With second day of counting, here’s where primary vote results stand in Whatcom County

Preliminary results in the Whatcom County top-two primary have not changed for a second day, according to unofficial totals released by the auditor’s office Thursday afternoon.

Todd Donovan and Amy Glasser will face off in County Council District 2, North Bellingham, and Rebecca Boonstra will face Tyler Byrd in District 3, Foothills, in the Nov. 7 general election. Only voters who live in the district will elect district representatives.

About 31 percent of the 105,045 ballots were counted with an estimated 10 left to count. The next count will be Aug. 14. Ballots mailed on election day will be counted before the vote is certified Aug. 15.

In Bellingham, incumbent Roxanne Murphy will likely face Eric Bostrom for the City Council at-large seat. Jean Layton is 2.1 percentage points behind Bostrom, trailing by 380 votes.

For Port Commission, incumbent Dan Robbins will face Michael Shepard for District 1. Ken Bell will face Barry Wenger for District 2. Voters in all districts will elect candidates in the general election.
