That's like saying California is red state if you don't count LA County, The Bay Area, Sacramento.What're you talkin' about? We ARE a red state, once you get outside the Bellingham, Seattle, Tacoma or Olympia city limits...
As long as the Seattle to Olympia area exists Washington is and will forever be a blue state.
