Candidates are set for August primary

The stage is set for Aug. 5 primary as the filing period to run for election this year is set in Edmonds and south Snohomish County.

Two City Council seats are already set. Glena Krull and incumbent Chris Eck will move on to the general election Nov. 4 for Position 1, as the top two finishers automatically advance. Also moving on are challenger Jessica Bachmann and incumbent Will Chen for Position 2.

There is some competition for Council President Neil Tibbott’s Position 3, as he has decided not to run for reeclection. Erika Barnett, Joseph Ademofe, and Alex Newman will learn who the top two finishers are after the primary.
