Wahkiacus, WA is a small rural town located in the foothills of the Cascade Mountains. With a population of just over 600, its government is fairly limited. However, it does have its own mayor and city council that are charged with representing the residents’ interests and managing the town’s resources. The mayor runs unopposed in most elections due to the town’s size and there are currently three members of the city council who are also elected by popular votes every two years. These representatives work hard to make sure that Wahkiacus remains a safe and vibrant community while also responding to any issues that might arise from local citizens or businesses. They use their position to ensure that everyone in the area has an equal voice when it comes to decisions about infrastructure, safety, education, and other important matters.

How It Works:
Here at BestPlaces, we were looking at the voting patterns since the 2000 election and realized that we could express the results of each election as one letter. R if the Republican Party candidate won, D for the Democrat and I for the Independent. The six elections (2000, 2004, 2008, 2012, 2016, 2020) would be expressed as six-letter word (R R D R R).
Then we went a little further and added the dimension of magnitude. If the difference of victory was greater than 10 percent, the letter is upper case, and lower case if the difference was less than 10 percent. This allows us to see interesting voting patterns at just a glance.
