Wow, my comment started a thread, I'm flattered.
Welcome to the Escapist, by the way.
OT: I'm from Washington State. I don't know if we're too stereotyped, when I'm abroad and say I'm from Washington people tend to assume the District of Columbia, and some don't seem to know that Washington is a State, or consider it of any relevance if they do.
However, those who do know assume that I'm from Seattle, and that Seattle is the capital, and that Seattle is pretty much the only city.
And Seattle is known for... hipsters? Maybe? Olympia is known for being ultra-liberal, home to the Evergreen State college.
Though, my actual home town, Spokane, might be notorious for the "Otto Zehm" fiasco and other "corrupt police" stories. We also had a mayor and a few firefighters who solicited sex from young men from City computers...
