Piffka, could it be that Washington's sychronicity floated up from California. I'm fairly certain that it was one of the many propositions that Cal. voters put into law about 40 years ago.
I know for a fact that it wafted over to Sedona, Arizona--the amounts of sychronicity there could stun a moose, although it isn't free. You have to buy it in very expensive little shops filled with crystals and inscense, but they put it in lovely, homemade bags with kots of raffia, hanging down, making it look exceedingly cool.
Last time I was there, it cost about $65.00 for a one ounce bottle which, by the way, was made of hand blown glass with a cute little stopper. There were larger bottles, but only for the customers who were accustomed to more potent doses of synchronicity.
These are the people who are so cool that they levitate, but only in the presence of other levitaters. Hmmm, I seem to remember the same experience in San Francisco in the 60's.....
