There are drop boxes by Lake Forest Park City Hall in Town Center and the Shoreline Library at 5th NE and NE 175th. The last pick up from drop boxes will be 8pm on Tuesday.

If you prefer, you can mail your ballot but it must be postmarked by August 2nd. Check the post office box for the last pick up of the day to make sure you have a postmark inside the deadline. Don't forget to put postage on the envelope.

Some races will be decided in this election. Most will winnow the field to two candidates, who will go on to the November ballot.
