Who has filed for local boards
Local board elections in Shoreline and surrounding communities feature unopposed candidates across several utility and fire districts. Karl D'Ambrosio is set to run for Commissioner Position No. 2 in the Highlands Utility District, while Rick Webster and Josh Pratt have filed for Commissioner Positions No. 4 and No. 2, respectively, in King County Fire Protection District No.
16. In Shoreline Fire, Kimberly Fischer and Rick Nye are candidates for Commissioner Positions No. 2 and No. 5. Lake Forest Park, which is served by four water districts, includes Eli Zehner and Patty Hale among the candidates for their respective districts.
The Seattle Water District operates under the City of Seattle and lacks a publicly elected board. EvergreenHealth, located in Kirkland, is also holding elections for its Public Hospital District 2, with candidates including Robin Campbell and Suzanne Greathouse. These elections allow residents to influence local governance, particularly in essential public services like fire protection and water supply. The lack of contested races may indicate a shift in community engagement or candidate recruitment.
