King County, WA, is a little over 2,000,000 people, from Seattle etc. on the edge of Puget Sound to the peaks of the Cascade mountains. This means a lot of rural and wilderness land is included in the eastern 3/4, particularly in the south half of the county that's lower income. King County has been relatively progressive in in terms of growth management, well beyond other urban counties in the state. It's also socially liberal, including re-designating its namesake from a bad-guy King to MLK a decade ago, with his image being the new logo. Plenty of right wing attempts at both turning back progressive stuff and forming their own county on the east.
