Republicans at the Washington Legislature may be in deep trouble.
In Tuesday night’s initial primary results, Democrats appear to have a shot at picking up four Republican-held state Senate seats.
At least 11 Republican House incumbents trailed their Democratic challengers.
At least another three Republican House candidates in open seats that the GOP is defending were also trailing Democrats.
As more votes are counted in the coming days, those results could swing, but the initial ballots show Democrats leading not just in the usual handful of Puget Sound-area swing districts.
Democratic candidates were beating Republicans in normally deep-red places, such as the Spokane area’s 6th District, and Vancouver-area’s 18th District.
