Western side is much more Liberal, Eastern side is much more Conservative (with very strong leaning to Libertarian).
Also the dry side (my home town got on average 0.2 inches of rain a year) compared to the average for Western WA of 66.03 inches. So anything you think you know from TV/Movies is almost 100% wrong when it comes to Eastern Washington (or if we can ever split the state Cascadia).
Now yes these are generalizations, and only one man's view, but on growing up on the Eastern side, joining the army serving both at YTC and Fort Lewis, later federal Security/Law Enforcement again on both sides of the state.

Obviously this is where you live. My research and talking to people who live in the state corroborates this. I'm depicting the supporters of Cascadia in the east as being conservative libertarians for the most part.
