Webster, Matthews headed for November election for new position on Ronald Wastewater District Board

Engineer George Webster and appointed incumbent Richard Matthews appear to be headed for a November runoff for one of the two new positions on the Ronald Wastewater District Board created when the Board expanded from three members to five after the 2011 election.

Webster, with 39.3 percent of the primary vote as of the Wednesday afternoon vote count, and Matthews, with 37.12 percent, led Shoreline School public information officer Craig Degginger, who had 22.94 percent.

The King County elections office plans to release more results Thursday afternoon.

The winner of the November election will serve a six-year term beginning at the end of the year and the last month of the term that Matthews holds by appointment.

The other new position will be on the ballot in 2015.
