A short August ballot in Shoreline, even shorter in LFP

By Evan Smith

Ballots to be mailed July 15 for the Aug. 4 primary election will be short in Shoreline and even shorter in Lake Forest Park.

Shoreline ballots will have the two Shoreline Fire Department propositions and a primary to narrow the field to two for the Nov. 3 general election for a position on the Shoreline City Council, along with two Seattle Port positions and the office of King County election director.
