By Evan Smith

Incumbent Shoreline City Councilman Jesse Salomon continues to hold a big primary lead over challenger Lorn Richey.

Salomon and Richey apparently are headed for a runoff in November.

Salomon holds 64 percent of the votes from the Aug. 4 primary counted through Wednesday afternoon to 26 percent for Richey and 9 percent for Michael Bachety.

King County elections officials had counted ballots from 28.05 percent of Shoreline city voters, compared to 24.41 percent countywide.

The county vote count represents 99.96 percent of ballots on hand and 81.30 percent of the predicted voter turnout.
