I'm sorry, but every single state on this thread just got the shit kicked out of it by may state, Washington. Not only do we have the three of the four future overlords of mankind Microsoft, Costco, and Starbucks, the other being Wal-Mart, but we also have great coffee (not just Starbucks), game developers (Valve, Nintendo's software developers and US headquarters, Sucker Punch (the people who made Infamous) Bungie, and I'm sure a few smaller ones), Amazon.com, and we have a fuck ton of unspoiled wilderness.
You need to add Northwest to your poll, we all feel insulted we weren't given our own option.
