Grays Harbor County Commissioners approved a new district map on December 7, 2021, to reflect population changes from the 2020 census. The redistricting process followed state law requiring equal population distribution across three districts.

The new map adjusts boundaries to balance population between the three districts, impacting how residents vote and which commissioner represents them. Commissioners must live in and represent their district, as required by state law.

The change affects how the Port of Grays Harbor and Public Utility District 1 also draw boundaries, as they use the same district lines.
