Who serves in the Washington Senate?

Current members. Traceable sources.

This is a dated current-member snapshot. Membership follows the active term identified by the official chamber directory. A candidate list or vote lead does not establish a serving member. This view does not refresh automatically.

The official MemberList and DistrictsAndCounties views were retrieved November 6, 2026 (America/Chicago). Their 146 named records agree exactly on identities, districts, House positions, parties and profile links. All 146 individual official member profiles independently match those identities, parties, districts and positions.

The House has 98 member seats in 49 shared districts, with Position 1 and Position 2 in every district. The Senate has 49 single-member districts. Both House representatives are retained when a shared district is selected. No artificial geographic boundary is created between positions.

Vacancy assessment: Washington State Standard’s September 29 interview report attributes an October 31, 2026 resignation date to Skyler Rude. Both freshly checked official member directories omit House District 16 Position 2, and both former member-profile routes now say Legislator not found. This combined evidence supports the vacancy assessment; it is not an explicit government vacancy notice or an inference from omission alone. No successor or current party is assigned.

Regular legislative terms begin on the second Monday in January following election under RCW 44.04.021. The next regular transition is January 11, 2027. These records describe current 69th-Legislature service, not November 2026 candidate lists, vote leads or assumed incoming winners.

House affiliations are 59 Democratic and 38 Republican serving members plus the assessed vacancy; Senate affiliations are 30 Democratic and 19 Republican. Shared House District 26 has Adison Richards (Democrat, Position 1) and Michelle Valdez (Republican, Position 2). District 16 has Mark Klicker (Republican, Position 1) and the unassigned Position 2 vacancy. Stripe shares and totals count member seats, not area or population.

Current replacements and updated names are taken from the active directories and their individual profiles, including Victoria Hunt, Janice Zahn, Zach Hall, Osman Salahuddin, Edwin Obras, and Michelle Valdez. The historical 2025–2026 sponsor service and January 2026 printed posters are retained as context, not substituted for the current serving directory.

Affiliations follow the current structured member table and individual profile. A decorative portrait-card text error is not used to override those agreeing sources; Laurie Jinkins is Democrat in both the active member table and her official profile.

These are Washington state representation records, separate from the federal District of Columbia Council. No statewide ACS value, district demographic estimate, ZIP finding or ZCTA claim is inferred. This dated snapshot does not refresh automatically.

Affiliations come from the active official member table and verified individual profiles. Totals count House member seats. District 16 Position 2 is an assessed vacancy with no current party; District 26 has members of different parties. Stripes show member-seat affiliations or a vacancy, not vote shares or population.

Legal authority: WSDOT current legislative districts implementing the federal court’s 2024 Remedial Map 3B. Display: Census 2024 1:500,000 cartographic legislative districts, with all 98 chamber-specific district IDs and interior labels verified against current legal polygons. All source rings and islands retained. The same 49 districts elect two House representatives and one senator; House positions are member seats, not separate geographic areas. Small-scale display, not address-level district determination.
