With one day left in the filing period, neither of Shoreline’s District Court judges has an opponent.

Both longtime Shoreline District Court Judge Doug Smith and recently appointed Judge Marcine Anderson were the only candidates who had filed for their respective positions as of the close of business Thursday.

In-person filing closes at 4 p.m. Friday, Online filing closes at 4:30 pm.

Both positions will appear on the August primary ballot. The rules of Washington judicial elections require that the positions appear on the primary ballot, with a candidate who gets a majority of the primary vote appearing unopposed on the general election ballot.
