FINAL ELECTION RESULTS: Burien Councilmember Alex Andrade finishes third in 33rd District primary

Mia Su-Ling Gregerson led the certified results in the Aug. 4, 2026, primary election for Legislative District 33, Position No. 2, while Burien City Councilmember Alex Andrade finished third and did not place in the top two.

Gregerson, who prefers the Democratic Party, received 13,795 votes, or 53.30%, according to the certified election results. Yuri Marinchik, who prefers the Republican Party, finished second with 6,317 votes, or 24.41%.

Andrade, who also prefers the Democratic Party, received 5,717 votes, or 22.09%, according to the Aug. 18 certified results. She lost to Marinchik by 600 votes.

No Recount

According to King County Elections, there are two ways to conduct a recount:

• Machine recounts are required when the vote total difference between two candidates is less than 2,000 votes and also less than 0.5% of the total number of votes cast for both candidates.
• Hand recounts are required when the vote total difference between two candidates is less than 150 votes and also less than 0.25% of the total number of votes cast for both candidates.

For required recounts, the jurisdiction pays the costs. For requested recounts, the individual or group making the request pays the costs. If the result of the election is reversed, the county pays the costs.

Since the margin between Marinchik and Andrade is 600 votes and 2.32%, it does not qualify.

Gregerson will face Marinchik in the General Election on Tuesday, Nov. 3, 2026.

The results are locally significant for Burien voters because Andrade continued her role in Position 6 on the Burien City Council while seeking the 33rd District House seat. Her term started Jan. 1, 2024, and ends Dec. 31, 2027, according to her City of Burien councilmember page.

We reached out to Andrade for comment or a concession statement, but she did not respond.

Legislative District 33 includes parts of east Burien, SeaTac, Des Moines, Kent, Normandy Park, Tukwila and Renton.

Burien had 34.04% turnout for the Aug. 4 primary. Statewide, voter turnout was 37%.
