Washington's 2nd legislative district
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Washington's 2nd legislative district is one of forty-nine districts in Washington state for representation in the state legislature. The district runs mostly east-west along the southern extreme of Pierce County but also includes part of Thurston County, including Yelm and Lacey.[1][2]
The largely rural district is represented by state senator Jim McCune and state representatives Andrew Barkis (position 1) and Matt Marshall (position 2), all Republicans.[3]

1933-Present
After the passage of Initiative 57 and the 1930 redistricting cycle, the state senate and state house districts were geographically similar. While some senate districts would occasionally be broken up into house seats A and B, seats A and B were always contained in the Senate district boundaries.
The 2nd Legislative district's state senate and house seats are identical geographically from 1933 to the present day.[4]
