The Libertarian Party of Washington State describes its principles as follows:[3] We, the members of the Libertarian Party of Washington State, hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men and women are created equal, that they are endowed with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.

Twenty-five state legislative candidates ran under the Libertarian banner, with one receiving above 10% total votes, and with an average result below 4%.

In 2006, the Libertarian Party nominated Bruce Guthrie for US Senate, who mortgaged his home to raise $1.2 million in order to qualify for the Seattle debates.

The Seattle PI stated the Guthrie won the debate 'just by being there', as he had the opportunity to share his platform with a wide audience, a feat not many third party candidates get to achieve.

[9] John Beck failed to survive the new Top Two Primary, while Ruth Bennett went on to receive only 10.5% of the votes in a head-to-head run against incumbent Democrat Eric Pettigrew.

Bennett made a final statement on the inability for third party success under the new election laws, stating that the only way a Libertarian can survive is in otherwise uncontested entrenched districts.

A small group of individuals banded together for the purpose of electing officers at an abbreviated one day session in Olympia.

The most significant changes to the party rules allowed for the annual election of officers and a restructure of the board to include regional directors.

The new officers immediately decentralized the power structure to a series of pre-defined regions in order to aid ongoing campaigns and recruit for county-level political leadership.

The Libertarian Party of Washington sent a full delegation to National Convention and has been widely recognized as one of the most active and successful state affiliates in America.

Following a significantly damaging position by the Secretary of State, Kim Wyman, to include with statewide vote totals for president unsubstantiated write-ins, the Libertarian Party received only 4.98% of the total statewide vote for president, falling shy of the necessary 5.00% to achieve major party status through 2020.

Despite the most successful presidential effort in Washington State for the party, leadership and membership fell into odds resulting in the resignation of the entire executive slate.

Though the party heavily endorsed these initiatives, they offered no specific legislation to the people, citing a lack of funds and infrastructure.

Leaders within the Libertarian Party of Washington State drafted a series of initiatives which they intended[19] to petition onto the 2015 general election ballot.

The proposed initiative would have withdrawn Washington from the compact and replaced the current 'Winner Take All' statewide system with a split electorate representing the State's congressional districts.

Of those contested races three Libertarian candidates succeeded in defeating opponents in the blanket primary and won access onto the general election ballot.
