There's so much that I don't have the cultural context to understand, but the end result looks fairly good. I shall have to check my monitor, as the blue is so dark as to look black. I've found that colour and brightness differences at the extremes of the range can't be relied on. Very dark is effectively black for some people, and very pale comes out as white for others.

OK, Washington State. Does that present any design elements that you can use? For instance, State Flag colours.

Something I feel is missing, almost certainly because I'm an outsider, is any strong sense of place. Some of the stories I've heard about US politics and gerrymandering make me wonder if a map graphic would have a positive effect. Maybe there's scope to use pictures of local landmarks? But that goes a little bit out of the graphic-design box.

On the Environmental/Energy page, there's a typo in the second line of the E-waste section--looks like a missing word. Again, outside the graphic-design box. I'm pretty certain that you didn't write the words anyway; you've never come across as having quite that sort of tin ear for language.
