No, NC-2 (in ‘94) had an extremely narrow sliver of the NW corner of Wake and extended halfway into Durham. Essentially, it was a horseshoe-shaped district around Wake’s surrounding counties. For 2002, Wake County was mercilessly chopped up in thirds for the 2nd, 4th and 13th.
As I recall, Valentine’s NC-02 had Raleigh’s black precincts in 1992, but when the NC-12 (which meandered from black parts of Gastonia to black parts of Durham) was declared unconstitutional, Valentine’s NC-02 was given black parts of Durham and had the Raleigh precincts taken out. But was that in 1994 or 1996?
