Volunteers from the Municipal League's Candidate Evaluation Committee have rated 113 candidates for city council, mayoral, county, school board, Port, and judicial positions across King County. The evaluation process, including interviews with the candidates, began in June in advance of the upcoming Primary Election.
Ratings are based on four criteria: Involvement, Effectiveness, Character and Knowledge. The ratings provide the only independent non-partisan, non-agenda driven evaluation of candidates. This year marks the 99th round of Municipal League ratings, conducted annually since 1911.
