Have you voted yet? The primary election is coming up on Tuesday, August 6. What will the new Seattle City Council look like?

Plus, all the Washington state Democrats called for beginning an impeachment inquiry this week. And Governor Inslee took the stage during the second Democratic presidential debates in Detroit.

Also, Grace Lutheran Church in Bellevue is closing. It's donating more than $8 million in property sales to local charities on the East side.
