Eylar, Crowe to meet in Grand Coulee mayoral primary

Under 200 voters chose the two candidates who qualified Tuesday to run for mayor of Grand Coulee in the November general election.

The names of Mike Eylar and Chuck Crowe will appear on the ballot.

The race required a primary election to narrow the field of three candidates to two. Eylar garnered 164 votes, or 82.83 percent. Crowe took 23 votes (11.62%), and Kimberly Christensen got four of the 198 votes cast, according to the unofficial results published by the Washington Secretary of State.

That office has until Aug. 18 to certify the results.

The all-mail General Election will wrap up Nov. 7, with the 18-day voting period starting Oct. 20.
