For those looking to toss their hat into the political ring, time is running short.
In both King and Pierce counties, like everywhere else, the official filing period for the fall election season concludes with the close of business Friday. Filing opened Monday morning.
This year’s campaign cycle includes an Aug. 4 primary and a Nov. 3 general election.
Voters on both sides of the county line will help choose members of various city councils, school boards and fire commissions, along with lesser-publicized races in small sewer and water districts.
Here’s a look at the positions to be filled during fall elections, with the filing fee and incumbents’ names in parentheses.
