Washington's 1st legislative district

Washington's 1st Legislative District is one of forty-nine districts in Washington state for representation in the state legislature. The T-shaped district is mostly north of the borders of King and Snohomish counties, stretching from High Bridge Road and Broadway Avenue in the east through the entirety of the cities of Bothell and Brier to I-5 in Mountlake Terrace in the west, though the district sweeps south of Bothell to part of Kirkland and reaches to Lake Washington.[1]

The district is currently represented in the State House by Davina Duerr (D) and Shelley Kloba (D), and in the State Senate by Derek Stanford (D). After Guy Palumbo's resignation from the State Senate in May 2019, the King and Snohomish County Councils jointly appointed Derek Stanford (formerly House Representative) and Davina Duerr (Deputy Mayor of Bothell) to their current positions.[2]

Patty Murray, Washington's current senior U.S. Senator, the fourth-highest-ranking Democrat and the highest-ranking woman in the Senate, represented the 1st legislative district in the Washington State Senate for the 1989-1993 term, directly before being elected to the United States Senate.[3] However most of her district is now the 32nd LD since she was living at the time in what is now Shoreline, Washington.

Following the 2010 United States Census, the Washington Redistricting Commission was tasked with re-drawing Washington's 49 legislative districts and 10 Congressional districts. Before redistricting, Washington's 1st Legislative District had a greater portion of unincorporated Snohomish County, particularly in the area west of Mill Creek, and none of the city of Kirkland within its borders.[4]
