No primary was held for this contest

A nonpartisan office with two or fewer filed candidates skips the primary and goes straight to the general election (RCW 29A.36.171). There is no primary result because there was no primary vote.

Filed: Dan York
Why no primary: RCW 29A.36.171 — the primary is not held for a nonpartisan office when two or fewer candidates file, so the certified primary files carry no row for this contest.

Money spent about these candidates by others

Independent expenditures and electioneering communications — spending about a candidate by a committee that is barred by law from coordinating with them. Spending for a candidate is not money from the candidate. For and against are two facts and are shown as two figures, never one.

No independent expenditure or electioneering communication in the PDC feed names a candidate in this contest. That is what the feed holds as of the date below, joined on the key in the source line. It is not a finding that none was made: C-6 reports are filed within days of the spending, and the feed is refreshed on a schedule.

How to run for this office

This is an office, not a possession. It is filled by whoever files for it and wins, and the requirements are the same for everyone. This section is on every race page, whoever is in the race.

Term, next regular election and filing window for this office
Seat	Term	Next regular election	Filing opens
Superior Court — Judge Position 32	4 years · Wash. Const. art. IV, § 5	2030	May 2030 · one week; there is no late filing

What filing requires. A declaration of candidacy, filed online or with the county auditor during one week in May (RCW 29A.24.050); a fee of one percent of the office’s annual salary, or a petition of signatures instead (RCW 29A.24.091); and being a registered voter living in the district on the day you file (RCW 29A.24.075). No signatures, no party, no prior office.

Reporting follows money, not candidacy. Registering with the Public Disclosure Commission and filing contribution reports is triggered by raising and spending, not by putting your name in. A campaign that stays under the mini-reporting threshold files a short form and nothing more.

We cannot yet tell you what filing costs. The fee is one percent of the office’s annual salary, which makes it a specific dollar amount rather than a rule — and a page that makes you compute your own filing fee has not told you the filing fee. Salaries are not in the record we hold, so the figure is missing rather than estimated. For a seat that pays nothing, the fee is nothing.

What this page will not compute

A race page is where a forecast is expected, which makes it the page where computing one is most tempting. Each of these would make the page more useful and less true.

No projection.: The primary share is a fact about August. Carrying it to November is a model whose error is nowhere in the record. The certified result is printed; the forecast is not.
No “competitive” label.: Close or safe is a prediction wearing an adjective. The margin is on the page; the word is the reader’s.
No per-candidate ranking.: Candidates appear in the certified order of the primary. No score, no grade, no frontrunner.
No net money.: Spending for and spending against are two facts. Subtracting one from the other manufactures a third that nobody reported.
No connected-records section.: A contest is not a node in the entity graph — it has no record of its own and draws no edges. Each candidate’s own page carries theirs.
No location.: We do not detect where you are and never will. The contest names its county; the reader knows their own.
No race calls.: After the election this page carries returns as the counties release them, with the count’s own timestamp. The only “decided” state is the certifying authority’s.

Where this page comes from

Every figure above is read from a primary source and rebuilt on a schedule. Nothing here is modelled or inferred; where a source is silent the page says so rather than filling the gap.

The contest: reconstructed from PDC candidate filings for a nonpartisan office with two or fewer filers, which holds no primary (RCW 29A.36.171). The certified primary files carry no row for it.
Who advanced: the two named candidates with the most certified votes, whatever their party preference. One named candidate means the seat is unopposed. Write-in lines are not candidates.
Identity: a candidate is linked to an official page only when exactly one official matches their name; two officials sharing a first and last name identify neither, and the name stays text. A candidate page is linked by PDC filer id.
Money: PDC C-3 contributions to candidate committees this cycle, joined on ballot name + office family + district number. A name matching two filers is refused.
Outside money: PDC C-6 independent expenditures and electioneering communications naming the candidate, split by the stance the spender filed. For and against are never netted.
Next election: this cycle’s general election plus the statutory term (Wash. Const. art. IV, § 5).
Returns: on election night the counties’ released returns appear above with the snapshot’s own timestamp. We publish returns; we do not call races.
