LETTERS, Page 6Stormy Days in the Northwest
Our story on the Seattle backlash against the migration of
Californians to that city (NATION, Nov. 13) stirred a number of
Westerners to speak out. Some benevolent Washingtonians wrote that
they were embarrassed by reports of discrimination against
Californians, whom they personally welcomed. A member of the
keep-out crowd who described herself as "a permanently rusty
Seattlite" makes her point by downgrading Seattle's attractions to
people from other states -- "including friends." A California
chauvinist snaps, "The worst of California is still better than the
best of Seattle." Readers in the buffer state of Oregon are
sensibly keeping it a rhetoric-free zone.
