Washington ratified its constitution and held its first state elections in 1889, the year it was admitted to the union as a state. It established the positions of Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Secretary of State, Attorney General, State Treasurer, State Auditor, Commissioner of Public Lands, and Superintendent of Public Instruction. The position of Insurance Commissioner was legislatively established in 1907. All positions are elected to four-year terms, concurrent with presidential elections. Washington is one of three states that elects nine separate statewide officials, while six others elect ten.

The table also indicates the historical party composition in the State Senate, State House of Representatives, State delegation to the U.S. Senate, and State delegation to the U.S. House of Representatives. State senators are elected to four-year terms, with half elected every two years. State representatives are elected to two-year terms, and two from each of 49 legislative districts in separate elections.

While the U.S. state of Washington is considered a solidly Democratic state, it mainly elected Republican candidates during its first forty years of statehood. It currently holds the longest streak of Democratic governors in the nation, having last elected a Republican to the top executive office in 1980.[1][2]{{#tag:ref|Note that this statistic includes only states; the District of Columbia has been controlled by elected Democrats since 1975.|group="lower-alpha"}} Despite that, Republicans have held the Secretary of State since 1965. The office of auditor however has been held continuously by Democrats since 1933, when the national wave for President Franklin Roosevelt swept the party into every statewide race and congressional district except the uncontested superintendent of public education. That position was made non-partisan in 1940. At the presidential level, Washington is part of the "blue wall", having voted for all Democratic nominees since 1988.

Prior to statehood, the President of the United States appointed a territorial governor and secretary of state, who served as acting governor when the governor was absent from the state. The position of attorney general was established in 1887, and only one person held office before statehood. A non-voting delegate was elected to the House of Representatives.

The nine members of the Washington Supreme Court are also elected statewide to six-year terms but on a non-partisan basis and are not listed here. However all members of the court are considered liberal-leaning, matching the state's overall electorate.[3][4]

Voters do not register as members of political parties.

The tables below show the history of officeholders elected to statewide executive offices, the state legislature, and the U.S. Congress, as well as the winners of the state's electoral college votes.

For years in which a presidential election was held, the table indicates which party's nominees received the state's electoral votes.
