Filing period ends with few local offices requiring primary ballot

By Evan Smith

Filing for local offices ended Friday with few local offices having enough candidates to require a place on the Aug. 1 primary election ballot.

The only races on the primary ballot are those with three or more candidates. The top two vote getters in each primary contest advance to the Nov. 7 general-election ballot.

All local positions are non-partisan.

Non-partisan positions with only one or two candidates appear only on the November ballot.

One position that will appear on the primary ballot is a Shoreline City Council position with three candidates for the seat held by incumbent Shari Winstead, who has withdrawn from the race.

The other local positions with primary contests will be three-way races to replace retiring Shoreline School Board member Debi Ehrlichman and Northshore Fire Commissioner Eric Adman. The Northshore Fire District includes Lake Forest Park and Kenmore​.
