Incumbent state Rep. Derek Stanford (D-Bothell) ran against Josh Colver, a Republican from Bothell, to retain position 1. Stanford was leading with 69 percent of the vote to Colver’s 31 percent in initial returns.

Debra Blodgett, chair of the Snohomish County Republican Party, challenged position 2 incumbent and Democrat Rep. Shelley Kloba, a former Kirkland City councilmember. Kloba was leading 64 percent to 36 percent as of election night.

All results are according to the secretary of state’s website.
