Here’s How to Cast Your Primary Election Ballot in Edmonds

Mail-in ballots must be postmarked Tuesday or dropped off at a drop-off location by 8 p.m.

If you haven’t yet mailed in your primary ballot, you still have time. It’s a packed one, with races for statewide, congressional, legislative, judicial and local offices, as well as some spending measures, depending on where you live.

Washington votes all by mail, and ballots must be postmarked by Tuesday, Aug. 7, in order to be counted. Be sure to use first-class postage.

You can also drop off your ballot without a stamp at one of 11 drop-off locations in Snohomish County. The one in Edmonds is at 650 Main St. near the library.

As of Friday, 55,227 voters, or 13.7 percent of Snohomish County’s 403,074 registered voters, had returned their ballots. (The Secretary of State’s Office expects about 46 percent turnout statewide for this primary.)

Be sure to mail or drop off your ballot by 8 p.m. Tuesday, and click on the links above for information about hours.

That is true about Citypark being in a lot of shade. Where's the skateboard park? Possibly a spotRead More at Edmonds Marina Beach??

Cassy said on Facebook (sorry to those having trouble logging in today!): Would love to have aRead More splash pad and yes please move it so it is in the full sun. If you are going to have a splash pad we need to take advantage of the sunshine.

A splash pad would be great, but that space is so shady - maybe next to the skateboard park instead.Read More

If you want to know what it's like to have your religion disrespected, try having school camps,Read More orchestra and band concerts and back-to-school nights on the holiest of your religious holidays (equivalent to Christmas and Easter). Everyone knows that an egg hunt is an Easter event whether it's called that or not. Everyone know that a holiday tree is really a Christmas tree. Trust me, the atheists and/or non-Christians are not trying to destroy Christianity. First, it would be impossible. Second, it would be too dangerous to us personally. Last, I personally respect other's traditions, but I'm not sure the same can always be said in reverse.

Don't we have more important things to worry about? Easter Egg, Egg Hunt, who cares? It's a funRead More community event. And thank you to the sponsers that make this happen.

First of all, the government is not supposed to promote any religion. Secondly, the Easter bunnyRead More and egg hunt has no historical religious significance that I can think of, even though this is part of an American tradition. I am good with deleting the word Easter, and would like to see a departure from any emphasis on candy, which only compounds the diabetic epidemic in this country. Sometimes it is good to rethink the wisdom of something simply because it is a "tradition".
