Of note, Trump won Dungeness East by one vote, 351-350 while Clinton won Dungeness West by 10, 192-182 and she won Elk, between the Sequim city limits and Carlsborg by six, 79-73.

Clinton won all of the City of Sequim’s six precincts with a total of 1,980 votes to 1,777. She also received the only triple digit precinct win by Cline Spit in a 394-261 vote.
