Early maps of legislative districts endanger some incumbents
OLYMPIA — The once-a-decade realignment of legislative boundaries kicked into gear Tuesday with release of four approaches to redrawing the lines of Washington’s 49 districts.
Those proposals could bring big changes for some Snohomish County communities, and big challenges for incumbent lawmakers.
On Tuesday, each of the state Redistricting Commission’s voting members — Democrats April Sims and Brady Walkinshaw Pinero and Republicans Joe Fain and Paul Graves — released a map showing how they would reset the boundaries.
It didn’t take long to see there are big cartographic and political wrinkles to iron out before a Nov. 15 deadline to adopt a final map, which will be in place for the 2022 elections.
