The WaPo article isn't all that encouraging:
Minorities become a majority in Washington region
So, NOVA becomes like Chicago?
Minorities become a majority in Washington region
In Virginia, Prince William County is majority-minority.
With 55 percent of its residents white, Fairfax County could become majority-minority by the next census. So could Loudoun County, which is 62 percent white. Arlington County is one of the few places in the region where the percentage of whites is on the rise.
In most places, the demographic shift has been so rapid that even the officials tracking it have been stunned.

“What has happened in the past 15 years in the public schools of Northern Virginia is literally mind-boggling,” the report says. “Even for a region accustomed to constant and accelerated change, the spectacularly swift transformation of the racial and ethnic profile of Northern Virginia’s school-aged population is without precedent.”
Rep. Gerald E. Connolly (D-Va.) said the growth in racial and ethnic minorities has helped transform places such as Fairfax from reliably moderate Republican domains to ones where Democrats control the Board of Supervisors and that are represented in Congress and the General Assembly by Democrats.
“You’re going to start seeing that demographic impact politically in the outer suburbs” more and more, he predicted.
