While residents in western Washington state — Seattle, to be more specific — are dealing with an ineffectual government, oppressive regulations on business and leftist activists who at one point occupied an entire neighborhood, not a lot of attention has been paid to those living in the eastern part of the state.

Rural Washington, like rural areas in most states, tends to be more conservative.

However, that doesn’t seem to be the case in Whitman County, which sits just west of the state’s border with Idaho.
