The Cascade Party of Washington is a minor political party in the United States located in the state of Washington. Former Nirvana bassist Krist Novoselic founded the centrist party in 2024. The party hoped to gather 1,000 signatures in order to qualify as a political party in Washington, however it hopes to not appear on the ballot in the 2024 presidential election. In order to garner support, it collected signatures during Novoselic's concerts. It qualified as a minor political party in Washington on August 24, 2024, and its request to be omitted from the 2024 presidential election ballot in the state was granted the same day.
The party's inaugural convention, open to members of their private social media platform, was held on 11 January at the Hotel Sorrento in Seattle.
