Now first off want to say I have not got the book yet (waiting for payday), but one thing to remember about the Pacific Northwest is that you have two VERY DIFFERENT cultures on the two sides of the mountain. Eco terrorism is not likely to come from eastern WA, much more likely from Western side, I am sad to say the eastern side is more likely to have terrorism like sovereign citizens. Western side is much more Liberal, Eastern side is much more Conservative (with very strong leaning to Libertarian).

Also the dry side (my home town got on average 0.2 inches of rain a year) compared to the average for Western WA of 66.03 inches. So anything you think you know from TV/Movies is almost 100% wrong when it comes to Eastern Washington (or if we can ever split the state Cascadia).

Now yes these are generalizations, and only one man's view, but on growing up on the Eastern side, joining the army serving both at YTC and Fort Lewis, later federal Security/Law Enforcement again on both sides of the state.
