WA and CO are the best... Gorkhadogg is right pacific northwest is awsom. Lived there for 5 years.. people are very friendly, open minded.. and even if some don' t liek foreigners they do not say anything at your face or don't go harming you- unlike in the down south and the EASt where racist ppl say at your face and do stuff to humulate you when they see you dark hair and dark eyes.... Pacific nothwest is beautiful, people are calm and laid back, no show offs, no rush in the life.. eveyone likes outdoors and simple and easy living.. only one drawback is it takes forever for people to accept you.. most communities are small and if you're not born there then you never belong there.. but if you are nice and friendly and open to meet people then you'll make a bunch of nice friends..... I have a very sad expirences with the people from the east.. i will never ever go live in the east.. pretty much everyone from the east i have met are selfish, moody, rude, loud and greedy..... west is the best, Fk the rest;)
