Washington State vs Florida

[Del Tachi]

Florida, which is way more diverse and dynamic state than Washington.

The cultural/physical gradient in Florida (from north to south):  Kenny Chesney-land in Florabama, Deep South "Old Florida" based around Tallahassee, khaki country in Jacksonville, the hipsters of Ybor and Grand Central, the best beaches in the country in Southwest Florida, tropical New York presented in WPB, Wilton Manors, Cubano-Haitian Miami, glitzy Art Deco South Beach, and then Ernest Hemingway's Key West.  Of course I skipped over the unsightly welt on the state that is swampy Orlando, but still sounds pretty cool to me. 

Washington is pretty much a single, over-priced, boring post-industrial neoliberal  city (home to the most evil corporation known to man, btw) while the rest of the state is inhabited exclusively by rural hicks.  No thanks.
