      Split Seattle like that and you would turn those four other states blue, lol.

      Not sure the folks in Bellingham are going to be too keen on joining North Dakota. Lynden might be cool with it though. Idaho claiming Spokane would be a hilarious (and tragic) turnabout. Would Okanogan even notice becoming part of Montana? The state capitol stays at least, but losing the Seattle metro region would be a major blow to the economy. Looks like Vancouver is now Washington’s largest city… And it’s just a subset of another state’s metro region!
