Whitman County, the only county east of the Cascades to vote blue, voted for Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton by the second smallest margin in the state.

According to the Washington Secretary of State’s website, last updated on November 10, Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton received just over 3,900 votes in Whitman County, compared to Republican candidate Donald Trump’s approximately 3,700 votes. Clinton won 47 percent, while Trump received 45 percent and third party candidates received a combined 8 percent.

A total of 12 Washington counties voted for Clinton. Most of these – Whatcom, Skagit, Snohomish, King, Pierce, Thurston, Kitsap, Jefferson, Island and San Juan – centered around Puget Sound. The only other blue counties were Whitman and Clark, which was also the only county to vote for Clinton by a smaller margin than Whitman County, at about 46 percent.

King County was the most heavily Democratic, with Clinton receiving about 72 percent compared to Trump’s 22 percent. Lincoln County, the most Republican-leaning county, voted almost exactly opposite, with Trump winning about 72 percent and Clinton receiving just under 22 percent.
