East-coaster, now in Seattle for almost three decades.

Yeah, Oregonians and Washingtonians share some strange behaviors, but there are many things pretty alien between the two.

Handling of minor riots, drunkenness (on your own property, or not -- ok, sleeping on your front lawn), tipping, public transit (in populated areas), shopping, strip clubs, ... Wow.

That's an interesting perspective, in my experience on basically all of those issues I don't see a notable difference in attitude between Oregon & Washington. There's a pretty big shift in mindset going to the east side of either state, but west of the Cascades it might as well be the same state.
Completely agree about going to the east side [of each state].
