rather do Minneapolis or something.
I like living in Bothell, though I hate how its being redmon'd with expensive houses people who lived in Bothell before they went up can't even begin to afford.
I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.

Tacoma is probably going to experience a wave of growth now that so many businesses and organizations are being priced out of Seattle. Doubly so once the light rail lines open.

Basically, invest in land now and brace for the gentrification wave.

There's already been a lot of redevelopment of areas once considered blighted or "sketchy". The area around the Tacoma Mall, for example, has seen a huge wave of home rehabs and new construction the likes of which would give any Seattle neighborhood a run for it's money.

Who can I call about the vaccine bill thats coming up soon in the state legislature?
"I will write your name in the ruin of them. I will paint you across history in the color of their blood."
My favorite thing about that is them acting like if they left the state anyone would be upset. No crazy people we'd be bye bitching your infectious asses all the way to the state line.

I mean clark county residents do their best to avoid paying taxes in two states, so really if they left neither state would feel all too broken up about it. Honestly I'd feel bad for idaho/montana.

A thought - someone mentioned that poorer populations tend to have better rates of vaccination. I wonder what legislation making unvaccinated children be distributed across schools with safe numbers of vaccination would end up doing.
(I suspect better vaccination rates and funding improvements for the poorer schools.)
Most of the schools in state that have super bad anti vaxx rates are private christian universities.
Also I'm not super fond of the idea of spreading potential disease vectors around, if anything we should leper colony them and prevent them from mixing with the general population.

Those have the worst rates, but a lot of the schools are sub 80%, and I think 92% is considered the target for "herd immunity".

What I wonder is if given a choice between a community school and vaccines, what would the parents choose

Its just not a viable policy. You'll never get the public to agree to "hey we're going to put some unvaccinated kids in your school" Like as a parent no fuck that mandate they get vaccinations dont spread the risk.

Of course, the reason he's broke is he spent all his money on signature gatherers... his $30 car tabs bullshit is gonna be on the next ballot.
Which I'm fairly scared is going to pass.

Basically, the state can continue the parts of its lawsuit that don’t involve collecting money from Eyman. Such as, deposing his political partners and major donors, and possibly forcing him to release the names of people who donated to his legal defense fund.

It's still weird though - stealing food, I get easily. Chairs, seems like less of a necessity, like if you got to the point of stealing chairs, what else did you already steal before getting to that point?
Basically, the state can continue the parts of its lawsuit that don’t involve collecting money from Eyman. Such as, deposing his political partners and major donors, and possibly forcing him to release the names of people who donated to his legal defense fund.
I'll defend the Times here (for once), because there's no way a print story about the chair theft would be half as funny as that video.
In the video, Eyman, wearing a bright red shirt saying “Let The Voters Decide,” can be seen circling around the store’s lobby, peering in various directions. He walks through the store’s anti-theft devices into the vestibule and sits in a rolling office chair that was displayed there. He reclines, spins around three times and then stands up and wheels the chair out of the store.
About a minute later, Eyman returned to the store, where he printed and scanned some documents, exchanged a printer and bought two new ones for $249, according to the police report.
You never return to the scene!

What may not be obvious is that Eyman declared bankruptcy after Washington started a civil lawsuit against him. His only major source of debt was the civil lawsuit against him. (Listed as disputed.) Filing bankruptcy automatically freezes civil lawsuits. And that's why the attorney general called his bankruptcy a "bad-faith effort".
I love that the law firm representing him for his other crimes offered to come in and pay for the chair before charges were filed. (That's not how crime works. Especially since the reason you are concerned is because it makes your client look like a shady idiot.)
"I told the cashier I wanted to buy the chair, they just didn't charge me."
1. You stole the chair before you visited the cashier. If you are going to do this shady looking activity (don't do this), you need to follow it up by clearly indicating what you did, and making sure you are charged for it
2. You bought 2 identical items. You didn't notice that your total bill was roughly 2 times the price of the item? It wasn't a red flag for you that after your shady shit, your bill was mysteriously low?
3. You made the employee set your printer on the ground and not in your car. Literally no explanation for this other than hiding a theft.
I truly can't wait until he tries to explain away number 2 by saying that he thought he WAS charged for the chair, but actually it was just the excessive taxes on the printers. To which a judges response would be, "You forgot WA taxes were a thing? You have spent 20 years complaining about WA taxes, fighting against them. At the time of the theft you were wearing a shirt about this issue. It's very likely that the moment you forget about WA Taxes, you would simple cease to exist."
You forgot the part where he cased the chair for like five minutes before grabbing it.
This is like the dumbest shoplifting story ever. I just can’t get over it. Who steals a chair?! A dress, some lipstick, a watch, some bit of small electronics...this I get. It’s wrong, and it’s illegal, but I can at least understand either the need or the thrill or whatever.
But what kind of broken, boring-ass human steals an office chair?
I heard he was mad at the last Supreme Court verdict and hoping to get a seat.

Your representative to the Legislature.
We made the news, in a bad way. Fucking anti vaxxer chodes are going to exacerbate the downfall of Western Civilization, I just know it.
Yeah, I eventually found a way to send emails to reps from a page about the bill.
Also, the reason only anti-vaxxers showed up on Friday because no one else wanted to put lives in danger, a thing that anti-vaxxers are used to doing.

So the old "I'm too cheap to pay for ink" scam.
What may not be obvious is that Eyman declared bankruptcy after Washington started a civil lawsuit against him. His only major source of debt was the civil lawsuit against him. (Listed as disputed.) Filing bankruptcy automatically freezes civil lawsuits. And that's why the attorney general called his bankruptcy a "bad-faith effort".
But he didn't mean to.
