    Seattle is in Washington, directly under Canada, a stones throw from Vancouver, specifically. DC is a former wetland (hence “Drain the Swamp!”) set in between Maryland and Virginia and has a warmer climate. We are taught that the capital was never supposed to be part of any state, lest they become more powerful than the others.

      DC is a former wetland

      for like half a century after the countries founding, there was no sewer system. So a giant lake of shit formed, practically behind the White House. It’s thought a lot of the early presidents had their life shortened by cholera complications

        I think they should bring back the shit swamp, personally. I think we could use a place to dunk politicians we are displeased with.
