Two Democrats will be facing off Nov. 3 for county executive.
In Tuesday’s primary, incumbent John Lovick received 32.9 percent of the vote with 19,928. Fellow Democrat Dave Somers was second with 31.4 percent of the vote, with 19,032. Three others also ran for the post.
The top two in the primary move on to the general election.
The only two other local districts that had runoffs Aug. 4 were for Lakewood schools and Fire District 21.
Amy Williams was the top vote-getter in Lakewood with 573, or 48.1 percent. The other candidate to advance will be Jahna Smith at 374, with 31.4 percent of the vote. Karl Fitter will not move on with only 210 votes.
Ed Taft leads the vote-getting for fire commissioner with 282, or 38.8 percent. The second spot is too close to call with more ballots still to be counted. Dan Britton leads Jeffrey Edmonds by only five votes, 213 to 208.
The turnout so far is 14.5 percent in Snohomish County, with 60,850 out of 420,529 registered voters participating.
