Only Getting Half the News in Personalized News

Hi, gang,

I have a problem.  I live in Washington, not that city back
east that
thinks it is the only Washington (and is notorious for being
a news
hog), but the State of Washington.  In setting up my
Personalized News
for my hometown, it was easy, just set it up for
"Tacoma."  However, it
is not so easy for state news.  If I set it up just with
"Washington" I
get tons of news about that city back east.  If I use
"Washington -DC,"
believe it or not, almost all I get is still about that city
back east.

It seems that I have to set it up for "Washington
State."  However,
this, too, has a problem.  Recently, as a test, I set up for
four other
states with five articles per state to be displayed. 
Clicking on
these, I found that exactly one-half of the articles about
news in
those states did not have the word "state" in
the article.  By
extrapolation, this is telling me that I am probably missing
half the
news about Washington State.

Does anyone know how I can get that other half of the news
without
being inundated with tons of news about that city back east?

Thank you.
