You do realise that Austin is actually BIGGER than Seattle in population now Well, if you only count the city itself... Austin is close to 750,000, which is pretty insane.

From the Seattle General Strike in 1919 the first city wide general strike in the nation's history, to electing Bertha Knight Landis the first woman executive of a major American city in 1926...from the early 1970's when Seattle became one of the first large American cities to enact specific civil rights protections prohibiting discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation, to the mid 1970's when the Catholic Archbishop of Seattle publicly defended the rights of gays and lesbians, Seattle has a very long history of liberalism and social activism...

Yes, there are Republicans here too, however even they tend to be less conservative than in other areas of the country, and they tend to be concentrated in the eastern suburbs of Seattle.

I know, I've been to plenty of them. I love Seattle, just not a big fan of many of the people I've met, but I've only been here a year.
