By GEORGE KUNKE, geoakunke@gmail.com

SOUTH BEND – The Raymond and South Bend High School cheerleaders that were nominated for All American cheer earned the opportunity to march this year in the Holiday Parade at Disney World on November 19 in Orlando, Florida. Their cheer coach is Wendy

Manlow. The young ladies were chosen by the staff at cheer camp to try out to make the All American Cheer team for the National Cheerleaders Association. The cheer group included Maria Lopez, Lola Moseley, Presley McVey, Jolie Dunn, Mackenzie Kuiken, Macy Nelson, and Makaylee Kuiken.

“The girls got to spend six days at Disney World and performed with 600 cheerleaders in the Varsity Spectacular, opening the parade and getting to enjoy the magic of Disney World,' Manlow told the Herald “These seven young ladies represented their schools well and are a pleasure to work with.”

SOUTH BEND – South Bend Superintendent of Schools Dr. Jon Tienhaara announced last week that South Bend School District is about to break ground on another building project for a new weight room and fitness facility.

At its regular board meeting in December, the SBSD Board of Directors awarded Rognlins Inc. a contract to construct the facility, with groundwork to begin as weather allows

in the coming months. The steel-frame building will be approximately 3,750 square feet and will include restrooms, storage, and a large activity area with multiple weights/exercise equipment. The estimated $675,000 project is almost entirely grant funded.

Dr. Tienhaara informed that the district has been working for the last year with Cheryl Green of CM Green Design (located in Raymond) on the building design and layout, as well as the site specifications

"We are very grateful for two large grants totaling $550,000 to put toward this much needed project,” Tienhaara said. “Our current weight room is quite small and does not provide our students the necessary space. This project will provide the school district with room to grow our physical fitness programs, athletic teams, and provide yet another space to support community needs as well."

The district placed the order for the building this month and Rognlins Inc. has been selected to erect the steel building. "It has been challenging moving

Raymond City Council Meeting Raymond covering the cost of Brumfield Bridge repairs

By KAREN S. CARTER

The Brumfield Bridge, which is the bridge that spans to the new construction on an island in the Willapa River, is in need of repairs and the agreement the City of Raymond has with the developer says that it needs to cover the repairs.

“What this is,” said Raymond Public Works Director Eric Weiberg during the Raymond City Council Meeting on November 7, “is we have the bridge the developer did and it is having an issue with one of the abutments. We have an agreement with maintenance and repairs for the bridge that the city attorney has written up a while ago. He [the developer] hasn’t responded to letters about repairs, so it will be on the city to repair and then with litigation to recoup our money.”

“We have no other option, because the people who live over there will push from a different di-

Weiberg stated, “We are treating this as more of an emergency. It needs to get

The council voted to start the bridge repairs.

At approximately 3:30 a.m. on Sunday, December 11, South Bend and Raymond Fire Departments, and Law Enforcement Officers responded to a one vehicle accident on the north side of Hwy 101 near the South Bend side of the city limit within Raymond. The vehicle appears to have been traveling north when the vehicle left its lane and crossed over the southbound lane and went into the ditch hitting a power pole. One person was transported to Willapa Harbor Hospital by RFD.

Vikes notch two wins; Huber, Patrick shine

By GEORGE KUNKE, geoakunke@gmail.com

Willapa Valley is off to a 3-1 start after winning two of three games in girls basketball last week. Head coach John Peterson took time for the Herald Sunday morning while Christmas shopping with his entire team in King County before heading to the WSUUW women's afternoon basketball game.

Vikings 69, CAA 31

Willapa Valley routed Columbia Adventis Academy 69-31 in its home opener last Tuesday (Dec. 6). Seniors Grace Huber (24) and Brooklyn Patrick (17) accounted for 41 points.

“We played a very good game against CAA,” Peterson said. “We came out of the gates well. Grace scored 24 and Brooklyn had 17. We got good play from everybody. We pressed a little and got ahead early. They're

(CAA) a very young team. We kinda wore on them. I was really impressed with how we played.”

