Due to demographic shifts, and a 50% increase in Hispanics by 2050, this is going to eventually make Texas and Arizona swing states. I personally disagree with Trump's position on immigration and believe that we should be more welcoming to people of diverse backgrounds to become more inclusive as a nation. Where else do Republicans look to capture electoral votes?

You don't. Conservatism isn't really going to sell there and neither is Trumpism

Republican benefit from racial polarization. The best scenario is a Dot-Com bust forcing tech jobs out of PNW thus allowing the educated liberal class to move somewhere else. Creating a environment in which working class whites neighborhoods see an increase in minorities because of cheap housing. Creating a sharp cultural change, increase in crime, and poverty. With an increase in crime/poverty means more racial polarization making the African American population subject to disenfranchisement creating mass protest. While they watch TV they notice show like Full House and Seinfield are replaced by Empire and Modern Family. But Blacks, Hispanics, and Gays say they still want more! Making a once moderate to liberal white person into a conservative white Republican because of needy minorities and jobs going to countries where the only English word they know is "Hello".

I don't see how Republicans can win without this scenario?

Find an issue to wedge Seattle/Portland from their suburbs or start performing dramatically better in the urban cores. Alternatively (or in conjunction), find a way to split off the peripheral Democratic cities (Eugene, Corvallis, Olympia, Vancouver, Bellingham, Everett) from the main urban area; Sam Reed and Kim Wyman have successfully done this on the statewide level.

They won't, unless the Republican Party becomes the more progressive one.

Republicans can win Oregon if they stop nominating extremely right wing nominees from state wide elections. They need more Gordon Smiths

did anybody read that New Yorker article about a predicted earthquake and tsunami the region isn't prepared for, and would collapse from.

Probably that.
