Seattle (where I live)? Yeah, that would be obvious discrimination. A few counties further inland? Probably not statistically significant. I’m not sure how or if that reasoning applies to FTC purview, but my intuition is that corporations of the size that might warrant interest aren’t likely to be partisan targets in any stable or persistent way.