For WVHS, Patrick stole the ball 7 times and handed off 3 assists. Huber also led the Vikes in rebounding with 7, followed by Patrick (6) and senior Gaby Quezada (6). Frosh Rilyn Channell blocked 4 shots.

Valley was in front 19-6, 40-14 and 59-16 at the first three quarter stops. The Vikings shot 37 percent (27 of 75), committed only 9 turnovers and was whistled 9 times for fouling.

Grizzlies 50, WVHS 32

Class 1A Hoquiam's defense was too much for Class 1B Willapa Valley to overcome during a 50-32 win for the host Grizzlies last Wednesday. Senior forward Chloe Kennedy tore down 31 rebounds and scored 22 points for the winners. “She killed us,”

Peterson said.

“Grace (8 pts) got in early foul trouble early,” Peterson said. “Lauren Matlock scored 12 points. She's a nice-looking freshman.

“We were only behind 18-14 at half, and it was 18-16 and they went on an 11-0 run, then they went on a 10-0 run,” Peterson said. “Playing up (in competition) makes us better. We just got wore down. I'm disappointed that we lost, but I'm not disappointed in our effort.”

Valley was 12 of 34 from the floor for 38 percent. The Vikings committed a whopping 27 turnovers. Patrick made 8 steals and blocked 3 shots. Quezada and Huber grabbed 6 boards each.

WVHS 61, Trojans 34

Willapa Valley contained host Pe Ell to 10 second half points enroute to a 61-34 victory Friday

night.

Grace Huber was absolutely amazing with 32 points and 15 rebounds,” Peterson said. “Brooklyn Patrick had 12 assists and 10 steals – that's an impressive double-double. Gaby had 10 big rebounds and played really well on defense and passed the ball well.”

Matlock netted 9 points. The Vikes committed only 10 turnovers and shot 37 percent on 24 of 67.

Pe Ell fell to 2-2 with the loss.

“Overall, it was a good week for us,” Peterson added.

Willapa Valley played at rival South Bend (0-2) Monday, travels to Three Rivers Christian tomorrow, heads to North Beach (1-3) Saturday, and then hits the highway to tough Ilwaco (4-0) Tuesday, which amounts to six straight road games.

Harbor grapplers second at tourney; Swogger, Portmann capture titles

By GEORGE KUNKE, geoakunke@gmail.com

Willapa Harbor's Tri-District wrestling team placed second at the Warrenton (Ore.) HS Invitational Saturday. Willapa Harbor crowned two champions at the tournament.

* Lucas Swogger was a winner at 145 pounds after going undefeated in five matches. All of Swogger's victories were by pin in quick fashion, including at :24, :54, 1:23, 1:11 and 2:27.

“Swogger breezed through the competition again, showcasing his freestyle throws.” Willapa Harbor Head wrestling Coach Preston Crow told the Herald

* Tyson Portmann was a champion at 152 pounds with all four of wins by pin, including times of :26, 1:18, :22 and 2:39.

“Portmann picked up where he left off last season,” Coach Crow said. “He was dominant, beating two Oregon state participants.”

“We are still missing four or five kids due to the sickness going around,” Crow said. “We had our ups and downs in the tournament. Still lots of things to improve on, but the young kids are starting to put multiple moves together.”

Cody Strozyk (2-1), back from a football injury, stepped up and took second at 182 pounds. “He has improved a lot from last year and is focused on being a

team leader,” Crow said. “He has dedicated his practice time to a work-first mentality.”

Kevin Hovis, 138 pounds, won two of three matches to grab a second-place finish. “His speed and quickness are powering him through the competition,” Crow said.

Max Crow, third (tie), and Conner Reyes, fifth (tie), both finished with medals in the “tough” 160-pound weight class,” according to Coach Crow. "We have two tough kids at 160 that are on the verge of winning tournaments." Crow won five of six matches. Reyes posted a record of 3-2.

