Okay first off - that whole "last one out, turn off the lights" thing is from the 1970s when Boeing lost a shitload of contracts and laid everybody off. That caused this giant job vacuum and everybody left. That joke really doesn't apply anymore, as the Puget sound (specifically the I-5 corridor) is one of the fastest growing places in the country.

Secondly - Jeff, don’t hold back, tell us how you really feel.......heh.

Thirdly - Washington doesn't smell, that's just Tacoma/North Pierce county. The rest of the state is usually fairly pleasant.

Fourth - okay fuck the numbering thing....

If you want hot weather, we happen to have this big fucking desert right on the other side of the mountains. Or were you unaware of that?

Not that I'm picking sides over which state is better....it's just that a lot of the reasons given suck.

In fact, most of them are really very superficial....and very biased towards the view of someone who is still in fucking high school. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Basically, if you don't like it here ... be like Steven and go somewhere else.
[nothing of that was directed at Steven. His reasons were very sound]
