Palmer Bill Aims King County Control of Legislature
Palmer Initiative Bill No. 45 seeks to reapportion the state legislature giving King county 28 percent of seats while 18 counties lose representation. It would force East Side candidates to cover vast districts up to 12,265 square miles, surpassing many western districts in campaign scope. The measure reflects Seattle’s push for influence through the Legislature and alters district lines across multiple counties.