Jayvian Singharath (2-3) finished fourth at 113 pounds. “Jayvian Singharath had a great showing in his first career matches,” Coach Crow said. “He lost a few close ones due to lack of experience. Coach Crow added that he “sees a bright future if he can stick with it.”

Leon Davison won both of his matches by fall at 160 pounds; his place was unknown.

Andrew Davison was fifth at 195 pounds after winning one of five matches.

Oscar Juarez was 0-2 in two matches at 220 pounds.

Willapa Harbor competes at the Grays Harbor Championships in Aberdeen this Saturday.

“We need to get back in the room and start getting in shape,” said Willapa Harbor Assistant Wrestling Coach Stephen Smith.

Lady Gulls nip Comettes, obliterate Ocosta 71-9

By GEORGE KUNKE, geoakunke@gmail.com

Driven by sophomore Karysn Freeman's 32 points, Raymond registered a good road win at Naselle, 57-55, last Monday night (Dec. 5).

“This game reminded me of a bad roller coaster ride – even though we survived for the win,” RHS head coach Jason Koski told the Herald. “We were down three times by eight, but were able to come back each time and regain the lead. We struggled with Naselle's length and committed way to many turnovers in the half court.

Thank goodness our kids are resilient and able to

quickly move on to the next play because we really beat them in transition offense tonight.”

Freeman connected on 15 of 28 shots from the floor. “Karsyn was pretty good in the open court and our defense was just good enough to get us by,” Coach Koski said.

Junior Kyndal Koski (5' 6'') was tops for RHS off the glass with 9 rebounds.

“Really proud how much smaller kids rebounded versus Naselle's size,” Coach Koski said.

Senior Alia Enlow and ninth grader Kassie Koski both collected 5 steals.

Lady Gulls 71, Ocosta 9

Raymond's defense held Ocosta to zero points in the first half while mounting a 44-0 lead. Kyndal Koski (7 steals) paced RHS in scoring with 20 points and Freeman fired in 15 and stole the ball a dozen times for a double-double. Raymond won 71-9 at Seagull gym last Wednesday.

Junior Paige Williams netted 10 points and grabbed 7 rebounds. Freeman handed off 6 assists and snared 6 rebounds and Enlow took down 6 carems.

Coach Koski said it was a “great first quarter start by our kids; they were focused and ready to set the tone from the beginning. Really happy with how well we

passed the ball to the open player and didn’t force too many shots. Nice to start the league season with a win.”

Raymond shot 47 percent (26 of 62) and its defense forced 33 turnovers.

Ilwaco 58, RHS 56 Undefeated Ilwaco won a thriller over Raymond 5856 when the Lady Seagulls missed a last-second shot Friday night at IHS. Freeman paced RHS with 25 points.

“Proud of the kids’ resiliency and competitive spirit, but the first (two minutes) of the game and last (one minute) of the third (quarter) cost us,” Coach Koski said. “Our young

SB student receives scholarship toward career in construction

Ken Yi Jr., a South Bend student attending Perry Technical Institute in Yakima, recently won a scholarship from the Building Industry Association of Washington (BIAW) to pursue a career as an electrician.

A graduate of South Bend High School in Pacific County, Yi Jr. has always been interested in studying electrical technology. His cousin was an electrician and told him stories of how interesting the trade was, piquing Yi Jr.’s interest early.

“A hands-on career is perfect for me,” he said.

After receiving his certificate, he looks forward to entering the workforce, becoming a journeyman in the trade and eventually opening a business of his own.

Washington state is one of 21 states whose governor has officially proclaimed the month of October as Careers in Construction Month to bring statewide awareness to the many lucrative career opportunities available in the building industry. The average annual wage for electricians in Washington is $79,050.

BIAW is doing its part to build the future workforce by providing $70,000 in scholarships and grants to 21 students and seven construction trades programs across Washington.

