Of the four candidates vying to become Federal Way's first elected mayor, Skip Priest and Jim Ferrell will face off in November's general election.

The latest election results show that out of 9,380 ballots cast, Priest is finishing with 34 percent and Ferrell is netting 27 percent. City Councilman Mike Park has received 19.5 percent and Mayor Linda Kochmar has received 18.6 percent.

Skip Priest, who is currently state representative for District 30, will vacate his position to run for mayor. He has been considered a leading contender for the position since declaring his candidacy in April. Aside from eight years in the Legislature, Priest has served on the Federal Way City Council from 1991 to 1997, including two years as an appointed mayor under the city's current council-manager form of government.
