Breaking down Washington's 2024 primary election

Soundside

Yesterday, thousands of Washingtonians dug through the pile of mail sitting on their hallway table. They found their primary ballot - maybe even their voter pamphlet - and took time to vote.

Congratulations to all who did. Wear that new “I voted” sticker with pride.

Because there were a lot of important things to consider in this year’s primary election: come January we’ll have a new Governor, a new Attorney General, and a new Commissioner of Public Lands, to name just a few of the big jobs up for grabs.

Today, we’re going to figure out: what we know so far about how yesterday’s primary went, and what we're still waiting to learn.

Guests:

• Former Washington State Attorney General Rob McKenna
• Democratic political consultant Cathy Allen
