The 2016 Washington lieutenant gubernatorial election was held on November 8, 2016. The top-two primary was held on August 2. Washington is one of two states that holds a top-two primary, meaning that all candidates are listed on the same ballot regardless of party affiliation, and the top two move on to the general election.
Incumbent Democratic lieutenant governor Brad Owen, first elected to the office in 1996, announced that he would not seek a sixth term. Democratic state senator Cyrus Habib defeated Republican radio host Marty McClendon to succeed Owen.
