Want to run for office? Candidate filing week is May 15 to 19

EVERETT — Brace for the election season onslaught.

The candidate filing period begins Monday and ends Friday.

Soon, political flyers will litter your mailbox and campaign signs will grow in yards like weeds. The hopefuls will start showing up at your door, telling you all the things they can do for you.

Those vying for city, county, commissioner, district and school board posts can sign up online between 9 a.m. Monday and 4 p.m. Friday at the Snohomish County Auditor’s Office at 3000 Rockefeller Ave. in Everett. In-person submissions will be accepted until 5 p.m. Friday. Fax submissions are also accepted.

Contenders for statewide and federal offices, and legislative seats that cross county lines, must file with the Office of the Secretary of State. Sorry, you have to wait until 2024 to run for governor, but that hasn’t stopped Democratic frontrunners Bob Ferguson and Hilary Franz from announcing, in light of Gov. Jay Inslee’s notice on May 1 that he won’t run again.
