I've spent time in both states. Miss. is still in the dark ages in many respects. Abject poverty, terrible public education, poor economy, and then I could name the really bad aspects of the state but I won't.
Washington is not the promised land, but the natural beauty of the state is something to behold, the high tech opportunities, the booming economy, the forward thinking environmental policies, do put the state in the 21st century.
So, if I had to live in one or the other, its Washington for me 100%.
