As of May 17th at 3 pm, it’s pretty sparse.
For Eden Mack’s seat in District 4, only interim director Erin Dury has filed.
For Zachary DeWolf’s seat in District 5, no one has filed. DeWolf declined to run again which was probably wise as he would have lost.
For Betty Patu’s seat in District 7, only interim director Brandon Hersey has filed to run.
Per this story from the South Seattle Emerald, Michelle Sarju announced her candidacy for the District 5 seat but it appears she has not yet filed with King County Elections. She is endorsed by Zachary DeWolf which normally I would consider a bad thing but as I said the last time she filed (and then withdrew), she’s an intriguing candidate who I believe would be her own person.
I feel sure that there will be challengers to Hersey and at least one will probably be Emijah Smith who lost to him during the appointment process for that District 7 seat.
And I hope there are other candidates than Dury for District 4 because 1) I think every race should have two people in it and 2) Dury should have to fight for that seat.
The final day for filing is May 21st. Updates to follow.
