Burien, WALocal News

Eight candidates are competing for four positions on the Highline School District Board of Directors in the 2025 election, with the primary election scheduled for August 5. The top two vote-getters from each district will advance to the general election on November 4. Incumbents include Angelica M. Alvarez, Joe Van, and Damarys Espinoza, who bring various experiences to their candidacies. Challengers include Sue-Ann Hohimer, a former Normandy Park mayor, and Katie Kresly, who serves on the Capital Facilities Advisory Committee.

Kresly's dual role as a candidate and contributor to a local opinion website raises potential conflict of interest concerns. The B-Town Blog intends to reach out to each candidate for insights on their top priorities and plans to address pressing issues in Highline Public Schools. This election is crucial for shaping the future of the district and fostering community engagement. Residents can find more information about the candidates on the King County Elections website.
