    Maybe it's part of the reason and maybe it's not, but white nationalists have eyed the PNW as the home of a future white ethnostate for quite some time now. They see it as "theirs".

      That's part of the reason yes. I also think they see it as a soft target because of area demographics....

        No, no, it's because tens if not hundreds of thousands of hard core white supremacists have been building bunkers and shit up there since god knows when, but definitely since the 80s, and the PNC is the vile spawning ground for really dedicated, hard core anti-government paranoiac Nazis.

        There are lots of racists in Flyover or the South, but they don't live in bunkers humping books on DIY boobytraps and signed copies of the Turner Diaries.
