Well Tim Burgess is a home-grown Commie (not from California)
“Tim grew up on Capitol Hill and attended Lincoln High School and the University of Washington. He and his wife of 34 years, Joleen, and their three daughters all are graduates of Seattle Public Schools. Tim and Joleen are residents of the Queen Anne neighborhood.”
As a young man, I went to the World’s Fair in Seattle in 1962. It wasn’t any place I’d live back then. Besides, all the “California Crap” Seattle got (Portland too) came West from the East Coast and just made a right turn when they got to San Francisco.
But the real estate sell-off in SoCal in the 80's had hoards of them moving north, Oregon locations and Seattle was infected.
That's why these crazy, left-wing issues come up.
