Lake Forest Park's recent redistricting places it in Washington's 1st Legislative District, effective after the November elections. This district encompasses cities such as Kenmore, Bothell, and Kirkland, spanning both King and Snohomish counties. In the upcoming elections, current representatives Davina Duerr and Shelley Kloba are seeking re-election, while Senator Derek Stanford will not be on the ballot this year. To facilitate voter awareness, the League of Women Voters of Snohomish County is hosting a virtual candidate forum on July 8, where residents can engage with candidates running for the U. S.

Senate, Congressional District 7, and other offices. Primary ballots are expected to arrive in mailboxes by July 15, with a deadline for returns set for August 2. Voters can submit their completed ballots via mail or in designated drop boxes, including one at Lake Forest Park City Hall. This forum serves as an essential opportunity for constituents to familiarize themselves with their electoral choices. The redistricting and the upcoming forum highlight the importance of civic engagement in local governance.
