1900 United States presidential election in Washington (state)

In the 1900 United States presidential election, Washington state voters cast their ballots for Republican candidate William McKinley over Democratic candidate William Jennings Bryan. McKinley won Washington decisively, carrying the state with approximately 58.2% of the vote compared to Bryan's 37.7%. Other candidates, including those representing the Populist and Prohibition parties, received a small percentage of the remaining votes.

This election reflected a broader national trend, with McKinley ultimately winning the presidency for a second term. The key issues driving the election included economic prosperity, particularly McKinley's focus on the gold standard and industrial growth. Bryan, a champion of silver coinage and agrarian interests, struggled to gain traction in the more industrialized states like Washington. The result in Washington solidified the state's leaning towards the Republican Party during this period. The specific voter turnout and precise vote counts are available from historical election records.
