Following the previous election in 2020, Democrats held a 57-to-41-seat majority over Republicans.[1]
There was only one district, the 10th, whose two representatives were from different parties before the election. The flipping of the 10th district seat held by Republican Greg Gilday to the Democrats means that there were no split districts for the first time since Washington gained statehood in 1889.[lower-alpha 1][2][3]
