Serious question regarding the Pacific Northwest: Are there any parts that are not a forward facing liberal utopia hiding a sinister racist horror town? In searching for a place to move, Seattle sounded nice and came up with a decent walkable score, but all the news I'm hearing out of there is heinous with regards to black and brown lives. Portland has always been pretty terrible at hiding their racism. Is there anything I'm missing? It should I look elsewhere?
