Washington goes 76% for the uncontested Trump (Cruz, Kasich and Carson were still on the ballot), giving him 41 more pledged delegates.

Trump has 1,153 pledged and 64 unpledged (mostly Pennsylvania and Guam), giving him assumed control over 1,217 of the 1,237 delegates he needs for the nomination.

The next (and last) contests are two weeks from tonight in California, Montana, New Jersey, New Mexico and South Dakota. They amount to 303 delegates. Trump needs 20. He'll probably get about 300.

Trump was in Albuquerque tonight, and the "protesters" were out in full force (if you're throwing bottles and rocks at the police and shooting out convention hall windows, maybe protester isn't quite the right term, but the media still calls it a protest). No reported injuries, but a lot of visual material to convince Trump undecideds that maybe the alternative is worse.

Editing - I've seen other reports that say the windows were broken by rocks rather than pellet guns, and some police officers were injured.
