I can't speak for the entire maps without running numbers, but based on Snohomish County, the Fain map is a hack R map (lol at lumping Everett and Mill Creek together to take out 3+ Dem incumbents)  whereas the Walkinshaw map makes the most sense as an incumbent protection map. The Sims map looks somewhat reasonable but D-leaning while the Graves map looks somewhat okay but quite R-leaning.

They're going to push this right to the end, aren't they? Ugh.

Who ever thought crossing the Cascade Range that far North was a good idea?? Admittedly that's a product of the last decade's redistricting, but still, WHY??

It contains two of the three most traveled Cascade crossings. It's not as coherent as crossing at the Columbia, but it's not that bad.

So what happens now? Does the buck pass to the legislature, or the Supreme Court? Or does the commission just keep trying until we get to the new election cycle?

I have to imagine it's going to the courts. Even if they claim they agreed on something, their secretive, last-second actions have opened themselves up to lawsuits from any aggrieved party who doesn't like the maps they've drawn.

I'm actually fairly happy with the maps the commission ended up drawing, even if they weren't approved in time.

The Supreme Court lets the Commission's maps stand.
