Results roll in for 9 legislative races in Washington's primary election

Tuesday’s primary went well for three appointed Democratic Washington state lawmakers looking to overcome tough challengers to retain their seats.

State Sens. Victoria Hunt and Vandana Slatter, and Rep. Edwin Obras, were all ahead following Tuesday’s vote tally. More votes will be counted in the days ahead, and the top two finishers in each race will move on to the general election.

But Democratic state Sen. Deb Krishnadasan found herself trailing Republican state Rep. Michelle Caldier by 89 votes in what is one of the must-watch legislative battles this year.

Meanwhile, five other appointed Democratic state lawmakers breezed through to the November ballot.
