King County Elections today (Aug. 16) certified the results of the Aug. 2 primary. The top two winners, regardless of party affiliation, advance to the Nov. 8 General Election.

The 8th Congressional District and the 5th, 41st and 45th Legislative District include Sammamish.

Sammamish Comment isn’t covering state-wide races. These results may be found here.

In the Sammamish area, two State Senate races are too close to project a winner for the November General Election: those in the 5th and 41st.

Sammamish Deputy Mayor Ramiro Valderrama, running as a Republican for Position 1 in the 45th LD House, received only 38% of the primary vote. He advances to November.
