Gonna opine that Corvallis is kind of a weird and random inclusion. Nothing wrong with it but it's much smaller than most of these cities, it's barely over the threshold to be an MSA.
If you wanted a second PNW city in this bracket along with Everett --- and since Eugene and Spokane were covered in the last bracket --- I'd have suggested Bellingham or Bend or Olympia. (Olympia's population is also in the lower-MSA range, but it punches way above its weight in cultural offerings and history, and has its own suburbs)

Kinda threw in Corvallis since it is a college town (Oregon State University) and I already have quite a few college towns in this Royal Rumble so why not lol
I promise the next poll will have all choices with similar population
