Virginia Primary Election 2026: Live Results

  • On Tuesday, State Sen. Rebecca Salda and Seattle Port Commissioner Toshiko Grace Hasegawa led the primary race for the open Metropolitan King County Council seat, securing 51.94% and 38.66% respectively.
  • The County Council District 2 seat was previously held by Girmay Zahilay before his election as county executive last year, covering South Seattle, Skyway, and Tukwila.
  • Miriam Mboya trailed with 8.7% of the vote as both Salda and Hasegawa prioritize housing but diverge on funding—Hasegawa supporting a countywide levy while Salda prefers economic growth-tied options.
  • Councilmember Teresa Mosqueda led her race with 62.78%, likely facing Nick Duda in November; Salda is backed by Councilmembers Sarah Perry and Claudia Balducci plus five Seattle City Council members.
  • The nonpartisan race is dominated by progressives and unlikely to shift the council's balance of power; both Salda and Hasegawa raised nearly a quarter-million dollars for their campaigns.
