Heard of people trying to separate both east sides and either forming a state or becoming part of Idaho. I would be happy with either but to add both east sides to Idaho would sure make a great state to hunt.

Been talking about that as long as I can remember. You think Idahoans would ever vote for that? I don't think so. By the way, you can hunt any of these states right now.

No, I doubt idaho would go for it.
My youngest son went over to hunt elk earlier this year but no luck. Quite a few dollars involved. Although he harvested a deer and an elk here in washington during late bow season.

i have heard of the state of jefferson, but not those 3 states. northern california and oregon has been discussed being 1 state for a long time.

Oregon is two part's. The very liberal west side which control's the state and the east side that the people in the west side think we take care of just for their enjoyment!

Washington also.
You could draw a north and south line somewhere west of the cascades and have more like minded groups.

I was at jury duty a couple years ago and during the pick, the lawyer for the defense asked who owned guns or had a concealed weapons permit. At least 3/4 of the people raised their hands. He said he should have known, it was the east side. Made me proud!

As far as Oregon goes from what I've noticed it's really the northwest Portland-area that are a different breed of people. Once you go further south you find people with much more sense.

I live in Western Washington and I will say that once you get out of the cities, into the little farming towns it is not that bad. Same ideas and attitude as in Eastern Wa.

We need a good earthquake that dumps all the west coast cities into the pacific.

Western OR is the same.

Portland and Springfield/Eugene own the whole state. Just to many vote's there.

I grew up in Northern California logging communities til i was about 11. A fairly small geographic area runs the whole state.

Nothing new on these proposals... eastern Washington, north Idaho, eastern Oregon or whatever. I'm in eastern Washington and the main hurdle is who's going to pay for this new state? I know we in eastern Washington pull more out of the pot than we put in and I'll bet eastern Oregon and north Idaho are doing the same. One plus is Mississippi would probably move up from the bottom of per capita income.
