Ron Wesen and Bill Turner advanced to the general election for Skagit County commissioner in District 1.

Wesen garnered the most votes, but Turner said the race appeared to be a dead heat, assuming those who voted for fellow Democrat Leo Jacobs bring their votes to Turner in November.

In District 2, incumbent Ken Dahlstedt, a Democrat, will face Republican challenger Don Gordon in the general election.

Skagit County District 1
Ron Wesen 3,091 votes 50.2 percent
Bill Turner 2,293 votes 37.3 percent
Leo Jacobs 770 votes 12.5 percent

District 2
Ken Dahlstedt 2,029 votes 49.7 percent
Don Gordon 1,700 votes 41.6 percent
Robyn Choffel 356 votes 8.7 percent
