It's probably the fact that we're an extension of Canada, or our constant consumption of God's gift to alcoholics... Kokanee ... everything in the Pacific Northwest seems a little more laid back. While soccer players bite referee chins and WNBA players trade punches, we're going on hikes and sampling different Hooka flavors.

Are we hippies? Yes. Very much so.

But that doesn't mean we don't have the occasional fight or two. In fact, we have quite a bit of tension in the region. Check out this list of the greatest brawls of the Pacific Northwest.

1. Seattle's Best Coffee Baristas vs. Starbucks Baristas

Since there's one or the other on every street corner, this sort of fight was inevitable. Several latte burns were reported and one barista got hit with a scone.

2. Portland Trailblazers fans vs. Seattle SuperSonics fans

(SIIIIIIIGHHH) Okay, this one won't be happening for a long time. Thanks Clay Bennett, enjoy the 49th biggest media market in the country. You might as well have moved your team to a remote Alaskan fishing town.

3. Ritchie Sexson fans vs. Mariner fans

The deranged man was quite handily defeated by the angry mob.

4. The Jet Stream vs. the Cascade Mountains

This is the reason Eastern Washington has roughly the same climate as the Sahara Desert while there's rainforests on the west side of the state. If you come to this state, don't be fooled by the Evergreen State nickname.

5. Washington Husky Fans vs. Washington State Cougar Fans

Actually, this usually ends up with the cougar fan passing out drunk after nine games of beer pong and the Husky fan driving his jetta back to his parents house to play Xbox 360.
