The only section in the Greater Grand Rapids area that votes in any Democrats is the NW side of the city of GR. I am in a SE suburb. SE, SW, and NE all usually vote for Republicans. My State Senator is my former mayor, Bill Hardiman.
The Holland and Muskegon areas, which are represented by U.S. Rep. Pete Hoekstra (R-Holland) also usually vote Republican.
Muskegon went Gore in 2000, as did Jackson county.
