are in the north part of the state, and part of the northern parts of Washington state also have a problem with those groups.

My dad was stationed at Mountain Home Air Force base near Boise. I was born in Washington state and then my dad was transferred to Mountain Home. We left there when I was in the 2nd grade. My son moved there in spent two years in Boise. I visited him and found Boise to be a pretty diverse city, at least from what I saw.

I really like Idaho, but it's pretty red and I don't know if that will change.

My impression was that this was mostly a crowd of young people. How exciting! This may be a sign for the future of Idaho. Sure hope so!
