Patricia D. "Pat" Scott (died January 7, 2001) was an American politician who served as a member of the Washington House of Representatives from 1984 to 2001.
First appointed to office upon the resignation of John Martinis, she represented Washington's 28th legislative district as a Democrat for 17 years until her death in 2001.
[1][2] Her death, along with the surprise resignation of Republican Renee Radcliff, set up two special elections for seats in Snohomish County.
Democrats won both seats, breaking a tie in the chamber and resulting in a 50-48 Democratic majority that elected Frank Chopp as sole Speaker of the House.
