The 2020 Washington House of Representatives elections took place as part of the biennial United States elections on November 3, 2020. Washington state voters elected state representatives in all 98 seats of the House, electing two state representatives in each of the 49 Washington state legislative districts. State representatives serve two-year terms in the Washington House of Representatives.

Following the previous election in 2018, Democrats held a 57-to-41-seat majority over Republicans.

Democrats retained control of the Washington House of Representatives following the 2020 general election, with the balance of power remaining unchanged at 57 (D) to 41 (R).[1]

Only one district, the 10th, elected its two representatives from different parties.
