For those who don't want to read the entire Washington thread, can someone describe the districts of the Dems and Repubs who crossed over?

In the House, D crossovers:
Steve Kirby (Tacoma) - Not exactly the most socially liberal city out there, lots of socon suburbs
Mark Miloscia (Federal Way) - Exurban Seattle/Tacoma
Chris Hurst (Enumclaw) - Exurban Seattle/Tacoma

R crossovers:
Glenn Anderson (Fall City) - Eastside King County
Maureen Walsh (Walla Walla) - Lots of latte libs in Walla Walla

...Not really. Maybe a few...

In the city itself there are a fair few; in the surrounding areas there are a lot of crazy religious types though (Seventh Day Adventists in College Place, for example).

You want Bakersfield?  SPOKANE VALLEY.  Just sayin'.

Sad, but true.

Well from what I've heard, it's full of people who are addicted to crack and have Confederate flags on the backs of their trucks.

Washington is one of the most liberal and most conservative states.

People there tend to fall on the extreme ends of the spectrum. So yeah, lots of confederate flags and yoga studios, gun-nuts and vegans...

We take pride in knowing Oregon is worse in this regard.

I think the more correct way to identify Walla Walla would be college town.

I don't know. I've been there a few times and Whitman doesn't really take up that much of the city. The downtown area just feels very Seattle-lite to me.

There is also Walla Walla University, but it's probably not as politically active.

That's because it's a conservative Seventh-Day Adventist university in a super conservative Mormon-esque hegemony of a town (College Place).

Maureen Walsh has a lesbian daughter. She's also going viral.

That was pretty powerful. I feel like a really terrible person right now.
