Washington's 12th Legislative District
The rural district in north central Washington contains all of Chelan County and parts of King and Snohomish counties in Western Washington. It was redrawn again in 2024 following a U.S. District Court judge's order to amend 15th district in Yakima County; the 12th district was expanded across the Cascades and lost Wenatchee and East Wenatchee to the 7th district.
As of 2024, the district's legislators are state senator Brad Hawkins and state representatives Keith Goehner (position 1) and Mike Steel (position 2), all Republicans. The 2024 redistricting is expected to make the 12th district competitive for the Democratic Party, which did not field candidates in some past elections.
