Oregon is like that, too. If you want to win the state, win the Portland Metro Area and Multnomah County. You win those two, you pretty much win the whole enchilada. After all, that's where the majority of the population lives. If I'm not mistaken, slightly over half of Oregon's entire population lives in the PMA/Multnomah County. And it's pretty liberal, to put it mildly.

I know, I lived in Lakeview OR for a year and saw how OR politics were controlled by the Portland area. At least Eastern WA has a few cities. Spokane, Tri-Cities, Yakima, Wenatchee. Eastern OR doesn't have much... Bend, Klamath Falls?
