Snohomish County - Terrorist Incubator

(Everett, Washington) In less than 18 months, four Snohomish County past or current residents have been arrested on terrorism-related charges. Included are:

Paul Douglas Revak, 20, of Maltby was arrested in June 2003 for plotting to blow a U.S. Coast Guard station. He was sentenced to probation on a plea bargain.

Spc. Ryan G. Anderson, 26, of Lynnwood was arrested last February for offering to give al-Qaida terrorists information on how to destroy tanks and kill American soldiers. He was sentenced to life in prison after being convicted of treason.

Susan Lindauer, 40, a former Everett Herald employee, was arrested in March for allegedly trying to assist Iraqi terrorists. She pleaded not guilty and is out on bond awaiting trial.

And, just this past week, Mark Robert Walker, 19, of Stanwood was arrested after attempting to meet an Islamic extremist in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico. In attempting to make a contribution of goods and services to Al-Ittihad Al-Islamiya, a designated terrorist organization, Walker faces a possible ten year federal prison sentence.

It's not clear why Snohomish County is a breeding ground for anti-Americanism, but it is known that it's on the West Coast and extremely liberal politically, voting almost exclusively for Democrats at all levels of government.
