Here's how all the counties in Oregon look:

Baker (Baker City): Yes, has US-30
Benton (Corvallis): Yes, has US-20, had US-99W
Clackamas (Oregon City): No, but had US-99E pre-1964, but I-205
Clatsop (Astoria): Yes, has US-30 (western terminus) and US-101
Columbia (St. Helens): Yes, has US-30
Coos (Coquille): No, though just a few miles off US-101
Crook (Prineville): Yes, has US-26, had US-126
Curry (Gold Beach): Yes, has US-101
Deschutes (Bend): Yes, has US-97 and US-20
Douglas (Roseburg): No, had US-99 but has I-5
Gilliam (Condon): No, never has.
Grant (Canyon City): Yes, has US-395
Harney (Burns): Yes, has US-20 and US-395
Hood River (Hood River): Yes, has US-30
Jackson (Medford): No, had US-99 but has I-5
Jefferson (Madras): Yes, has US-26 and US-97
Josephine (Grants Pass): Yes, has US-199, had US-99
Klamath (Klamath Falls): Yes, has US-97
Lake (Lakeview): Yes, has US-395
Lane (Eugene): No, had US-99 and US-126 (before that, US-28), but has I-5 and I-105
Malheur (Vale): Yes, has US-20 and US-26
Marion (Salem): No, had US-99E, would have had proposed US-320 (on OR-22), but has I-5
Morrow (Heppner): No, never has.
Multnomah (Portland): Yes, has US-26, US-30, had US-99W, US-99E, has I-5, I-205, I-405, I-84
Polk (Dallas): No, never has.  Close to former US-99W, would have had proposed US-320 (on old alignment of OR-22)
Sherman (Moro): Yes, has US-97
Tillamook (Tillamook): Yes, has US-101
Umatilla (Pendleton): Yes, has US-30, US-395
Union (La Grande): Yes, has US-30
Wallowa (Enterprise): No, never has
Wasco (The Dalles): Yes, has US-30, US-197
Washington (Hillsboro): Yes, has US-26.  Didn't have one until sometime in the early-1990s (?) after annexation
Wheeler (Fossil): No, never has
Yamhill (McMinnville): No, had US-99W

So currently, the seats of 5 counties: Gilliam, Morrow, Polk, Wallowa and Wheeler Counties have never had a US Highway.  Washington County's seat only gained it in the past quarter-century or so.

And the seats of 11 counties currently don't: the 5 previously mentioned, plus Clackamas, Coos, Douglas, Lane, Marion, and Yamhill.  Curiously, this includes the state capital and third-largest city (Salem), the former capital (Oregon City) and the second-largest city in the state (Eugene).

huskeroadgeek

There's a lot of county seats in this part of the country that never have had a US Highway running through them. I'll just list Nebraska's that fit this description:
Arthur County(Arthur)
Banner County(Harrisburg)
Blaine County(Brewster)
Boone County(Albion)
Butler County(David City)
Cedar County(Hartington)
Clay County(Clay Center)(US 6 is 4 miles N.)
Custer County(Broken Bow)
Dixon County(Ponca)(US 20 is 7 miles S.)
Frontier County(Stockville)
Furnas County(Beaver City)(US 283 is 3 miles W.)
Garfield County(Burwell)
Grant County(Hyannis)
Hayes County(Hayes Center)
Knox County(Center)
Nance County(Fullerton)
Nuckolls County(Nelson)(US 136 is 4 miles S.)
Pawnee County(Pawnee City)
Perkins County(Grant)
Saline County(Wilber)
Sarpy County(Papillion)(US 75 is 5 miles E.)
Scotts Bluff County(Gering)(US 26 is 3 miles N.)
Sherman County(Loup City)
Stanton County(Stanton)(US 275 is 5 miles N.)
Thurston County(Pender)
Valley County(Ord)
Wayne County(Wayne)

In addition 4 other county seats were once served by US highways, but are not now:
Boyd County(Butte)-once served by US 281(US 281 is now 9 miles E.)
Hooker County(Mullen)-once served by US 83
McPherson County(Tryon)-once served by US 83
Pierce County(Pierce)-once served by US 81(US 81 is now 5 miles E.)

Nevada counties and service by US Route:
A US route in parentheses indicates the county seat was formerly served by the route.

Carson City: YES - US 50, US 395
Churchill Co. [Fallon]: YES - US 50, US 95
Clark Co. [Las Vegas]: YES - US 93, US 95, (US 91, US 466)
Douglas Co. [Minden]: YES - US 395
Elko Co. [Elko]: NO - (US 40)
Esmeralda Co. [Goldfield]: YES - US 95
Eureka Co. [Eureka]: YES - US 50
Humboldt Co. [Winnemucca]: YES - US 95 (US 40)
Lander Co. [Battle Mountain]: NO - (US 40)
Lincoln Co. [Pioche]: YES - US 93
Lyon Co. [Yerington]: YES - US 95 Alt (US 95)
Mineral Co. [Hawthorne]: YES - US 95
Pershing Co. [Lovelock]: YES - US 95 (US 40)
Nye Co. [Tonopah]: YES - US 6, US 95
Storey Co. [Virginia City]: NO
Washoe Co. [Reno]: YES - US 395 (US 40)
White Pine Co. [Ely]: YES - US 6, US 50, US 93


So the only Nevada county whose current* county seat has never been served by a U.S. Highway is Storey County with seat of Virginia City. However, US 50 is 8 miles south and US 395 is about 15 miles northwest.

(* = I say "current" because I know a few county seats have changed around, but I don't know all the old seats to go into more depth.)

Raymond, MS has no U.S. highway. It should be noted that the county has two seats and that the other seat has atleast 3 U.S. highways.

