Last Friday, May 19, 2017, was the filing deadline for candidates seeking office in the 2017 election cycle. Here is the list of candidates from Kent, Kent School District 415 and King County posted by King County Elections, as of yesterday. The list below does not include the special purpose districts or the Washington legislature. Those candidates can be viewed here. Candidates are listed in alphabetical order.

Races marked with an asterisk have more than two candidates, so they will appear on the primary ballot on August 1, 2017. In each primary race, the two candidates with the most votes will advance to the general election on November 7, 2017.
