An election worker stacks ballots into a sorting machine at the King County Elections office Wednesday, Nov. 7, 2018, in Renton.

Washington’s 18-day voting period begins Friday. That means ballots will start appearing in mailboxes and voters will have some decisions to make. KNKX is preparing a special election series to inform you as you fill out those mail-in ballots.

Olympia correspondent Austin Jenkins joined Morning Edition host Kirsten Kendrick live Tuesday morning, providing an overview of several issues, including Referendum 88, Initiative 976, and several non-binding tax advisory votes. Listen to their full conversation.

Kirsten Kendrick has been hosting Morning Edition on KNKX/KPLU since 2006. She has worked in news radio for more than 30 years. Kirsten is also a sports lover. She handles most sports coverage at the station, including helping produce a two-part series on the 50th anniversary of Title IX and the ongoing series "Going Deep."
