The Washington State GOP opened its caucuses to the public, as it normally does, and the public picked Cruz supporters for 40 of the 41 elected delegates (the remaining one is a Trump supporter).
The Washington State GOP also decided to bind those delegates to the result of the state presidential preference primary, and the public voted for Trump, and he will receive 41 of the 44 delegates (the other three will be unbound).
This is not "establishment" versus "grassroots." This is "grassroots" versus "the general public." The grassroots picked Cruz, and the general public picked Trump.
This is why the Democrats in WA do not use the result of the primary to allocate their delegates, because they believe the grassroots, not the general public, should pick the party leaders and nominees.

"It is the common fate of the indolent to see their rights become a prey to the active. The condition upon which God hath given liberty to man is eternal vigilance; which condition if he break, servitude is at once the consequence of his crime and the punishment of his guilt."