Since its inception, BIAW has awarded nearly $750,000 in scholarships and grants to students and organizations who have demonstrated a passion and commitment to developing a career in the home building industry and the programs that educate them.

Seagulls thump Ocosta, NWC

By GEORGE KUNKE, geoakunke@gmail.com

Morgan Anderson blistered the nets for 24 points to direct Raymond to a 5644 triumph over Ocosta in Westport last Tuesday (Dec. 6).

“We got off to a great start at Ocosta,” RHS Head Boys Basketball Coach Mike Tully told the Herald. “We jumped on them early and built a good lead going into the half. Ocosta came out with a little more fire in the second half, and we struggled to score at times. They were able to get the lead down to about seven in the fourth quarter before we were able to make a run and get the win.”

Anderson and Talen Yearout both grabbed 7 rebounds. Raymond shot 40 percent from the field and committed 17 turnovers.

The Seagulls led 14-4 after one quarter, 34-18 at halftime. Ocosta (0-3) managed to outscore RHS 26-22 in the second half.

IHS 55, Gulls 39 Ilwaco (3-2) sailed off to a 23-6 first lead lead and never looked back

during a 55-39 victory at Raymond Thursday night. Anderson scored 18 points for RHS.

“We were done in by two bad stretches against Ilwaco,” Tully said. “They went on a 19-0 run in the first quarter and another 15-0 run late in the second quarter after we had gotten the deficit from 17 points down to nine points. We played much better in the second half, but we were never able to make enough of a run to get the lead back down to single digits. I'm proud of the effort we made in the second half. We need to be able to play like that more consistently.”

Yearout took down 9 boards.

The Seagulls shot only 30 percent from the field.

RHS 70, Wolverines 41

Raymond whipped Northwest Christian 7041 Saturday in Lacey. Anderson tallied 32 points and senior Skyler Hutson drilled in 18.

“We had a really slow start against NW Christian (1-2) on Saturday,” Tully said. “We came out slug-

gish, and Skyler Hutson was the only person who seemed to be able to make a shot in the first half, as he scored 15 of his 18 in that half.

“In the third quarter, Morgan Anderson took over the game. He scored 26 of his game-high 32 in the second half. Many of them came off of steals and breakaways. The rest of the team fed off of that energy as we went from a one-point lead at the half to a 29-point win. Once again, consistency is our biggest issue right now. When we play together as a team, we're tough to stop. When we don't, we really struggle on offense.”

Raymond was hot from the floor, while shooting 59 percent on 29 of 54. Anderson drained 16 of 22 shots, and recorded a double-double with 11 steals. Hutson took down 11 rebounds.

Raymond, 3-2, played at Chief Leschi (2-1) last night, hosts Forks (2-2) tomorrow, and goes to Montesano (0-3) next Wednesday.

South Bend opens with win, then drops three straight

By GEORGE KUNKE, geoakunke@gmail.com

SOUTH BEND – South Bend opened the Taylor Graves era of boys basketball with a 41-36 overtime victory over Northwest Christian Dec. 2 at home. Josh Flynn and Tyler Reidinger spearheaded South Bend's attack with 13 points apiece.

“The boys played their hearts out in this game and never gave up, even when we were down late in the fouth quarter,” SBHS Head Boys Basketball Coach

Taylor Graves told the Herald. “They dug in and kept fighting to pull out a big win. Super-proud of these boys and looking forward to what this season has to offer.

“They out rebounded us on the offensive glass 13 to 5, but overall we out rebounded them,” Graves added. “We also had 12 steals and two big blocked shots that came late in the game to help send us to overtime.”

South Bend committed a whopping 31 turnovers

compared to 21 for the Wolverines. South Bend shot 38 percent from the field.

Loggers 60, SBHS 49 Onalaska defeated visiting South Bend 60-49 on Dec. 3. Flynn was tops for SBHS in scoring with 18 points and Reidinger added 17.

