Editing Skagit County, Washington (section)

==Politics==
Skagit County had been a [[bellwether]] county since the election of [[Ronald Reagan]] in [[1980 United States presidential election in Washington (state)|1980]], voting for the winning candidate in each subsequent presidential election until it was carried by [[Democratic Party (United States)|Democrat]] [[Hillary Clinton]] in [[2016 United States presidential election in Washington (state)|2016]] (though only by a plurality). This democratic trend continued, with Skagit County voting for [[Kamala Harris]] in [[2024 United States presidential election in Washington (state)|2024]] despite a nationwide rightward trend.
