Filing Week

Today is the start of filing week for office. Those having filed for state office are listed and will be updated as they come in here, and for local office check your county auditor website. King County's candidate filings can be found here.

There haven't been many surprises thus far, a few frequent candidates have filed for the Senate race and Jim McDermott has a primary challenger (Donovan Rivers), who, to the best I can tell, is a conservative African-American Democrat. The GOP has had a few legislative candidates file in safe Democrat seats, as well.
