Grays Harbor County Redistricts After 2020 Census

🔊 Listen · narrated by Aiden

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

The county staff applied 2020 census data to the district map and recommended changes to the Commissioners. After a public hearing and review, the Commissioners approved the plan at their December 7, 2021, meeting. The new boundaries affect all county districts, including those for the Port of Grays Harbor and Public Utility District 1, which share the same boundaries.

The updated district map is available online through the county's Commissioner Records search tools. The next redistricting cycle will occur after the 2030 census.
