Washington's 7th legislative district is one of 49 districts in Washington for representation in the state legislature. The district is in the extreme northeast of the state and borders Canada's British Columbia on the north and Idaho on the east. It includes all of Douglas, Ferry, Okanogan, Pend Orielle, and Stevens counties, along with portions of Grant and Spokane counties. [1] An earlier redistricting proposal from 2021 would have divided Okanogan County between the 7th and 13th districts. [2]
