Lulu Haddon (Democrat) represented the 23rd Legislative District of Kitsap County in the House of Representatives during the 1933 and 1935 sessions. She was elected to the Senate in 1936, and served there until her resignation in 1942. Her daughter, Frances Haddon Morgan, wrote a special chapter in Washington's history when, sixteen years later, she won the same seat first in the House of Representatives in 1958, and then in the Senate in 1960.

Born in Iowa, her family moved to Spangle, Washington when she was a small child. Haddon received less than an eigth grade education, most of which came from her Quaker mother reading to the ten Haddon children by the glow of an oil lamp. As a homemaker in Bremerton, Haddon was a community activist and exponent of public education. She was a founder of that city's Soroptimist Club, which advocated many community reforms and became a springboard for her political career.

Representative Haddon was devoted to providing better education to children. In both the House and Senate she was chairwoman of the Education Committee and created many new educational opportunities for Washington students. Her legislative accomplishments include facilitating the construction of a new bridge for Bremerton, the creation of more elementary schools in the state, the establishment of the Rainier State School for the mentally handicapped. and the passage of enabling legislation for Bremerton's first junior college.
