Enumclaw Area Only Pro-Trump Place In King County

ENUMCLAW - It was a narrow victory, but president-elect Donald Trump earned a majority of votes in the King County portion of Legislative District 31, a region that encompasses Enumclaw and much of southeast part of the county.

That's unique because Trump did not get more than 37 percent of the vote in any of the 16 other legislative districts in the county. According to King County Elections, Trump got about 46 percent of the vote (5,825 votes) in the King County portion of this district compared to Clinton, who got 45 percent (5,586 votes).

The Enumclaw area differed from statewide vote totals, too. Clinton beat Trump 54 percent to 36 percent in Washington. That's out of a total of about 3 million votes statewide.

Only 12,449 people voted in 2016 in the King County portion of this legislative district - 45 percent turnout - which is the second-smallest number of votes in any of the 17 legislative districts in the county.

Republican gubernatorial candidate Bill Bryant beat incumbent Democratic Gov. Jay Inslee in this district, but U.S. Sen. Patty Murray, a Democrat, beat Republican challenger Chris Vance.

Note: These figures only include voters inside King County - Legislative District 31 includes portions of Pierce County.
