King county in which Seattle resides and the two counties touching it Pierce and Snohomish control everything that happens in Washington. and yes most of the tax revenue comes out of those three counties.
The rest of Washington is like a different world..... Gun owning hunting and fishing.... much more conservative types.
Conservatives have hope but there's not a chance of a Republican taking office.
The honest to goodness best thing we could get is a less progressive Democrat. I'm not sure why she would even consider it but somebody like Chief Best would be perfect. A Democrat with real law enforcement background and female and a POC.
Just not sure if the enlightened Democrat socialist Seattle people could stomach somebody as conservative as say Bill Clinton or Kennedy.
We all have relatives or friends that vote Democrat because that's what they always do. It's going to take a few generations for those people to disappear.
