As others have said, outside the cities, the area is pretty deep red and would be against it and probably welcome the military in.
So that would leave the small urban areas that have no resources and now have all the resource routes blocked. They start to starve, if it lasts that long, military goes back in removes the local govt. hold new elections.
The issue is that the state's National Guard is all they've got really.
When something like 45% of the vote it R ... the "State Guard" is going to "not participate", "collapse into anarchy", or possibly "Join the Feds".
Washington State, in particular, the "State Patrol" is "Speeders". They aren't numerous enough in any directions to be "It" - We've always runs this by handing that off to the Sheriff's Depts - and "Three Blue Counties secede" isn't going to do anything for anyone.
During the Civil War, there was fierce loyalty to your particular State.
It would all play out precisely like ANTIFA/BLM trying to egg the suburbs into a race war. "But! They'll have XYZ!" Sure.
They've just spent three months straight demonizing their best chance of trained troops
If the cities only succeed, really all the D areas, the country would be SO much better. Individual responsibility and freedom again. D welfare can not continue without working people's tax contributions. All D areas that seceded would collapse under their own weight. It would be a good thing for all.
The other states are strongly considering it. Okay not really but the feeling is there. Food, water, power will all be huge problems for them if they try.
The suburbs in the Seattle Metro area have been slowly turning blue for the past 25+ years.
Same for Tacoma & Olympia.
I’m a native & have watched this happen.
As far as the areas outside the aforementioned, they tend to be red.
The west coast has 3 cesspools: LA, SF & Seattle. I have lived in all three cities. Portland is a latecomer.
The decline has been radical & quite sad.
Pretty much all of them are once you get away from the big cities. I grew up in OC, California. It was pretty great but couldn't imagine living anywhere in CA now.
States can't secede from the Union without the consent of the other states.

Any reason why this corridor is so blue? Does it have to do with Amazon and their exploitation of workers?

I think they’d just end up coming back to try to rob us once they’re all war torn and starving.
I think everyone will say "yes please".

Washington is pretty solid outside of Seattle and Olympia IMO.

Forgot about Tacoma
