Especially if we exclude cases like Maricopa County, which is such a huge chunk of Arizona's population and includes tons of very different sorts of communities.

Something unusual happened here in Tennessee (formerly controlled by East Tennessee Republicans) in 2018:
Governor: Bill Lee (R-Fernvale, Williamson County)
Senator: Marsha Blackburn (R-Brentwood, Williamson County)
Speaker: Glen Casada (R-Franklin, Williamson County)
Senate Majority Leader: Jack Johnson (R-Franklin, Williamson County)

Kind of ironically though, Williamson County's new US Rep is not from Williamson County, but Clarksville (Montgomery County)- and he has been elected the GOP Freshman Class President.  So, if you live in a portion of Eastern Williamson County, you could be represented by the State House Speaker, State Senate Majority Leader, and GOP Freshman Class President, as well as also being in the home county of the new Governor and Senator. (Side note: I live in that set of districts)

Are there any similar examples in other states- especially when it is one of 95, as is the case with Williamson County?

Unsurprisingly given its relatively large population, New Castle County is the home of the governor, both senators, and the member of the House of Representatives from Delaware.

The speaker of the state house resides in Rehoboth, though (he’s also my state rep).

I think the Bay Area has every state-wide elected official in California except for one.
