Thurston County's Aug. 1 primary will narrow a field of 45 candidates vying for Thurston County Commission, Port of Olympia Commission, and many city council and school board positions. Voters also will decide whether to allow tax levy increases in Lacey Fire District 3 and five other fire districts in the county. Though 132 candidates filed to run for office by the May 19 deadline, five have withdrawn since, leaving the open pool of candidates at 127. However, only those races with three or more candidates appear on the primary ballots.
