The Standard's guide to the 2024 Washington state primary election

Washington on Friday, July 19 kicked off an 18-day voting period in this year’s Aug. 6 primary election.

To help inform voters, staff at the Standard interviewed over two dozen candidates in some of the most closely-watched and competitive state-level and congressional races to learn more about why they’re running and their priorities.

You can find these interviews along with an overview of each race below.

Overall, there are 654 elected offices and 94 local measures in front of voters in the primary, according to the secretary of state’s office. For more on candidates in other federal, statewide, legislative, and judicial races, you can check out the state’s online voter guide here.
