Reply to comment by LapLeong in WA Senate candidate Tiffany Smiley criticizes Seattle Times, Starbucks, Seahawks by matchettehdl

If you don’t think WA is distinct & prosperous, you should probably just stay where you are rather than move here.

I should've clarified my question. I know WA is distinct and prosperous. I'd like to know what other states can do to replicate that success. I live in New York City, it has as many corporations, but the quality of life isn't as high and I'd like to live in a nice place.

Ahhhh, I see what you mean. Honestly a big part is the residents here are pretty involved in giving back to the community. I don’t know it is specifically in New York but this is the first place I’ve lived where I’ve seen private citizens donate tons of their time & money to schools, parks, libraries, museums, etc.
