Separated by just 65 votes in the primary, Scott Murphy is challenging incumbent Everett Mayor Cassie Franklin in this year’s general election. Poised as potentially one of the closest races in Washington, Murphy nabbed 35.
3% of the vote compared to Franklin’s 34.9% . Janice Greene finished third with 26.8% of the vote . Washington uses a top-two primary system in local elections, meaning the two candidates who received the most votes in the primary advance to the general election in November. Franklin became the first woman to serve as mayor of Everett in 2018, and was reelected in 2022. Before becoming mayor, she served on the Everett City Council. Franklin was also the CEO of Cocoon House, a local nonprofit organization dedicated to housing. Murphy has also served on the city council. His tenure lasted nearly a decade, from 2013 to 2021. Part of his time on the council had him as the chair of the budget committee.Harrell v.

We made those investments, yet the store didn’t, you know, continue to invest in their facility.” Over the summer, Kroger announced the closure of six of its locations across the region. A Tacoma Fred Meyer has already closed, and the five other grocery stores in King, Pierce, and Snohomish counties are scheduled to close this fall, creating a “food desert” for groceries in Everett. Murphy has been campaigning on improving public safety in Everett to prevent business closures, such as the Fred Meyer. This includes filling vacant City of Everett police positions and making business retention a core part of Everett’s economic development strategy. “Everett deserves better—we need a city government that protects residents, supports workers, and creates an environment where businesses can thrive.”Separated by just 65 votes in the primary, Scott Murphy is challenging incumbent Everett Mayor Cassie Franklin in this year's general election.Tacoma residents will be tasked with appointing a new mayor for the city in this year's general election, deciding between City Councilmembers John Hines and Anders Ibsen.Seattle City Attorney Ann Davison is vying to be re-elected in this year's general election in Washington, taking on former federal prosecutor Erika Evans.Two legislative districts in Washington, 5 and 26, are on the ballot for this year's general election in Washington, and both races are interesting as the finish line nears.Community organizer Katie Wilson faces off against Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell to become the city's next leader in this year's general election Nov. 4.Across Washington, government agencies and nonprofits are scrambling to help 930,000 state residents who will lose their Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, food benefits starting Nov. 1 due to the ongoing federal shutdown.
