On Aug 1, Vashon voters will have their first say in who will succeed longtime King County Council member Joe McDermott to represent District 8 — a swath of the county ranging through the disparate communities of Vashon, Burien, White Center, and West Seattle, and from the International District to First Hill in Seattle. McDermott, who has held the council seat since 2010, announced in January he would not seek re-election. Contenders in the primary race are Burien Mayor Sofia Aragon, Seattle City Council Member Teresa Mosqueda, and perennial fringe candidate Goodspaceguy.
