Early results from the Aug. 6 King County primary election are in, and it appears incumbent Mayor Mike McGinn will battle Ed Murray for the top Seattle job in November.

Murray edged out McGinn in early totals, garnering 30.3 percent to McGinn’s 27.2 percent. Challengers Bruce A. Harrell and Peter Steinbrueck were the closest next two candidates, with 15.5 and 16.3 percent respectively.

For Seattle City Council Position 2, it appears incumbent Richard Conlin (49.2 percent) will take on challenger Kshama Sawant (33 percent).

For Seattle City Council Position 8, position holder Mike O’Brien (57.4 percent) will battle Albert Shen (35.3 percent).

King County Executive and West Seattle resident Dow Constantine dominated his primary, garnering 75.6 percent of the votes. His closest competitor, Alan E. Lobdell, came in at 12.3 percent.

The King County Parks levy received strong support, with early results showing 68.9 percent approval. The levy replaces two existing levies that fund parks, trails, recreational facilities and open space. It authorizes an additional property tax of $0.1877 per $1000 of assessed value in 2014, with the authorization to increase that percentage over five years.

Updates to the overall count will continue daily until certification on Aug. 20. Full results are posted at http://www.kingcounty.gov/elections/currentelections/201308.aspx.
