Ten days ago Northwest Weekend editor and Washington native Brian Cantwell set off in a hybrid electric car to explore parts of the state he'd never been in. Along the way his fellow residents showed him favorite places in their own hometowns, invited him for home-cooked meals, took him horseback riding and fossil digging – even put him to work bottling wine. Hundreds of readers sent him tips on the best road food, best vistas, best hikes, and best bookstores. Some questioned his politics and challenged him on his 206er point of view. In short, a lively conversation began and we'd like to continue it. So whether you're east, west, north or south, a conservative, liberal or a middle-of-the-roader, from the big city, the suburbs or a small town, let's keep talking!

Join us for an online discussion about what it means to be a Washingtonian.
