Elections processed 7,558 Shoreline ballots out of a voter pool of 41,408.

The rest of the council candidates in Shoreline were unopposed and were effectively re-elected when no one ran against them.

Lake Forest Park has five council seats on the ballot, with only Larry Goldman running unopposed.
