Incumbent James McIntire announced on December 16, 2015, that he would not seek a third term as Washington State Treasurer.[24] Five candidates are running to succeed him: state senator Marko Liias, former Port of Seattle commissioner Alec Fisken, pension consultant John Paul Comerford, Benton County treasurer Duane Davidson, and investment firm executive Michael Waite.[25] Liias, Fisken, and Comerford are running as Democrats; Davidson and Waite, as Republicans.[25]

In the general election, Duane Davidson received the endorsements of every county treasurer in Washington state, both Democrat and Republican, as well as Washington Secretary of State Kim Wyman. Michael Waite was endorsed by former Democratic state Auditor Brian Sonntag and former state Attorney General Rob McKenna.[27]
