Voting begins for Washington state's primary election on Aug. 4

Primary ballots this year will include races for Congress. The state's entire slate of U.S. House seats are up for election. Voters will also have the chance to shape the majority voice of the state Supreme Court, as a record number of those seats are on the ballot. Some city and county races are also on the ballots.

Voters have until Aug. 4 to put their choices in the mail or in official county drop boxes.
