Primary election: Three candidates seeking open seat on Whatcom County Council
Three candidates are running for the open Whatcom County Council District 2 seat, which covers northern Bellingham, including Columbia, Silver Beach and other neighborhoods. District 2 is one of five County Council districts. Its current council representative,
Todd Donovan, is not running for a third consecutive term. There are also two at-large members on the seven-member council.
The County Council makes laws, appoints members of advisory committees and controls the purse through its budget authority. All County Council races are nonpartisan. Only registered voters in District 2 can vote in this race.
Under Washington’s primary rules, the two candidates with the most votes will advance to the Nov. 4 general election.
