The 2024 Washington gubernatorial election will be held on November 5, 2024. The top-two primary will be held on August 6.

Though incumbent Democratic Governor Jay Inslee is eligible to run for re-election to a fourth term, he announced in May 2023 that he would not do so.

The primary election will take place on August 6, 2024.

Background

As a generally liberal West Coast state, Washington has not had a Republican governor since John Spellman left office in 1985, the longest streak of Democratic leadership of any state in the country and the third longest streak of one-party leadership after South Dakota (which has not had a Democratic governor since Harvey L. Wollman left office in 1979) and Utah (which has not had a Democratic governor since Scott M. Matheson left office nine days prior to Spellman in 1985).

Incumbent Governor Jay Inslee, who previously served in the U.S. House, was first elected to the governorship in 2012 and won reelection in 2016 and 2020, by increasing margins each time. On May 1, 2023, Inslee announced he would not seek re-election for a fourth term.
