State Sen. Fred Jarrett, who has been considering running for county executive in November, said he’s entering the race.
Two Metropolitan King County Council members – Larry Phillips and Dow Constantine, both of Seattle – announced earlier this year they were entering the race to replace Ron Sims as county executive.
Jarrett said he’d offer voters an alternative to a Seattle-based politician for the executive post.
