The 2024 Washington State Treasurer election was held on November 5, 2024, to elect the Washington State Treasurer, concurrently with the 2024 U.S. presidential election, as well as elections to the U.S. Senate and various state and local elections, including for U.S. House and governor of Washington. Washington is one of two states that holds a top-two primary, meaning that all candidates are listed on the same ballot regardless of party affiliation, and the top two move on to the general election.

Incumbent Democratic State Treasurer Mike Pellicciotti was first elected back in 2020 defeating then-incumbent state treasurer Duane Davidson. ^[1] He was re-elected to a second term, defeating Republican challenger Sharon Hanek. ^[2]
