Washington's 8^th Congressional District is located just east of the city of Seattle, including most of eastern King County (known as the Eastside), and much of rural Pierce County. The district is bordered on to the west by Lake Washington, including Mercer Island, and on the east by the Cascade Mountains. To the north, the district is bordered by the City of Kirkland, and including areas of Redmond and Woodinville, before heading east through rural King County. To the south, the district includes much of Mount Rainier National Park and runs west to include portions of the City of Puyallup. Some of the cities in the Eighth District include: Bellevue, Maple Valley, Sammamish, Issaquah, North Bend, Enumclaw, Duvall, Eatonville, Newcastle, Bonney Lake, Buckley, South Prairie, Black Diamond, Medina, Yarrow Point, Hunts Point.

The Eastside and the areas to the south have become a center of growth for the Pacific Northwest. High-tech companies such as Microsoft and Nintendo of America, as well as companies such as Boeing and PACCAR, are just a sample of the businesses that have kept the area growing and economically strong, providing a environment for future economic growth.

Lake Washington and the Cascade Mountains, which form the eastern and western borders of the district, offer year-round opportunities for enjoying the outdoors, whether your preference is skiing in the winter, sailing in the summer, or hiking and cycling in the spring and fall.
