The 2026 Washington House of Representatives election will be held on November 3, 2026, alongside the other 2026 United States elections.[1] Voters will elect two members of the Washington House of Representatives in all 49 of the U.S. state of Washington's legislative districts to serve a two-year term.[2]

Elections will be held concurrently with the 2026 US midterm election, as well as elections to the US House of Representatives, Washington State Senate, Washington Supreme Court, and various county and local offices.[3] Primary elections will be held on August 4, 2026 using a top-two primary where all candidates are listed on the same ballot and the two candidates with the most votes advance to the general election.[4][5]

Partisan background

Going into the 2026 election, only the 26th District has members of the House who are from different parties. An additional two districts have a State Senator whose political party is different than both members of the House from that district. The 10th District has two Democratic members of the State House with a Republican State Senator while the 18th District has two Republican members of the State House with a Democratic State Senator.

Republicans hold both house seats in 6 legislative districts which Kamala Harris won in 2024: District 12 (Harris +1), District 14 (Harris +0.5), District 17 (Harris +4), District 18 (Harris +1), District 25 (Harris +0.5), and District 35 (Harris +0.5). Republicans hold one of two house seats in one District which Kamala Harris won in 2024: District 26 (Harris +5).

On December 10th, 2025, the Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee (DLCC) announced that attaining a supermajority in the Washington House of Representatives was one of their targets for 2026.[6] A supermajority of 66 seats would require Democrats to net gain 7 seats in 2026. Republicans currently control 13 seats in the State House that Kamala Harris won in 2024 which would be the most likely targets for Democrats to attempt to flip.

On April 16th, 2026, the Republican State Leadership Committee (RSLC) announced that they would be investing in Washington state legislative races to protect incumbents and flip seats. They did not announce investments in any specific races at that time.[7][8]
