The people of Eastern Oregon and Washington, with a combined population of millions, have been ruled by a government that does not represent them, nor has their best interests in mind.
The counties at or east of the Cascade Range should be made into a new state, it’s capital being Spokane or Yakima. This would allow for the people of E. Oregon and Washington to have a state government that acts in their best interests, while also reducing financial burdens to the states of Oregon and Washington state.
This could be potentially done in exchange for admitting Puerto Rico into the Union (depending on the results of a fair and transparent referendum of the people there)
