These are all stories from the FBI site for Washington state, and reading it we may be led to believe that only those from Eastern Wa have any perversions.

We have no idea why there is such a large disparity and the FBI doesn’t respond to reporters or citizens most times so there is no real explanation.

The other more ominous explanation is that they have no oversight for this side of the state which means that it is up to local agencies with limited resources to reign in this scourge.
