Joshua Snyder Photography - Starfield

I went out Saturday night northeast of Connell, Washington hoping for a fantastic viewing of the Perseid meteor shower. After about an hour of continuous shooting with little to show for it, my patience waned and I moved on to more fruitful subjects. Thankfully with a nearly new moon and only slightly smoky skies, the Milky Way was highly visible.

As votes were tallied it quickly became clear that Preston Hart led the vote. His tally at the end of the day was 108 votes or 51.92 percent. However, it may be a few days before voters know who will join him on the Nov. 7 General Election Ballot.

Candidates, Patrice Hebel and Stephanie Hallman are currently tied at 23.08 percent each.
