Washington's Legislature: Democrats could pick up 4 GOP seats in Senate
OLYMPIA — Republicans at the Washington Legislature may be in deep trouble.
In Tuesday night’s initial primary results, Democrats appear to have a shot at picking up four Republican-held state Senate seats.
At least 11 Republican House incumbents trailed their Democratic challengers.
At least another three Republican House candidates in open seats that the GOP is defending were also trailing Democrats.
As more votes are counted in the coming days, those results could swing, but the initial ballots show Democrats leading not just in the usual handful of Puget Sound-area swing districts.
