2020 Census and Redistricting Thread: Washington

[Nyvin]

7 Safe D seats in Washington is actually really easy.  I don't see how the Democrats don't work out a map like this if they still hold 7 seats after the election,  especially if it focuses on incumbent protection.

WA-1: Clinton +10.4%
WA-2: Clinton +24.5%
WA-3: Trump +7.2%
WA-4: Trump +22.1%
WA-5: Trump +13.6%
WA-6: Clinton +10.8%
WA-7: Clinton +77%
WA-8: Clinton +31.5%
WA-9: Clinton +20.5%
WA-10: Clinton +10.4%

I didn't even really do anything special or make any awkward arrangements with this.   The only reason for WA-2 to pickup Chelan County is to make the Yakima split easier.

Washington is fun to draw maps on for some reason.   I think the county arrangement here for WA-4 and WA-5 is near perfect.

Your right.  I ran the excel file wrong.   I redid the numbers,  second times a charm I guess.   Sorry first time doing this.

Fain's (Senate R) WA-8 is downright absurd...crossing a bunch of mountain valleys to make a tilt D district?  Yeah, I don't think so.

At least the Graves (House R) map has WA-1 going through the highways in that area.

Looks like 6-3-1,  bordering on 6-4
