There is no doubt that there is a divide in voting proportionality between Eastern and Western WA.
> This is to say he lost by a city not a country mile because he was very popular in Eastern WA where around 25% of the population lives but a dud elsewhere.
He very much did not lose by a city vs a country mile because of 21% of the vote that went 65-35. The race was close-ish because 1.2 million Western WA residents voted for him

Just did a quick back of the envelope tabulation and I get about 2 million for Biden vs 1.1 million for Trump in western WA which means that Biden got about 65% of the vote in western WA which is a larger percentage than Biden got in CA as a whole.
