2024 Washington House of Representatives election

The 2024 Washington House of Representatives election will be held on November 5, 2024, alongside the 2024 United States elections.

Partisan Background
In the 2020 Presidential Election, Democrat Joe Biden won 34 of Washington State's legislative districts and Republican Donald Trump won 15 of Washington State's legislative districts. Going into the 2024 Washington House of Representatives Election, Republicans held 10 House of Representatives seats in 5 different districts that Joe Biden won in 2020: District 12 (Biden + 3%); Majority-Minority District 14 (Biden + 14%); District 17 (Biden + 6% ); District 25 (Biden + 2% ); and District 26 (Biden + 6%).

Soto Palmer v. Hobbs
Judge Robert S. Lasnik of the United States District Court for the Western District of Washington ruled that the 15th legislative district violated the Voting Rights Act by diluting Latino votes in the Yakima Valley region and necessitated redrawing.

Plaintiffs provided five remedial maps awaiting Lasnik's approval. On March 16, 2024, the judge selected a new redistricting map which significantly changes the boundaries of several districts in the Yakima Valley, especially districts 14 and 17.

Primary elections are scheduled for August 6.
