I live in Thurston County. Deep, deep blue.
Like the 4 counties you mention, less than 40 percent of registered voters vote. Less in primaries.
If “majority” wins, 21% of our registered voters are giving us this crap.
Crazy, no! I live in Grays Harbor. I do all my shopping in Thurston, I didn’t include them, probably should Thurston is just as crazy as King/Pierce and just about as dangerous.
