You’ll see several familiar names on the August primary ballot.
One is Republican James Watkins, who lost a 2010 congressional race to Democrat Jay Inslee and is now a candidate for state auditor, a position being vacated by Democrat Brian Sonntag.
Another is Republican Clint Didier, who is running against Peter Goldmark for commissioner of public lands. Didier finished behind Democratic U.S. Sen. Patty Murray and Republican Dino Rossi in the 2010 primary.
And former Seattle Mayor Greg Nickels is back, running for the open position of secretary of state three years after his run for a third term as mayor ended in the 2009 primary.
Finally, Mike the Mover is running for the U.S. Senate but as a Republican rather than a Democrat, and Goodspaceguy is running for the House of Representatives in the 7th Congressional District, which now includes Edmonds and Woodway.
