Based on the voting districts alone, those areas aren’t the least populated in the state, but they’re also definitely not cities.
Since those areas also don’t have hiking trails unlike a huge swath of the state, I’m going guess the terrain along the coast there is not easily traverseable.
Generally speaking, there is very little percentage of either state’s population living directly on or near the actual ocean facing Pacific coast… WA is basically the Seattle metro area, OR is basically the Portland metro area.
Why do few people live on the Pacific Coast?
Short answer is basically there aren’t really any great places for serious ports there.

That’s Washington. OP circled the Oregon coast
Technically they circled both. That’s basically the entire PNW coast
Nah the PNW coast includes Canada too
Saw Seattle, didn’t think further.