“This was a very physical game and pretty evenly matched between the two teams,” Graves said. “This was a good game and it showed us where we were

SOUTH BEND – Ilwaco crushed visiting South Bend 76-14 last Wednesday in girls basketball. Ilwaco's Mikaila Warfield, an eighth grader, led all scorers with 21 points.

“This was a trial by fire season opener for us,” SBHS head coach Jon Schray told the Herald. “Ilwaco made very few mistakes and executed their offensive and defensive schemes well. I was very pleased with the effort that we put out tonight. There was never a time where I felt the girls were giving up on the game or each other.”

Ninth grader Ava Pine led SBHS in scoring with 7 points. Junior Sophia Markwell collected 7 rebounds and Pine had 3 steals.

South Bend gave the ball away 43 on turnovers and shot a meager 12 percent from the field on 4 of 33.

The Lady Fishermen (3-0) rolled out to a 28-4 first quarter lead and the score ballooned to 56-9 at halftime. Ilwaco led

68-10 heading into the fourth quarter.

Forks 74, SBHS 25

South Bend was romped over by Forks 74-25 at Koplitz Field House Friday.

Avalynn Stigall and Raydynn Morley both put in 7 points for SBHS. Keira Johnson outscored South Bend all by herself with 32 points.

“Forks played well tonight – especially Keira Johnson and Kyra Neel (16 pts),” Schray told the Herald

“I was pleased with the little improvements we made as a team tonight,” Schray added. “We were definitely better tonight than we were two days ago, and that is where we are at as a team right now. Each day we need to just be a little better and we will reach our potential.”

Forks was in front 20-5 after one quarter and 36-18 at halftime. The margin went to 65-25 going into the fourth frame, also won by IHS 9-0.

South Bend (0-2) got a visit from Willapa Valley (3-1) last night. Ocosta (1-3) traveled to SBHS Friday and Pe Ell (3-2) hosts the Maroon & Gold Saturday.

Continued from page 2 kids will be better for being in a game like this on the road versus a physical club like Ilwaco.”

Coach Koski offered a detailed description of key sequences of the game.

“We fell behind early in the first two minutes 9-3 on three consecutive threes, but our kids battled back. In the second quarter, Karsyn got loose on some transition baskets led by great team rebounding. We finished the half tied.

“The third quarter was much the same as the second quarter, winning the rebound battle and 50/50 loose ball wars to go up by 12 with 1:45 in the third. We couldn’t finish the quarter with the same intensity and we lost momentum and Warfield came alive for them scoring in the post.

“In the fourth, it was more of (Mikaila) Warfield

(20 pts, 9 rebs) for them and less of our mental focus as we had too many dead possessions on defense and not a lot of good looks dropping on offense,” Coach Koski continued. “We had a chance to go up by one with 30 seconds left, but missed two free throws. Then with 18 seconds left, we could have gone up by one, but missed a one and one. They made one of two with 10 seconds left to go up two. We had a nice open look for three to win it at buzzer but the shot was just off the mark.”

Coach Koski added that it was a “great high school game versus two competitive teams.”

Williams garnered 9 rebounds and Enlow had 7. Kyndal Koski scored 8 points.

The Lady Fishermen led 15-9 after one quarter and

the game was knotted 27-all at intermission. The Lady Seagulls outscored IHS 20-11 in the third frame for a 47-38-edge. Ilwaco took the final eight minutes 20-9.

Raymond (3-2) entertains Chief Leschi (3-1) tonight and goes to Forks (2-0) Friday.

General election recount requests filed in two Congressional races

OLYMPIA — This week, the o ffice of the Secretary of State received requests to recount certified results for two of Washington’s congressional races. i n the Third Congressional District, the Joe Kent for Congress campaign requested a machine recount of all votes cast for the office of u.S. Representative. in the Ninth Congressional District, candidate Doug Basler asked for manual recounts of two precincts.

“Recounts for various federal, state, and local offices and initiatives are nothing new,” said Secretary of State Steve Hobbs. “it is important to understand the rules that govern the recount process and the circumstances that allow for one.”

