Seattle Mayoral Race: Where Candidates Stand With Endorsements, Money

SEATTLE, WA - It might be hard to believe, but King County will start mailing ballots for the August primary on Wednesday. The incumbent-free Seattle mayoral race - with more than 20 people running - is by far the most watched race in the county (next to the 45th Legislative District state Senate race in north King County). So, it's probably a good time to check in with the candidates and see where they stand with money and endorsements.

Here are fundraising totals and endorsements self-reported by candidates so far (we only included candidates who have either raised money or received an endorsement).
