After nearly three years as mayor of Seattle, Langlie at the age of forty was the state's youngest governor until 1964, when [[Moderate Republican]] [[Daniel J. Evans]] was elected to the first of three terms as governor. Langlie was defeated for re-election in 1944 by Democrat Monrad C. Wallgren but won the office back by defeating Wallgren in 1948 even though [[Harry Truman]] defeated [[Thomas E. Dewey]] in Washington State. Langlie is thus far the only Washington governor to regain that office after losing it.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304130434/http://digitalwa.statelib.wa.gov:2012/cdm4/item_viewer.php?CISOROOT=%2Fgovernors&CISOPTR=22&CISOBOX=1&REC=1|title=Arthur Bernard Langlie|publisher=Washington Rural Heritage|accessdate=September 1, 2015}}.</ref>
