i'm going to have to be a jerk, as I haven't really read this thread beyond he OP's list. I found it incredibly sad that instead of say an evergreen tree or a snow capped volcano for Washington and Oregon he thought up two stupid hollywood movies for not one but BOTH states. Jeez, what kind of culture is this?
