Grays Harbor County Commissioners approved a new redistricting plan on December 7, 2021, to adjust district boundaries based on population changes from the 2020 census. The plan equalizes population across all three districts, as required by state law. The redistricting process followed RCW 29A. 76. 010 (4), which mandates that county legislative bodies adjust district boundaries after each census. County staff applied population data to the district map and recommended changes to the Commissioners. A committee reviewed the proposed changes, and the Commissioners held a public hearing before approving the plan. The three Commissioners—Georgia Miller (District 1), Rick Hole (District 2), and JR Streifel (District 3)—represent districts based on population. The new boundaries affect the Port of Grays Harbor and Public Utility District 1, which use the same district boundaries.
