Voters who want to send primary-election ballots by mail need to make sure that they leave them in time to get a Tuesday postmark.

That means leaving the ballots by 5:15pm at the North City Post Office, 6pm at the Bitter Lake Post Office or 3pm at the Richmond Beach postal station.

Voters can leave ballots through 8pm in ballot drop boxes at the Shoreline Library or the Lake Forest Park City Hall.

Not all of the drop box locations are available because elections are only being held here and in Maple Valley.

The only item on local ballots is a Shoreline School District bond measure to pay to rebuild both of the district’s middle schools and one of its elementary schools and to build a new early-learning center.
