Brilliant - take my water. No the Seattle area has water struggles of it’s own. Maybe barge down some glacier from Alaska.

Harcourt Fenton (Harry) Mudd was one of my favorite characters.

I guess he was only in two or maybe 3 episodes. A true interstellar ne’er do well.

No to that idea. Washington State’s snow pack is way below normal this year. We are going to have our own drought.

Played by Roger C. Carmel, who had his own problems. He was replaced on “The Mothers-in-Law” by Richard Deacon. Carmel ended up dying of a drug O.D.

Could have shown up at Spock’s funeral though. I cant imagine whatever engagement he had wouldn’t have understood.

This KickStarter campaign brought to you by the backers of SuckSeattleDry.com!”

Here in Washington state we are facing a summer of drought due to low snow fall.

No! No! No! Save the Seattle Smelt! It is one of the 236,497,312 species of smelt, but there’s not many of them left!

The best way to save water in California is for them to stop baking all those homosexual wedding cakes. Each homosexual wedding cake takes 4,2000,000 gallons of water to make. Let them celebrate with a nice creamed fish, like smelt.

One four foot diameter pipeline of fresh water is not enough.

Better to spend the money on desalination plants along the coast.

Save California? Why would Americans care about that?

The people in Washington aren’t likely to let California steal their water.. Even leftists ain’t that dumb.

We are predominately conservative in eastern WA but either way, you don't get to mess with Columbia River water due to it's being a salmon habitat. Even homeowners on the river with existing docks get hassled constantly by Army Corpse of Engineers. No way will even ten buckets be headed south.

Why haven’t California Republicans been campaigning on this for 10 years?
It’s free candy for the masses! Start imitating Democrats if that’s the only way to regain control of the state.

Offer to build de-salinization plants and the everybody wins.
