Four days after the primary election, the spread of votes between third place Minal Ghassemieh and second place Karen Howe continues to widen. This is an unbroken trend since election night Tuesday.

Howe now leads Ghassemieh by 282 votes, up from 256 yesterday. Karen Moran, in first place, also widened her lead over Howe, to 392 votes from 359 yesterday.

Sammamish Comment now declares this race beyond doubt, firming up its election night projection that Howe and Moran would likely be the winners.