Per state law (RCW 29A.64), a recount is required in a general election if the margin of victory is less than one-half of 1% and fewer than

South Bend was at 40 percent from the floor and 71 percent from the free throw line.

2,000 votes. if the margin of victory is at least one-half of 1% or 2,000 votes or more, a request for a recount may be made to the office of the Secretary of State, at the expense of the requester.

i n the results Secretary Hobbs certified Wednesday for the Third Congressional District, Democrat Marie Gluesenkamp Perez defeated Kent, a Republican, in the general election 50.14% (160,314 votes) to 49.31% (157,685) — a difference of 0.83% (2,629). Write-in candidates garnered 0.55% of the vote (1,760). in the Ninth Congressional District, Democrat Adam Smith defeated Basler, a Republican, 171,746 votes (71.61%) to 67,631 (28.2%), a difference of 43.41%.

Neither margin met the thresholds for automatic recounts set in state law.

rebounds. South Bend committed 28 turnovers.

The full machine recount for the Third Congressional District will involve elections offices in the district’s seven counties. For a machine recount, county-accepted ballots without recorded votes in the race being recounted are re-examined for markings that should be counted as a vote. The Ninth District recount will hand-count all ballots cast in two King County precincts.

The requested full Third District recount required a deposit of $48,589.05, calculated by multiplying the 323,927 ballots cast in the jurisdiction – including those that did not contain a recorded vote for this race – by $0.15, as required by state law. The partial Ninth District manual recount required a deposit of $179.25 – $0.25 for each of the 717 ballots cast in the precincts to be recounted.

facilitycontinued from page 1 the project forward due to all sorts of factors, including rising construction costs, various delays, and supply chain issues," Tienhaara noted. “We have specific grant funds with spending deadlines approaching. With the funds we have in-hand, we can now procure the building and the contractor needed to erect the building, which will be completed late this spring."

Raising Additional Funds

"We've had folks contact us who are interested in contributing toward the project," Tienhaara said. “The district will be completing interior work once the building is up, we expect the remaining costs to be approximately $125,000, which will finish out the interior building components.

"Donors who wish to contribute can contact the school district or the South Bend School Foundation,” Tienhaara added.

"it can be a challenge for small school districts to continue to move needed projects forward, especially in these current economic times,” Tieinhaara continued. “We are blessed to have access to competent local designers (Cheryl Green), who has been great throughout all the planning. We also have a talented staff capable of doing much of the interior work and planning in-house.

Obituaries

In Loving Memory of Virginia Marie (Driscoll) Wilson

Beloved wife & mother, sister & friend, Virginia Marie (Driscoll) Wilson of Chinook, passed away Friday, December 2, 2022 at Willapa Care Center in Raymond.

She was born February 5, 1937 to her parents, Thomas and Hazel Driscoll in the midst of a snow storm at the family home in Portland, Oregon. She was born 5th of 7 children. During her early grade school years, the family moved to Ocean Park where Tom found work after WW2. Virginia and her siblings attended Ocean Park Schools while their mother served meals from the school kitchen.

Virginia went on to attend Ilwaco High School (Class of 1955) where she was a varsity cheerleader for three years. She met her varsity basketball player and sweetheart, Edgar “Corky” Wilson (Class of 1954). The two married December 17, 1955.

Eventually moving to Raymond, settling in South Bend, they raised their 4 children: Gary, Randy, Gina and Russell.

Virginia was a great mom and devoted wife. Virginia and Corky were members of the Raymond Assembly of God, where she was the Sunday School Superintendent and Women’s Ministries President for many years.

When Corky retired, they decided to move back to Chinook where they started their married life together. There, he built her new custom home, where she added her special touch during the planning and construction.

Virginia was preceded in death by her husband of 63 years, her parents, brother Ken Driscoll, sisters Barbara Smith, Evelyn Lynn and Beverly Johnson, and greatgranddaughter Aurora Reiger.

