Heading into the weekend the results of Tuesday’s primary election appeared steady and in the same direction as previous days.
Friday’s tally saw Dr. Paul Joos and Mary Alice Heuschel ahead of Jim Grossnickle in that order for a seat on the Public Hospital District No. 1 Board of Commissioners.
Ed Prince gained one percentage point Friday and Robin Jones and Mark Martinez stayed the same in the polls in their race for a seat on the Renton City Council. Martinez conceded the election on Wednesday.
The top two vote-getters in the two primary election races will advance to the general election in November. King County Elections Division will post results at 4:30 weekdays, with final results posted online at noon Aug. 31.
King County Proposition 1, the renewal of the Veterans and Human Services property tax levy, was approved overwhelmingly.
