Wow, and to think I USED to live in Seattle, WA. But I am not a paid firefighter either, not yet anyway. I know the cost of living up there is a little higher but not by much... and the gas prices these days don't help much either. I took a significant pay cut when I moved from North to South.

That's just sad about Louisiana, Tennessee, and Kentucky. The ones who get paid the most also have a higher cost of living.
