Andrew Garber The Seattle Times This is shaping up to be one of the most competitive elections in years with high turnover in statewide offices, the congressional del- egation and the Legislature. Nearly two dozen candidates have filed for open seats in the gov- ernor, secretary of state, attorney general and state auditor offices. About 20 more are running for the two open seats in the 1st and 6th U.S. House districts and the new 10th District, which was cre- ated by redistricting. And there’s a bumper crop of new candidates running for the state Legislature, with two-dozen incumbents leaving the state House and Senate. “This is unprecedented, as far as I know,” Secretary of State Sam Reed said of all the open seats and the abundance of candidates. It bodes well for high turnout this election, said Reed, who is re- tiring and has six people running for his seat. “Of all years, it’s time for citizens to get involved. If they can’t get excited about a candidate or an issue this year, there’s something wrong with them.” • Main 11 NORTHWEST The Chronicle, Centralia/Chehalis, Wash., Tuesday, May 22, 2012 Rescuers Praised After Pulling Boy from Waterfall SAVED: Burien Boy and the ledge he balanced on was so narrow that when he crouched Was Just Feet Away down, his toes were in the water.
