I couldn't find any major examples (Pres, Gov, Sen) of this happening in Washington.

The only two I could find at all were in the 60s/70s and for more minor positions:

Attorney General, 1968
50.22% Slade Gorton (R) - 17 counties
49.78% John McCutcheon (R) - 22 counties



---

And the most extreme example due to a strong R performance in King County:

Insurance Commissioner, 1976
53.25% Richard Marquardt (R) - 17 counties
43.44% Karl Hermann (D) - 22 counties
