Shoreline voter turnout runs behind County average
Sunday, August 11, 2013
Shoreline voters have turned out for the Tuesday, Aug. 6, primary election at a lower rate than voters throughout King County.
As of Saturday evening, Shoreline voters had returned 26.83 percent of their ballots, compared to the countywide rate of 29.12 percent. In addition to the County parks levy and primaries for county executive and a position on the Seattle Port Commission, Shoreline ballots included two positions on the Ronald Wastewater District Board and the County Council position representing District 1, which includes Shoreline, Lake Forest Park, Kenmore and other parts of North King County.
Council District 1 had a ballot-return rate of 30.68 percent, enhanced by primary contests for the Kenmore City Council and the Northshore School Board.

The County includes the City of Seattle, which had a hotly contested Mayoral primary. Do you honestly belive that a wastewater (read: sewer district) ranks as high as that? Nope.
Only in Shoreline does a sewer district wind up being hotly contested, but that is because politics in Shoreline are widely regarded as being in the gutter.
