(2,145 posts)57. Pierce Co. trending red so may be in flux.
check out Olympia article on Pierce Co. http://www.theolympian.com/news/politics-government/election/article114408228.html
And the charter school movement soundly defeated in King Co. but passed by good margin in Pierce Co. I worry about our state. I cannot understand why Republicans have so much power in Olympia - except for our blue dog dems.
Good interactive map online showing how Washington St has fluctuated over the years. One of our best govs was Dan Evans, R. Sometimes I think WA State isn't so loyal to party as to candidate. We've been lucky and had good ones on both sides. Sometimes I think eastern Wa more dependably red than west coast dependably blue. Makes me nervous.
But for national offices we seem to be true blue.
