Actually here in WA, it is the Seattle area that decides everything in the state. The east side of the state is conservative, and also the south. But the main population is socialist Seattle.
I do not think I have seen anyone as white as the population of Seattle. When you are a vegan like many in Seattle living in drizzly city whose most advantageous view of the sun is on a TV screen, everyone other caucasian in the country looks hispanic.
