Political career

Chase was appointed by the legislature after Representative Carolyn Edmonds resigned in November 2001 to serve on the King County Council.[3] She was reelected in 2002, 2004, 2006, and 2008.

In 2010, Chase ran for the Senate seat vacated by Senator Darlene Fairley. She was reelected in 2014, and lost her reelection in 2018 to Jesse Salomon.

An amendment added to Senate Bill 5575 by Maralyn Chase added a Georgia-Pacific paper mill in Camas, WA to the list of pre-1999 biomass facilities that may generate renewable electricity.
