Washington's 1st legislative district

Washington 1st legislative district map

Washington's 1st legislative district is one of 49 districts in Washington state and is responsible for representation in the state legislature.

The district's legislators are state senator Derek Stanford and state representatives Davina Duerr (position 1) and Shelley Kloba (position 2), all Democrats.[1]

Patty Murray, Washington's current senior U.S. Senator and the fourth-highest-ranking Democrat and highest-ranking woman in the Senate, previously represented the 1st legislative district in the Washington State Senate for the 1989–1993 term before being elected to the United States Senate.[2] However, much of what was once her district is now included in the 32nd district, as she lived at the time in what is now Shoreline.

2012 redistricting

Following the 2010 United States census, the Washington Redistricting Commission was tasked with redrawing Washington's 49 legislative and 10 congressional districts. Before redistricting, Washington's 1st legislative district included a greater portion of unincorporated Snohomish County, particularly in the area west of Mill Creek, and none of the city of Kirkland was within its borders.[3]

1933-Present

After the passage of Initiative 57 and the 1930 redistricting cycle, the state senate and state house districts were geographically similar. While some senate districts would occasionally be broken up into house seats A and B, seats A and B were always contained in the Senate district boundaries.

The 1st Legislative district's state senate and house seats are identical geographically from 1933 to the present day.[11]
