Fascinating Map Shows How State Funding Is Distributed by County

We might not realize what a difference there is in the distribution of revenue from the 
State to each WA County.

Thanks to Upper Left and Goldy (The Stranger) for this useful illustration of how each county benefits from tax dollars compared to what they put in.

For instance King County receives $0.62, when Yakima County receives $2.24.

Also the map illustrates how each county typically votes by party.

From the Stranger -

King County, with roughly 29 percent of the state population, produced 42 percent of state tax revenues, yet it received back less than 26 percent of state benefits. That's a return of only 62 cents on the dollar for our state's Democratic stronghold.
