The final receipts aren't in yet, but two 2022 state Senate matchups are already among Washington's costliest state legislative races ever. Driving the news: The Senate race in Washington's 26th Legislative District — which includes Gig Harbor, Port Orchard and part of Bremerton — has attracted more than $4.4 million in spending from the candidates' campaigns and outside groups. Meanwhile, a contest in the 42nd legislative district in Whatcom County has drawn more than $1.8 million in outside spending, on top of about $1.
