The AP reports two people are filing challenges to the election of Christine Gregoire.
The lawsuits were filed by two private citizens, according to the AP, with no obvious connections to the Rossi campaign.
I did some quick googling and checked the state Public Disclosure Commission site, and came up empty as well.

AP Exclusive: Two court challenges filed in governor's race
The Associated Press obtained copies of the election challenges from the Supreme Court on Thursday. Both seem to be the work of private citizens and neither bear obvious fingerprints of the state Republican Party. State GOP Chairman Chris Vance said he had nothing to do with the filings, and that party officials are still working on a possible court challenge of their own.
Daniel P. Stevens of Fall City sent the court a one-page notice saying he was contesting the election because the margin of victory is within the election's margin of error, "to the point that error must be assumed as a certainty."
Arthur Coday Jr. of Shoreline filed an 11-page brief arguing that the hand recount was fatally flawed for several reasons and asking the high court to inaugurate Rossi as governor.
