WA-01 as a named congressional district characterized by its partisan distance from Washington statewide across recent cycles.
Scroll to read the full answer
WA-01 voted D+28.5 in 2024, opening a 29.9-point gap with the national R+1.4 result while Washington as a whole ran D+18.2. The district has drifted 1.9 points right since 2020, but the longer arc still runs 7.0 points more Democratic than its 2008 baseline of D+21.5, with 2016 the inflection where it pulled away from the state line. A 53.1% bachelor's-plus rate, $134,799 median household income, and 26.6% foreign-born share anchor the lean — this is the King-Snohomish suburban profile, not a statewide echo.