There's a few counties in NY I know of that don't have US Highways at all, let alone in their seats:

- Suffolk County (seat: Riverhead)
- Nassau County (seat: Mineola)
- Queens County
- Kings County (Brooklyn)
- Richmond County (Staten Island) only had US 9 run through it for 3 years in the 1930s

You can add Centreville, Hillsdale, Lapeer, Roscommon, and Eagle River (although 41 is only 2 miles away from this unincorporated place, thus no boundaries) to this list. EDIT: Forgot US-27 once ran through Roscommon.

Clatsop (Astoria) also used to have US 26.

Raymond, MS has no U.S. highway. It should be noted that the county has two seats and that the other seat has atleast 3 U.S. highways.

There are a number of places in Mississippi that would fit that designation. Just a few off the top of my head:

Bruce (Calhoun County)
Raleigh (Smith County)
Kosciusko (Attala County)
Carthage (Leake County)
Philadelphia (Neshoba County)
Louisville (Winston County)
Mayersville (Issaquena County)
Ripley (Tippah County; US 72 runs through northern Tippah)
Ashland (Benton County; US 72 also runs through the northern part of the county)
Leakesville (Greene County; US 98 runs through southern Greene)
Walthall (Webster County; US 82 is five miles south at Eupora)
Charleston (Tallahatchie County; the other county seat, Sumner, is touched by US 49E)
Bay Springs & Paulding (Jasper County; I-59 & US 11 run to the southeast)
De Kalb (Kemper County; US 45 runs east of De Kalb. Two state highways run through the town)
Liberty (Amite County; US 98 cuts through the extreme northeastern portion of the county)
Lexington (Holmes County; U.S. 49E and 51 run through the county but not Lexington)
Coffeeville & Water Valley (Yalobusha County; both I-55 and US 51 runs in the western part of the county well west of the dual county seats)
Decatur (Newton County; US 80 and I-20 is seven miles south)
Houston (Chickasaw County)


Marks in Quitman County used to not have a U.S. highway running through it until U.S. 278 was duplexed with MS 6 a few years ago.

* Clinton, East Feliciana Parish
* Pointe a la Hache, Plaquemines Parish
* Chalmette, Saint Bernard Parish
* Thibodaux, Lafourche Parish
* Plaquemine, Iberville Parish
* Donaldsonville, Ascension Parish
* Saint Martinville, Saint Martin Parish
* New Roads, Pointe Coupee Parish
* Cameron, Cameron Parish
* Marksville, Avoyelles Parish
* Harrisonburg, Catahoula Parish
* Benton, Bossier Parish
* Farmerville, Union Parish
* Oak Grove, West Carroll Parish

The Minnesota list...shorter than one might otherwise expect, but that's due to several US route decommissionings over the years:

Foley (Benton County) - US 10 runs through the county but not through Foley.
Mantorville (Dodge County) - US 14 runs 3 miles away but never went through Mantorville.
Caledonia (Houston County) - US 14/61 run through the northeast corner.  Former US 16 ran east-west, but never closer than 8.5 miles to Caledonia.
Baudette (Lake of the Woods County) - One of only four counties in Minnesota that have never had a US highway, period.
Le Center (Le Sueur County) - US 169 runs through the northwest corner but nowhere near Le Center.
Ada (Norman County) - US 75 runs along the western county edge but not near Ada.
Glenwood (Pope County) - The second of the four counties that have never had a US highway.
Red Lake Falls (Red Lake County) - US 2 runs along the south county border, 8.5 miles away.
Roseau (Roseau County) - The third of the four counties never to have had a US highway.
Gaylord (Sibley County) - US 169 nicks the southeastern corner of the county.
Stillwater (Washington County) - The only one in the Twin Cities metro, though the county overall has four.
St. James (Watonwan County) - The last of the counties to have never had a US highway, period.
Buffalo (Wright County) - US 12 is 6 miles south, US 52 is 6 miles northeast.

So of 87 counties, that makes 13, with 4 of those never having had a US highway anywhere in the county.  In light of brownpelican's post, it should be noted that 11 of the 13 don't have any Interstate mileage, either.

The following Wisconsin county seats have never had a US highway, including the one I grew up in*:

Alma (Buffalo)
Balsam Lake (Polk)
Darlington (Lafayette)
Friendship (Adams)
Green Lake (Green Lake)
Juneau (Dodge)
Keshena (Menomonee)
Kewaunee (Kewaunee)
Medford (Taylor)
Monroe (Green)
Montello (Marquette)
Phillips (Price)*
Shawano (Shawano)
Siren (Burnett)
Sturgeon Bay (Door)
Wautoma (Waushara)
Wisconsin Rapids (Wood)

Then there's Baraboo, the county seat of Sauk County.  US 12 runs through West Baraboo, but not Baraboo itself, and I am not familiar with any old routing that would have taken it into Baraboo.  That may be because I just do not know.  
"That's just like... your opinion, man."

Landshark

Washington's list is short.  Most of the ones that never had a US Highway are on the islands or on the peninsula.

Friday Harbor (San Juan)
Coupeville (Island)
Port Orchard (Kitsap)
Port Townsend (Jefferson)
Republic (Ferry)
Ephrata (Grant)
Asotin (Asotin)


Cathlamet & Stevenson were once served by US-830.

-Owyhee (Murphy, only Idaho 78)
-Teton (Driggs, only Idaho 33)

Connecticut has not had county governments since 1960. But, historically:

Fairfield County (Newtown): served by US 6, historically also by US 202
New Haven County (New Haven): served by US 1 and US 5
Middlesex County (Middletown): no service, current or historic
