Top Ten WA Counties: State Revenues and Expenses for the General Fund ($millions). Only King and Whatcom county return more GF than they expense. Eight of the top ten revenue counties run a deficit of $1.36B essentially 'paid for' by King County's $2.3B surplus revenue. King County generates more GF-S revenue than the next nine WA counties combined.
This piece examines one (big) part of the complicated picture of state and county revenues and expenditures. Not all county revenues and expenditure cycle through the state. $15.8B GF-S (General Fund - State) return to the state as revenues. Most counties receive more than their revenue to expend. The charts below (coupled with tables in the end notes) help us see which counties return more GF-S revenue than GF-S expenditures. In the series of pie charts below, we can see GF-S expenditures by category and the percentage the top counties expend for those categories. The second largest category ("All Other Agencies/Debt Service") is also the least granular. Some of the agencies and funding included in "All Other Agencies/Debt Service" can be found in a list of 'GF-S Categories' in the end notes. The OFM link for this data is here. R Code for the charts is here. Click to enlarge charts.
The next table below gives GF-S (Revenues - Expenditures) for all counties except King. It is worth noting that many of the large counties with the largest law and justice needs are running the farthest in the 'red': Yakima, Pierce, Spokane, Clark.
 |
| Most WA counties generate less GF-S revenue than they expend. ($millions). |
In the next chart, we can see how King county's excess of generated revenues 'covers' the GF-S expenses in counties that are 'short' in GF-S revenues:
 |
| That's not King County giving us the the big red finger!. That long red bar is the $2.3B in revenue King County returns over expenditures to rest of WA state. ($millions). |
Counties like King, San Juan, and Whatcom expend much less GF-S than other counties per person than the revenue per person they collect. Whatcom, Skagit and San Juan are the fifth, third, and second highest in GF-S revenues/person. Pierce, Clark, Spokane, and Yakima have relatively high per person GF-S expenditures.

"We gave some thought into how to provide the most useful level of detail without it becoming cumbersome. As a result, the activities with the strongest regional ties—DSHS, Corrections, K-12, and Higher Education were shown in greater detail, while others—Debt Service, Natural Resources, Department of Revenue, Ecology, Agriculture, L&I, etc.—were apportioned together.
Almost three-quarters of state expenditures were in DSHS, Corrections, K-12, and Higher Education related activities. The remaining expenditures were across 69 other agencies/departments/
