North Korea's closest major US city, Seattle, wants to plan for possible nuclear attack

SEATTLE – North Korea’s latest test launch over the weekend has raised concerns among U.S. officials. The Pentagon says the ballistic missile flew 1,000 miles higher than NASA’s International Space Station. It was then able to re-enter earth’s atmosphere and splash down just 60 miles from Russia. One official told Fox News it was a “big step forward” in North Korea’s nuclear missile program.

Emergency planners in Hawaii, the closest state to North Korea, have taken notice and are evaluating existing nuclear attack response plans. Meanwhile, another possible target on the West Coast is barred from taking any steps to plan for a nuclear attack.

Washington State allows evacuation plans for every disaster scenario except a nuclear bomb. Former state Rep. Dick Nelson remembers the prevailing thinking in the legislature at the time concerning response plans in the event of nuclear war.

If I were planning on investing in Seattle this wouldn't deter me.

What would deter me is their homeless problem, socialist city council woman harping about rent control, prices, the traffic and finally the frequent protests.

I know prices are surging and housing is tight but the political climate there would concern me enough that I wouldn't consider investing inside the city limits.
