The 2024 Washington Supreme Court election was held on November 5, 2024, to elect three members of the Washington Supreme Court, concurrently with the 2024 U.S. presidential election, as well as elections to the U.S. Senate and various state and local elections, including for U.S. House and governor of Washington. Incumbent Supreme Court justices Steven González and Sheryl Gordon McCloud were each re-elected unopposed. Justice Susan Owens reached mandatory retirement and was succeeded by Sal Mungia.

Position 2

Associate Justice Susan Owens reached the mandatory retirement age of 75 in 2024 and was therefore ineligible to seek re-election. Attorney Sal Mungia received the endorsements of many elected Democrats as well as the state Democratic Party while Federal Way Municipal Court Judge Dave Larson was endorsed by the state Republican Party and spoke at Republican events.

Primary election Washington is one of two states that holds a top-two primary, meaning all candidates are listed on the same ballot regardless of party affiliation, and the top two advance to the general election.
