Several Seattle incumbents trail in early primary results
Progressive organizer Katie Wilson led incumbent Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell in early results from Tuesday's primary election.
The big picture: While many ballots remain to be counted, Wilson's early primary lead signals that Harrell is in for a tough battle to keep his seat in November.
By the numbers: After the first round of vote counting, Wilson — the general secretary of the Transit Riders Union — was capturing about 46.2% of the primary vote to Harrell's 44.9%.
Both candidates looked as if they would easily advance to the November general election, edging out half a dozen other contenders.
