An Easterner (ME) headed West (WA) - to live.

He probably means those nerds from California that move to Washington.
When I lived in Tennessee, a family from Seattle moved near where I was living. They didn't stay long and moved back to Seattle. They said they just can't live around a bunch of backward hillbillies. I didn't meet any of the family, but know some school teachers that had the unfortunate pleasure of trying to get along and welcome them.
"Hillbillies are often distinguished as hicks, mountain men, rednecks, white trash, yokels, and pedophiles."
That family just couldn't understand why no one could understand why the local hillbilly families wouldn't conform to, "we did it this way in Seattle and you should too."

 

Me neither. Oh, and I'd sure like this guy to keep his anti-Obama drivel to himself and allow this thread to remain free of political bias.

 

You appear to negatively broadbrush all of Washington because of one family with a bad attitude. I don't think one exception proves the rule.
My experience with Washingtonians is that they are the most accepting and warm people I've met in a whole lot of states I've lived in. I speak as one of Hispanic descent who has never encountered ANY problems of racism or elitism in Washington. I wish I could say the same for other parts of the country I have visited and/or resided in.

 

Refering to the new folks that move here and want to change everything to the way it was in.....

 

I was referring to one close minded family only. I have friends is Washington. I don't care for the weather in WA, but everything else is fine. One friend in WA retired from Safeway as a driver in Spokane.

 

The Obama comment was to put a time frame of when I worked there. I worked there during the OBAMA admin. How is that Anti-Obama, Political bias drivel? That was the time that med ins cost for the employees went up and coverage went down, so...You decide coincidence??? or political??? Don't really care.
So back to the original comment...And again, If it is so great where you come from, Then why do you move away? What made you want to move away? What attracted you to the new area in the first place? Perhaps leave the area alone and let them stay the way THEY have grown, not the way you did it back home. Check the attitudes at the state lines. Often refered to ASSIMILATE to your surroundings. (Ever heard the phrase, When in Rome...?) Maybe.... If you would like to yammer about the pro's and con's of Obama, We can start a new thread in the political section. I did not bring it, You did.

 

Wow


Excuse me, but the one who brought attitude to the whole thing is you.
Please tell me where anyone on this thread said anything about changing things to the way they like them???
Are transplants not allowed in your book?

 

Nobody said it, I think he was making a generalization. I've spent most of my adult life in Western MT. Many people move here from CA. And then they try to make it like CA. Doesn't work like that. Lol

 

I agree wholeheartedly.
