The 24th LD is the largest district by land mass in Washington State. It spans the Olympic Peninsula from Neah Bay in the northwest (where Patrick lives), across to Port Townsend in the northeast, down to Grays Harbor in the southwest, and cuts off at the Mason County and Kitsap County border in the southeast.Our three counties are Clallam, Jefferson, and Grays Harbor, and we are home to seven recognized Tribal Nations, including the Makah, Quieleute, Hoh, Quinalt, Lower Elwha, Jamestown S'Klallam and Port Gamble (just outside the district border in Kitsap County)!If you're curious what legislative district you live in, you can use this official tool from the Washington State legislature to find out: <a href="https://app.leg.wa.gov/districtfinder">https://app.leg.wa.gov/districtfinder</a>
