Washington state legislative districts. The following is a list of the forty-nine legislative districts in the U.S. state of Washington following the 2012 redistricting. From the time Washington achieved statehood in 1889, it has elected members for representation to the state legislature.
The number of congressional districts in a state is proportional to the state population. For example, California elected 53 representatives to the 113th Congress, the most of any state, while a less populated state, such as West Virginia, only elected three representatives.
