Have you lived in any other state?

I personally have not, so my opinion is very one sided, but looking at the USNews.com, ranking #2 overall is pretty awesome!

Out of 50 States, Washington States rates #2 Overall.

Pat yourself on the Back Washington State, and while you at it, maybe take away a few taxes... Just Saying.

How big is Washington State anyway?

71,301 SQ. MI. (source)

I don't know why I asked that but seemed fitting for this article.

You could have told me that Washington State ranks #2 because we are the birth place of Starbucks. I mean, doesn't seem like much to one person, but it all clicks for me, and I'd react as such...
