Very nice. We've lived in Spokane the last four years but are in the process of moving to the Seattle area again

I hope to move back to the west side in about nine months or so, but I'm glad to have lived over here. I've come to respect and appreciate both sides of the state in different ways.

RRH's primary preview. Any thoughts on the Leg races this year?

RRH's primary preview. Any thoughts on the Leg races this year?

Naturally, only "local" people may present more detailed information. AFAIK - legislature will be split almost equally (as it is now), with Democrats gradually squeezing remainning Republicans in Seattle suburbs, and Republicans gaining some formerly traditionally Democratic rural areas (on Peninsula, and some other). Very interested in ideological characteristics of candidates: even without Sheldon not every Democrat in Washington is "far left", and not every Republican - "far right"..

[Attorney General, LGC Speaker, and Former PPT Dwarven Dragon]

Really hoping Jayapal doesn't make the general. The country needs to show Bernie loud and clear that Socialism is not the answer.

[RI]

First results in from Lewis County. Vance leading all GOPers for Senate. Bryant up big. Wide open race for SPI. Hobbs leading Dems for LtGov. Treasurer currently R vs. R.

[RI]

A big dump now, mostly from the southern part of the state. Close race between Hobbs and Fraser for second in LtGov. Treasurer still RvR.

[RI]

Most of the west side now reporting. Habib pulls ahead of Hobbs and Fraser. Still R vs. R for Treasurer. Erin Jones pulls ahead for SPI.

[RI]

WA-04 currently R vs. R: Newhouse vs Didier rematch
WA-07: Jayapal in first, McDermott just ahead of Walkinshaw for second

[Maxwell]

Big vote dump from King county area and others - now Inslee is up big.

As would be expected; if Inslee weren't ahead, he'd be in big trouble.

That said, he is below 50% and cratering in the Yakima area.

[evergreenarbor]

R v. R in WA-04 doesn't surprise me at all.

Glad to see Habib and Jayapal winning. And it looks like Wyman might end up coming second in the primary. Should she be worried about that?

[RI]

Wyman's running about even with 2012 when she barely won, though she seems to be doing slightly better in Pierce County/SW Washington.

Thanks to our state's wonderful top 2 primary the Treasurer race (at least according to SOS website) is R v R at the current moment.  3 Democrats splitting the vote and 2 Republicans splitting the vote.

Dang it WA.  I was so looking forward to finally achieving the WA, OR, CA no Republican elected to statewide office.

Cathy McMorris Rodgers is actually doing a lot worse than I was expecting.

Wyman would probably win in November anyway, though.
