You're partially correct. Washington State indeed reported increased cases. But you need to take into account nationwide increase in testing - that obviously means we're now uncovering latent existing cases just because we're conducting more tests. (And yes, we don't truly know the whole picture until the reported numbers become case-limited, not test-limited, like right now.)

So, in this situation, what's more important is the amount of new cases of a state relative to nationwide uptick due to increased testing.  For the last few days, Washington State actually trailed behind the national trend. Washington State used to have the largest case count, but, right now, it is being dwarfed by New York State, and on the verge of being overtaken by other states. This tells one thing: the rate of spread in Washington State is slower than other parts of the nation.

This means that Washington State not only had an early start, but will have more time to prepare for the 'surge'. I read articles about Washington and Oregon having already acquired land/properties to build out makeshift hospitals and coronavirus patient wards. That's a very good sign for softening the blow lowering death rate.

So, you're technically right, but I differ in interpreting the data, and I stand by my analysis that despite early scare, Pacific NW states look better than other parts of the country now experiencing sudden surge.
