The 1900 Washington gubernatorial election was held on November 6, 1900.
Incumbent Governor John Rankin Rogers won re-election as the Democratic nominee. He defeated Republican nominee John M. Frink with 48.86% of the vote.
In 1896, Rogers was the fusion candidate of the Democratic, Populist and Silver Republican parties. In 1900, he was nominated by a unity convention which merged the three parties in the state and took the name of the Democratic Party.[1]

Notes
- The Secretary of State's data dashboard gives this figure as 31, but this causes Dunlap's county figures to not add up to the stated total. The digitized version of the 1900 abstract of votes is of below average quality and some numbers are cut off. For scans of older printed documents, it is very easy to mistake 4s for 1s if the scan is of low quality. The actual figure being 34 is backed up by newspaper reports from late November 1900.
