No, they shouldn't spend the Washington grant money in California and Oregon, but good west coast passenger rail would benefit everyone from San Diego to Vancouver. Many Seattle residents would be very happy about a train that took less than a week to get to Salem or Eugene. A bullet train would be cool, but it would have to serve Olympia and connect to SeaTac, not just blaze back and forth between the two major cities. Personally, I want a train from the Olympic Peninsula, where I live, to a nice connection in Tacoma, but that's not happening.
