Washington's 2nd congressional district

WA-2 Midterms Intelligence

Rick Larsen’s 2nd is a durable blue seat with a pragmatic, infrastructure-first DNA. After 25 years in office, Larsen is insulated by a D+28 lean and a district that has shifted another 8 points left, but this is not a purely ideological constituency: it’s an older, high-cost Puget Sound seat where the median income is $90,029 even as home values hit $616,700. The defining feature is the mix—defense, ferry and freight interests, manufacturers, and professional-class voters—giving Larsen room to run as a practical deliverer on transportation, trade, and national security rather than a message liberal.

For advocates, the opening is competence and economic resilience, not protest politics. Tie any ask to mobility, supply chains, naval and aerospace jobs, or climate-resilient infrastructure, and show district-level payoff for working families squeezed by housing costs. The pressure points are affordability and aging: with 20.0% over 65, voters are attentive to health access, prescription costs, and reliable public works. Campaigns that marry environmental protection to jobs and system reliability will travel best here.

Representative Rick Larsen represents Washington's 2nd congressional district, serving 781,265 constituents. The district has an estimated median household income of $90,029 and an unemployment rate of 4.8%.
