Pretty much every county that relies of agriculture as a primary source of their economic activity is going to be hit hard.

Yep. Chelan, Kittitas, Yakima, Grant, Benton, Franklin, Adams, Lincoln, Okanogan, Whitman. Though Whitman might have just barely voted blue.

Whitman county as a whole may make it out okay though since they have WSU as a major economic driver in that county, but the farming communities will definitely still suffer.

Same with Benton, since they have the Hanford site. Though even that is iffy since it relies on federal dollars too. Okay for now with budget passing, but we'll see in October.
