Election: Whatcom County Council race pits left-leaning Bellingham candidates

An open seat on the Whatcom County Council features two candidates from the political left seeking to replace District 2 Councilman Todd Donovan, who is not running for a third consecutive term. Boyle and Morales were the top candidates in a three-way August primary race.

Boyle placed first with 54% of the vote and Morales was second with 24%.

District 2 covers northern Bellingham, including Columbia, Silver Beach and other neighborhoods. It is one of five County Council districts. There are also two at-large members on the seven-member council.

The County Council makes laws, appoints members of advisory committees and controls the purse through its budget authority.