She is lovingly remembered by her children: Gary and Jan Wilson of South Bend, Randy and Lynnea Wilson of Raymond, Gina Wilson of Chehalis, and Russell Wilson of Castle Rock; her 8 grandchildren: Kim Corbett, Kasey Wilson, Alan Wilson, Ryan Wilson, Katrina Reiger, Jannea Goodman, Kessa Wilson and Karli Wilson; 8 great-grandchildren: Gavin, Avery and Isla Corbett; Emma and Grant Wilson, Felicity Reiger, Daisha and Drescen Goodman; Her siblings, Lois Kaino of Seaside, Oregon and Les Driscoll of Ilwaco.

Graveside services were held Friday, December 9 at 1:00 p.m. at the Ilwaco Cemetery.

BriDge

Continued from page 1 the council that the school district was looking to purchase two leaderboards.

“I would like to get a colored one up by the school and I would also like to work with the city and get a really nice one to put down by Hwy 101,” Johnson said. “I know that is going to require working with the department of transportation. I know that there are rules about how close it can be to the highway, and other types of things. I know the city and county can help with that. I would love to get a nice leaderboard down there.”

His idea about the highway leaderboard is that the messages could be a mix of school district, city, and county bulletins. The proposed site would be near the Cross Roads Church parking lot or Bordens. The council members indicated that they would be open to discussing this project in further details.

New ambulances

Roberts announced that the North Pacific County EMS hired a grant writer and they are applying for a grant to pay for two new ambulances. One would be for Raymond and the

other would be placed as needed.

New RV park Council Member Chris Halpin mentioned his concerns for the landscaping stage of the new RV park going in on the corner of Hwy 101 and SR 6. He said that many times a developer will put off the landscaping part of a project until last and then run out of money at the end. Weiberg said he would look into it.

Closed for Halloween Council Member W. Ian Farrell mentioned that the crowds of children have drastically increased this year for trick or treating.

“We should consider closing a portion of Fowler Street for Halloween,” he said. “There were 100s of kids and it is one of the top 3 events of the year in terms of kids in one place. And these kids are running across the street in all stages of the street, not just the crosswalks and it's dark and if we can do it with minimal interruption.”

It was also discussed that a portion of downtown Raymond should be closed down to traffic during the trick or treat event next year to keep the children safe.

Any remaining costs of conducting a recount must be paid by the requester after the final certification.

“We are confident our county election officials and workers throughout the Third and Ninth Districts, and across the state, administered an accurate and reliable election for all Washingtonians,” Hobbs said. “We respect any candidate’s right to request a recount, and we will proceed and support the counties accordingly. We ask that all concerned parties be patient as they await the recounted results.”

Historically, Washington’s recounts have confirmed the accuracy and trustworthiness of the state’s elections process. In 125 recounts of General Election results from 2007 to 2021, the outcome only changed three times, all in municipal elections where the margin in initial results was three votes or less. More information about recounts can be found on the Secretary of State’s Elections page.

Since 2004 — the year Washington saw the closest governor’s race in the nation’s history — there have been more than 500 election law and rule changes to improve Washington’s elections and deliver results voters can believe in. For example:

Electronic voting devices are required to have a voterverified paper audit trail.

Ballot-tallying equipment is certified by an independent testing lab approved by the U.S. Election Assistance Commission before it can be used in Washington state.

County auditors must account for every ballot received. This reconciliation must be presented to the county canvassing board when the election is certified and made available to the public. If there is a discrepancy, the county auditor must provide an explanation.

State Patrol signature-verification training is required by election staff comparing ballot signatures.

A random check of ballot-tabulation equipment is performed upon mutual agreement of the political party observers or at the discretion of the county auditor. A manual count is compared to the tabulated results to verify the accuracy of the equipment.

County election procedures are reviewed by the Secretary of State. The auditor or county canvassing board must take corrective action for any issues uncovered during the review. The Secretary of State must verify that corrective action was taken.

Several increases in penalties for election-related fraud.
