Snohomish County legislative districts

How to contact your state lawmakers — and other fun facts

This year it’s a 105-day session in Olympia. Democrats control everything.

The 2019 session of Washington’s Legislature begins Monday in Olympia. It is scheduled to last 105 days. Democrats will enjoy a trifecta of political power with control of the House, Senate and governor’s mansion. Republicans vow to seek out areas for bipartisan agreement such as improving mental health services and reducing homelessness. The one task they must complete is passage of a new two-year state budget.

105 Days: In odd years, when a budget is adopted, the Legislature meets for 105 days. In even years it is 60 days. Last scheduled day: April 28, 2019.

152,000: Approximate average population per Washington legislative district.

Below are the lawmakers in the seven districts serving Snohomish and Island counties and how to reach them by email and phone.

Messages can also be left for any of them at the Legislative Hotline, 800-562-6000. The hotline is also a place to check the progress of bills and learn when hearings or legislative action are planned. You can sign up to receive emails of upcoming committee meetings, press releases from agencies and other legislative events. Information to do that can be found on the Legislature website at leg.wa.gov.
