In this election, about half of the 49 legislative districts in Washington chose a state senator for a four-year term to the Washington State Senate. The other half of state senators were chosen in the next biennial election, so that about half of the senators are elected at a time: one group in presidential election years (e.g., 2008, 2012, 2016) and the other in other even-numbered election years (e.g., 2010, 2014). All the members of the Washington State House of Representatives are elected concurrently with half of the senators every two years.

24 seats were regularly scheduled to be up this cycle, along with 1 additional seat holding a special election to fill an unexpired term: the 28th district, held by appointed Senator Steve O'Ban, whose former incumbent Mike Carrell vacated the seat.

A top two primary election on August 5, 2014, determined which candidates appear on the November ballot. Candidates were allowed to declare a party preference.
