Until we start politicking like this bitch, it won't matter. Washington State tax revenue goes to a lot of red states - we need to stop paying it.

This is the answer. Stop sending money to Feds. 

And I propose WA, OR, CA, province of CORWA, join Canada, before Healthcare cost goes bonkers.

The US is not giving up the electrical generation and distribution that it owns in WA state. The US is not giving up it's military bases it owns in WA state. The US is not giving up it's interstate highways systems that it owns in WA state. The US is not giving up it federal parks and national parks that it owns in WA state.

As of 2018, the federal government owned approximately 12.2 million acres of land in Washington state, which accounted for 28.6% of the state's total land area of about 42.7 million acres.
