When the state announced a multi-billion dollar budget deficit, most people
just shrugged their shoulders and tightened up the home budget accordingly.

Hmmm - seems that this Seattle disease stretches further than we
originally thought.

From Tim's Mississippi Queen thread:

"Vanessa Bloy, head of communications at Seattle-based Majestic
America Line, said all the company’s ships, including the Mississippi
Queen, were up for sale but no purchases had yet been agreed."

Hmmm - how about that.

I thought folks in Washington cared, I mean truly cared, about our
country and it's heritage.

Guess not.

If you didn't have your head so far up your ass, you'd know that the
state of Washington has been in the midst of "hard times" for many
years. Too much dependence on Boeing and related industries.

Seattle is doing its best to be nice to all:

"WHEREAS, the city of Seattle is comprised of immigrants from
throughout the world who contribute to Seattle's social vivacity and
cultural richness; and

WHEREAS, Seattle has been a city that traditionally respects the
rights of and provides equal services to all individuals, regardless
of race, ethnicity, or immigration status; and..."

You'd think states hosting sanctuary cities would be able to afford to
care...
