While there weren’t any local city elected positions on this year’s August ballot, there were primary races for two 5th and two 12th District legislative seats representing the Snoqualmie Valley.
One 12th District race was essentially meaningless, as only one candidate is running, but the race still required to be on the ballot.
Also on the ballot was the primary for the 8th Congressional District U.S. Representative and Si View Metropolitan Park District – Proposition No. 1, the Improvement Bonds for a New Aquatic Center.
