Evan Smith: Candidates file next week

By Evan Smith
Enterprise politics writer

All the “Who will run for what?” questions will get answered next week, when candidates file for office, at either the County elections office or the secretary of state’s office.

Where a candidate files depends on the geography of a district. Legislative candidates in districts totally within the County file at the King County elections office; those in districts that cross county lines – like the 32nd, which crosses into Snohomish County – file in Olympia.

So far, each position in the 32nd District has one Democrat and one Republican – Democratic State Rep. Maralyn Chase and Republican David Baker for the State Senate seat that Sen. Darlene Fairley is vacating; Democrat Cindy Ryu and Republican Arthur Coday, Jr. for the position that Chase now holds; and Democratic State Rep. Ruth Kagi for re-election against Republican Gary Gagliardi.

Expect more names to show up during the June 7-11 filing period.
