Election season is just around the corner.

Whether you're an informed voter or not up to speed on the upcoming local races, Crosscut has put everything you need to know in a new voter guide.

As the August 1st primary elections approach, Crosscut has you covered.

Go to crosscut.com for a full view of our interactive Washington State voter guide 2023.

There, you'll find answers to a range of questions from how to register to vote, when to expect your ballot in the mail, to specific tabs for five cities holding local primaries.

Those cities include Bellingham, Seattle, Spokane, Tacoma, and Yakima.

By clicking on each city, you'll discover what's at stake there.

Keep in mind, the voter guide won't tell you who to vote for, but its purpose is to help you make the right choice for yourself.

I'm Paris Jackson.
