Two Board Races with Three Candidates Each; Patu Unopposed

by Melissa Westbrook

It looks like - at 5 pm - that there will be three candidates for the Central region race and three for the Ballard/Magnolia/QA/downtown race.  No one filed against Director Patu and so she will retain her seat.

For the Central Region:
Stephan Blanford
Olu Thomas
LaCrese Green

For Magnolia/QA/downtown/Ballard Region:
Dean McColgan
Sue Peters
Suzanne Dale Estey

This means a real race in the primary so it is important to keep up on these candidates.  I will try to interview them all as time permits.

Link to King County Elections with their filing info that includes e-mail, phone and website (if they have one already).   Scroll to the middle of the page under School.
