local races set

Electorally speaking, we're ready for the August 21 primary. From this morning's paper:

The key races in the primary will be in Olympia, where three candidates are vying for mayor, four for one council spot and three for another council spot. Olympia schools and the port also have three candidates vying to advance to the Nov. 6 general election.

In the various school board races, Carolyn Barclift will face challengers Tom Hill and Lucy Meltzer; Frank Wilson and Jeff Nejedly will square off in the general election; Rich Nafziger is running unopposed.
