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.
I second that, if fact I since I see quite a few people from Washington. Maybe we should just have our state as an option.
But at least add the Northwest, it's a real devision we swear.
They underestimate us, but they will learn... BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
I actually sometimes just consider Washington and Oregon somewhat the same state (although that could just be because I live on the boarder of Vancouver and Portland), we have very similar mannerisms and the same "type" of people although the people of Washington seem to be a bit more refined.
Oh, you are one of those...
I'm sorry I cannot continue this conversation. We
normal Washingtonians don't associate with those hippies down south. Kidding of course. It's a running joke around these parts that everyone in Oregon is a hippy and can't drive.

I'm from Washington, and here we call our region the Northwest, which was sadly not in your poll. As for what makes my state rock? We somehow are able to propagate the story that it does nothing but rain here. Half the state is dry, arid land, and the coast half only gets rain off and on for half the year.
Shhh, don't tell people that.
It's the predictability of it that throws most people, there are other major cities that see quite a bit more rain the Seattle. The vast majority of the rain we get is all crammed into a somewhat short (three month long) rainy season, and we have the opposite weather in the summer months with three months nearly devoid of rain. The rest of the time it rains off and on, but it stays overcast pretty much the entire fall and winter months.

How in the world is Portland on your little map there, but not the city 10 times its size right across the bay from it. That would be Corpus Christi for all those that never set foot in Texas.
Probably because I'm a foreigner and have heard of Portland and not Corpus Christi. Which is also a really whack name for a town btw. I imagine it to be perfectly spherical and edible, but only after having a sip of red wine. Maybe the entire town can be used as an escape vessel when the aliens invade.
I am wondering if you are thinking of Portland, OR when you mention having heard of Portland. To put it in perspective Portland has 16,000 people living in the town, Corpus has 350,000 people living in the town.
However I suppose since Corpus lacks a population of Red Dragons, Portland might deserve a spot on the map. Go Wikipedia.
Oh Corpus Christi is a stink hole. It's just a big sprawl town, you think a town that size would have more then a handful of buildings over five stories.
