Wikipedia has an article on: Washington

Washington State has been a swing state for a number of election cycles. While voting strongly for Al Gore in 2000 and John Kerry in 2004, the 2004 Governor's race between Christine Gregoire (D) and Dino Rossi (R) was one of the closest elections in US History, with the final tally only 129 votes difference. Gregoire won.

With the Governor's mansion in Democratic Party hands, along with wins in the US Senate race, 6 of 9 US House races and state senate and house races, Washington is firmly blue. The Democrats have strong majorities in the State House and Senate. Wikipedia has much more information.
