The Seattle area is experiencing the same think that Silicon Valley did. Now companies like Google and FB and Apple are moving some of their operations to places like Redmond, Bellevue and Seattle because the cost of living in CA is too high. These high paid employees are causing housing prices to inflate, the same way they have in CA.
Seattle has a LOT of big employers like Amazon and Starbucks, Boeing and Microsoft that keep the employment statistics pretty stable.
The food service industry is another story. I think that a lot of people in that industry are losing their jobs, seeing their hours cut, or the restaurants they work for are refusing to allow tipping or cutting some benefits that were provided before wage increases took place.

Actually no, the restaurants are doing just fine, the wage is specific to Seattle and won't be in full effect for years. By then, many cities will have a $15. minimum wage.
The GOP establishment has not been kind to Chris Christy. I wonder if this is more paybCk than anything.
Maybe Chris Christie is hoping Trump can save him from the upcoming trials of Bridget Kelly and Bill Baroni, they are demanding the emails that implicate Christie.
You do not pay for my health coverage. I am very glad that people that did not have health coverage have it now and I'm very glad that people who could not get coverage due to pre-existing conditions can now get coverage. I also find the numbers some people quote to be completely unbelievable but you're welcome to say you pay $100,000 per month with a million dollar deductible.
The numbers some of the Obama haters throw out are complete BS. The deductible amounts and premiums they claim to pay are not even ACA compliant.

Trump and Christie are big ole buddies.
Christie has talked about his personal relationship with Trump on the campaign trail, calling him “exhausting.”
“Mary Pat and I have been friends with Donald Trump for 13 years,” Christie said during a campaign event in Iowa. “We’ve socialized with him. Donald’s a generous guy and a nice guy, and what you see on TV, by the way, is exactly what you get.”
"I've been nice to Christie, but he really hit me today," Trump said, speaking at a National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day campaign rally in South Carolina. "He really hit me on the whole thing with we have to stop the Muslims until we find out what's going on. ... So Chris, who's a friend of mine, he hit me hard. And I said, 'I've got to hit him at least once.'"
"You had Christie so friendly with President Obama during the flood," Trump recalled. "I actually called, I said, 'Let me ask you, is he going to vote for Obama?' I thought he was going to vote for Obama. I don't know, I think he possibly did."
It really is ALL ABOUT THE DONALD. Petty and childish. Makes up lies about someone he considers A FRIEND because it is all about winning.
