Every 10 years, after the Census, all Districts go through what’s called “redistricting”—making new jurisdictions—due to both populations growing or shrinking and the ways in which that informs the count of elected officials.
You can find more information at the Washington State Redistricting Commission website.
Redistricting runs the risk of gerrymandering, or manufacturing election outcomes to favor a political Party by using drawn lines to inaccurately represent the communities within them. The lines, in this gerrymandering case, will either “crack” or “pack” votes in or across districts.
“Cracking” splits similar groups (like those with the same Party affiliations as voters) across multiple districts, dividing their strengths so that they struggle to elect their preferred candidates in any of the districts. “Packing,” by contrast, crams groups of voters into as few districts as possible so that the “packed” groups likely elect their preferred candidates but the group’s voting strength is weakened everywhere else.
