Good job

This doesn't have quite the effect of the bacon strip New York, but it's still hilarious :)

There appears to be a place

Where you can draw a (nearly) straight line about 5 miles long and cross 9 congressional districts. Bravo good sir, bravo.

Better yet.

On the King County border, you can draw a circle with a radius of about 2 miles and hit all 10!

I

Probably could have kept two districts out of King county easily enough. I decided to see if I could get all ten in for bonus points!

Holy crap...

And it still looks better than Maryland!

If I'm not mistaken, 9 out of the 10 districts reach into King County, correct?

Wait, just noticed it was all 10.

Oh what a conniption this would cause!

Even some the Snohomish Co Ds that I know dislike King County. Imagine the reaction all the way from Pend Orille and Walla Walla!

Amazing

This definitely rivals abgins' baconmander. Weird to think I would be in the same district as Pend Oreille County. Pretty much a fuck you to communities of interest (in a good way).

Impressive

Just imagine the resentment if all 10 reps were King County dems.

Minor correction: your Obama margin doesn't add up (57.6 - 40.5 = 17.1 not 16.1)  I'm guessing you got those numbers from Wikipedia since theirs have that same inconsistency.

A last minute thing

I'll fix that up. Thanks!

Great map

I never thought I would get to see 7 out of 10 districts drawn into Seattle. Or one that connects Skagit County and Shoreline, albeit while going through Spokane.

It's never gonna happen

But it's still hilarious.
