Clark County, Washington has voted Democratic in six of the eight presidential elections since 1992 (only voting Republican in 2000 and 2004 in that period). However, all six of those times (as well as 2000 and 2004), it has voted more Republican than the nation.

Even more interestingly, the county had a streak of voting more Democratic than the nation from 1932 to 1988 - including two recent elections where it voted Republican before its Republican-leaning streak, 1980 and 1984.
