And who is running the Washington COC, pray tell?

Good question...the Washington CoC website isn't that easy to navigate but it looks like there are at least four or five Bandido support clubs that are part of it.

A list of WCoC officers and their club affiliation would tell the story.

The author of the article is a member of the Outsiders MC which is not Bandido affiliated as far as I can tell.

I don't think the Bandido's have a lot of power in Washington, but as I've just explained I have only an outside riders view of things. But still, I never see them around. Supposedly the Gypsy Jokers were in charge of Portland for a while, and they do have a very nice clubhouse on one of the main streets in town, MLK. There are lots of cool hipster riding clubs and some bars they hang out in that are very mellow.

I see the Free Souls around here, and Iron Order (who are not 1%) and that's about it. Maybe they are in some other part of the state. I'm in the SW.
