Not sure the folks in Bellingham are going to be too keen on joining North Dakota. Lynden might be cool with it though. Idaho claiming Spokane would be a hilarious (and tragic) turnabout. Would Okanogan even notice becoming part of Montana? The state capitol stays at least, but losing the Seattle metro region would be a major blow to the economy. Looks like Vancouver is now Washington’s largest city… And it’s just a subset of another state’s metro region!
