Generally speaking all of Sound Transit voters were within the proposed RTID district. There were areas outside of the Sound Transit district that were RTID only mostly in Snohomish County. The differences in King and Pierce counties were primarily due to the different times when voters created the Sound Transit district (1996) and the proposed adoption of RTID (2007). State law requires that RTID boundaries be full precincts (as of 2006) and Sound Transit boundaries were based on precinct boundaries from 1996. Below are the entire ST and RTID district maps and the King, Pierce and Snohomish Maps.
