Former sheriff and nurse vie for rural Snohomish County seat in House [View all]
MONROE — A former sheriff and a nurse will be vying for the redrawn Legislative District 12’s open seat in the state House.
In 2023, after a lawsuit from Yakima residents, a U.S. District Court judge ordered redistricting to comply with the Voting Rights Act.
The judge ruled the old districts impaired Latino voters’ participation.
New lines split the district’s population almost equally on each side of the Cascades. Parts of Duvall, Carnation, Fall City and North Bend now fall into the district. East Wenatchee is now in the 5th. The Monroe to Index corridor was and still is in the 12th District.
