Washington’s age-adjusted coronary heart
disease death rate during 2009–2011 was 100
deaths per 100,000 people. Age-adjusted rates
ranged from 72 deaths per 100,000 people in
San Juan County to 195 deaths per 100,000
people in Pacific County. Eight counties had
age-adjusted death rates that were higher than
the state rate: Pacific, Yakima, Stevens, Lincoln,
Lewis, Grays Harbor, Cowlitz and Pierce
counties. Nine counties had age-adjusted death
rates that were lower than the state rate: Clark,
Kitsap, Thurston, King, Island, Whatcom, Skagit,
Mason and San Juan counties. The rate of
death from coronary heart disease in Garfield
County was not included in the chart because
there were too few deaths, less than 10 in the
three-year period, to report a reliable rate.
