The second round of results are in for Tuesday’s (Aug. 3, 2021) Primary Election, and these returns for the Burien City Council race show some new trends:

    • Mark Dorsey – a candidate who was rumored (perhaps twice) to have dropped out of the race, now has more votes than incumbent Jimmy Matta for Position No. 3: 2,321 to 2,276, up 45 over Matta, after trailing by 16 yesterday.
    • Martin Barrett’s lead over Hugo Garcia for Position No. 1 has increased from 631 to 754 votes.
    • Sarah Moore’s lead over Alex Simkus has shrunk to 15 from 62 for Position No. 5.
    • Krystal Marx’s lead over Stephanie Mora has grown from 326 to 339 votes for Position No. 7.

The top two vote getters for each position will move on to the General Election Nov. 3.
