The 2024 Washington State Senate elections will be held on November 5, 2024, with a nonpartisan blanket primary election to be held on August 6, 2024. Voters in 25 of the 49 state legislative districts will elect Senators to the Washington State Senate.[1] The elections will coincide with other elections for federal, state, and local offices.

## Background[edit]

### Soto Palmer v. Hobbs[edit]

Judge Robert S. Lasnik of the United States District Court for the Western District of Washington ruled that the 15th legislative district violated the Voting Rights Act by diluting Latino votes in the Yakima Valley region and necessitated redrawing.[2][3][4]

Plaintiffs provided five remedial maps awaiting Lasnik's approval.[5] The deadline for the finalized districts to be used in the 2024 elections is March 25.[6] Although only one district was targeted, redrawn maps could shift nearby districts significantly and change the partisan composition of the Washington State Legislature.[7]

## Outgoing incumbents[edit]

### Democrats[edit]

1. 3rd: Andy Billig is retiring.[8]
2. 5th: Mark Mullet is running for Governor.[9]
3. 22nd: Sam Hunt is retiring.[10]
4. 24th: Kevin Van De Wege is running for Washington Commissioner of Public Lands.[11]
