Somthing to think about: The Primary Election for King County Executive is coming up.

The seven (7) Candidates for King County Executive must hurdle over two voter elections to win the race.

• A PRIMARY ELECTION WILL BE HELD ON TUESDAY, AUGUST 18 where the field will be narrowed to only two (2) candidates. This is a nonpartisan election.

• The two top vote getters from the primary election will appear on the ballot for the General Election in November.

I could not find a description in the county website on how the election process works and emailed the county yesterday for an answer.

The following King County Executive candidates (7) must be narrowed down to two candidates(2) in the August 18 primary election:

• Larry Phillips Fred Jarrett Stan Lippmann Alan Lobdell Susan Hutchison Dow Constantine Ross Hunter Goodspaceguy

I think Eastsiders will have a vote on two (2) Port of Seattle seats:

• Port of Seattle Commissioner Position No. 3
  Rob Holland David Doud Al Yuen
  Port of Seattle Commissioner Position No. 4
  Juan Paraiso Max Vekich Tom Albro

I want to thank Ross Hunter http://www.rosshunter.com/ and Larry Phillips http://larryphillips.com/welcome/ for submitting their background information for my readers.

All candidates are invited to send their background information for posting on the Redmond Neighborhood Blog to: redmondblog@gmail.com
