There wasn’t much change in the Lynnwood City Council or Edmonds School Board races after the second day of results were released by the Snohomish County Elections Office Wednesday, Aug. 7

Former City Councilmembers Jim Smith (with 35% of the ballots cast so far) and Van AuBuchon (with 19%) were still leading a field of six candidates vying for the open Position 4 seat on the council, according to updated election results. The top two vote getters in all primary races will advance to the general election in November. The primary election will be certified by the county on Aug. 20.

In the open Position 5 seat, Julieta Altamirano-Crosby still leads the field at 42%. Podiatrist David Schirle remains in second place with 35% of ballots cast so far. Rosamaria Graziani remains in third place at 23%.

In the Position 7 council race, incumbent Shannon Sessions leads the primary race with 47% of the vote so far. Challenger Shirley Sutton, who currently holds Position 4 but chose instead to run for Sessions’ seat, has 33%.

The primary election will be certified by the county Aug. 20.

Updated primary results released Thursday for Edmonds School Board of Directors Position 3 and 5 candidates saw Position 3 incumbent Gary Noble still in the lead with 46% of ballots cast so far. Challenger Rory Graves increased her vote count to 22%, while Jennifer Cail was at 20% for the second spot on the Position 3 ballot.

In Position 5 — an open seat because current School Board member Diana White is not seeking re-election — Nancy Katims still leads the field of five candidates with 54% of the vote, and opponent Lisa Hunnewell is maintaining her second-place finish with 21%.
