Each row is a county-allocated estimate of U.S. House votes for this district — county returns apportioned onto its boundary, not precinct-counted. “Vote lead” is the estimated local lead here, not necessarily the winner of the full contest.
With a 2024 presidential margin of D+38.2, this district anchors heavily in dense, urban Puget Sound territory where high educational attainment and a younger renter population reinforce consistently lopsided statewide results.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 54.0 points in 1936 and a Republican high of 35.0 points in 1924. Between 2020 and 2024 the district moved 2.6 points toward the Democratic candidate; the 2024 margin was 38.2 points.
A population of 156,969, a 69% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $92,436 describe the district. The district's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Legislative (Senate) District 40 and Legislative (Senate) District 27.

Twin score (0–100) = weighted cosine between tier-standardized fingerprints: presidential margins 2000–2024 with 12-yr trend and elasticity, ACS income, age, education, population and race, top reported ancestries, and religious adherence — chips name the closest-shared dimensions and the widest gap.
