Spokane, Washington

I just got done with a two day visit to Spokane, Washington. This was my first time in Eastern Washington.

All I have to say is that Eastern Washington is a completely different world than Western Washington. When comparing Seattle and the surrounding areas with Spokane and the surrounding areas, I can't believe that they are even the same state. The feeling in Eastern Washington just is so different and not as modern. I can definitely say that I would not want to move to Eastern Washington.

Random observation that I found in Spokane: I think the White/Caucasian population has to be at least 90%. When I was attending the college fair, the majority of the people of color that I saw were the college representatives... and even counting them, there weren't many. I'm used to places where people have different skin colors. That's one of the things that I like about Seattle... it's so diverse.

One random observation about Seattle: I think Seattle is the Hapa capital of the world. What is hapa? Hapas are people that are half Asian, and half something else... usually white. I just find this interesting because once I have kids, they'll be hapa. Hapas are EVERYWHERE in Seattle.

All right... Spokane - Not for me. Seattle - Love it!

Now I'm off to watch the Vice Presidential debate! Exciting!
