White men in Washington state

[Old Man Willow]

According to CNN exit polls, when it comes to white males, they were one of only 5 states to vote for Kerry in 2004, and the only state (out of the 28 polled) to vote for Clinton in 2016. What makes white men more liberal in WA than in the rest of the country, even than their lower west coast neighbors?

Seattle and the social liberalism that goes with it.

I would think that Clinton won white men in Massachusetts, Vermont, and Hawaii too.

Not sure about Massachusetts. White men swung Republican there in 2008 and Obama barely won them in 2012. Granted, there were Massachusetts politicians on the ballot in 2004 & 2012, but I would think MA has enough blue collar types to have swung this demographic to Trump.
