Spokane anchors eastern Washington's economy and culture, yet its metro-area Democratic lean of 31-plus points signals that population density and university presence can override the region's traditionally conservative rural surroundings.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 41.8 points in 1896 and a Republican high of 50.7 points in 1904. Between 2020 and 2024 the metro moved 0.8 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 8.4 points.
A population of 597,123, a 81% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $77,837 describe the metro. The metro's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Bend, OR and Fort Collins-Loveland, CO.
