State of Washington

[edit]

Washington was admitted to the Union on November 11, 1889. The term for governor is four years,[2]commencing on the second Monday in the January following the election.[64]If the office of governor is vacant or the governor is unable to discharge their duties, the lieutenant governor assumes the duties of governor, though still officially retains the office of lieutenant governor.[65]If both the offices of governor and lieutenant governor are unable to fulfill their duties, the secretary of state is next in line, and then the treasurer.[66]There is no limit to the number of terms a governor may serve.[67]The office oflieutenant governoris not elected on the sameticketas the governor.
